I can't figure out why would you do mass layoffs without truly considering the people and rolls you are cutting? They just got rid of people blindly without thinking about the impact on the future of the company. Who does that?

I received a request from management to investigate how AI could be used so that all the developers could be laid off. At the same time, there's a need to give management some levers to pull so they themselves can't be laid off, since they supposedly make important, high-impact decisions. Fu--ing muppets.

Anyone have any inside scoop? It does impact long term employees.

If leadership does, well, they’ll have to learn the hard way. And we’ll be the ones paying the price.

Brace for impact.

Sorry to the massive amount of I&C and remote workers impacted. Folks at PB ... if it hasn't happened today it will be tomorrow.

I’m so sorry for everyone impacted, especially with this happening just days before Christmas. Try not to let it get to you. It will all work out in the end. You’ll likely look back and be glad you left this place behind.

Amazon will lay off employees. A total of 84 workers will be affected. The layoffs will occur in Seattle and Bellevue. Impacted roles include engineering, recruiting, software development, and product management, affecting Seattle, Washington...

When 3,200 jobs disappear in a town of under 11,000 people, it's not just layoffs, it's the foundation of the whole place getting ripped out. That plant supports most of the families in town, and even though I left years ago, I can't stop worrying about my parents and everyone else whose lives are tied to those jobs. Watching a company do this and walk away like it's just a line item is devastating.

Besides the people that were let go, the impact on their families and this ever changing landscape, where it is difficult to find a new job, there are other casualties as well:
Work that will fall on the decimated teams, survivors guilt, and environment of fear and hopelessness.
Is it finally done for this calendar year?

I'm surprised that more impacted retail employees aren't pushing back especially directors. Do you know why you were chosen? If not, have you asked?

It looks like T-Mobile is also laying people off. Impacting managers and directors rather than ICs from what I can gather online but I have no direct knowledge.

It’s likely that the new CEOs at VZ and TMUS are engaged in a price war hence the cost cutting.

Great Dane announced it will cut back its workforce in Elysburg early next year as the market slows. The company says as many as 164 workers might be impacted, depending on economic conditions.

Not true.. faculty and course leads, coordinators are being let go

Dan mentioned that we can't rely on our network superiority anymore. No need to worry about that Verizon is the new Sprint. Major impacts to engineering teams. There won’t be a good network to rely on anyway. I am already setting the degradation happening.

All impacted and gone as well as impacted mentally from this BS and are staying employed should go to Glassdoor and absolutely annihilate the Verizon review of both the company and Dan the Hatchet man! Let our real pulse survey be heard!

What areas are expected to be impacted this week?

With Verizon laying off, what is the impact it has on Citi technology, Irving?

It’s here, go time. No guesses or speculation. What’s our organization going to look like at the end of next week and who’s impacted?

Any ideas?

Verizon is cutting about 168 jobs in Washington state, including analysts, engineers and retail workers. Many of the affected positions are at stores that are being divested or converted to franchise locations, which removes those employees from Verizon’s payroll. The article notes that the cuts follow wider restructuring at the company as it strives to improve financial performance and compete with rival carriers.

Just in time for the holidays, many U.S. employers have doled out pink slips. This recent move left thousands of Americans jobless and could have a ripple effect on the economy as a whole.

The Dallas Morning News is in a new wave of layoffs under its new owner.

Staff worry about the impact on local news coverage, it'll be less of it.

Everyone loses here. I guess someone makes moeny too.

Did Verizona’s standards team get impacted?

If I’m on leave during these two milestones, how am I impacted? I assume invectives were decided this past month and 401K match is just math, but does LOA impact receipt of either?

What work groups were impacted by the layoffs?

Fiserv being heavily dependent on H1B visa holders.. the new rule taking out the auto-renewal of H1B effective October 30 2025 could impact the overall workforce seriously.

"The end of H-1B automatic renewal for those filing after October 30, 2025, creates uncertainty for H-1B holders, as their work authorization will cease on their current card's expiration date, potentially leading to unemployment gaps while waiting for USCIS to process their renewal. This change can jeopardize careers and financial stability for both the worker and their employer. This impacts not only H-1B visa holders but also their dependents (such as those on an H-4 visa) who hold work permits based on their dependent status. "

Most of the account managers in the territory kept their jobs. We lost around 20% though. ADs got canned & we lost a couple of sr. managers. We had a bunch of account managers who lost stores to indirect, how ever their job was safe & were told to wait until they get assigned a new location. It seemed that r2b & b2b reps took the least hit. Who knows we still got 2026 march to worry about

To all the people that said r2b losing their job to the virtual reps ( i bet they were vcg haters)

Anyways sorry for the ones who got impacted.. i do hope you get a soft landing

Any Northern California people affected?

We have always put customers first!

Oh wait it’s Dan on Horseback.

…so sorry and heartbroken to read all these posts today. Best of luck to everyone impacted by this disaster to Verizon.

Any Tulsa folks impacted?

Many reps and ADs getting the news today. Calls will begin shortly with a larger announcement mid day

Was told 1/3 of the top 300 were impacted.

Verizon business group
If you were impacted, please post your details here. Letting us know your position would help greatly, especially us folks in the West coast.

I just logged in to end the waiting but I haven't received any and none of my coworkers received anything while I am pretty the team is impacted

did anyone in Texas(Irving) notification for layoff/survival?
