#layoffrumor

I really hate seeing the stock fall this hard because we all know what usually comes next when the numbers keep heading in the wrong direction. If things do not turn around soon, leadership will almost definitely start leaning on layoffs again just to make the balance sheets look better for a quarter or two. Mark my words, they always reach for the same playbook when the stock starts tanking.

Multiple teams n same building told 2 work from home while otha teams n building aren’t being told that.

What does that mean?

Seems like there may be another round this week? Any news?

It’s dead silent. Just liars and liars on this forum

I was expecting to start hearing something by now, leaders or even people on here posting some news. It doesn’t seem like anything is being announced today. I thought down to band 6 was happening today?

Am I alone in thinking something major is coming before the end of the year?

Can anybody shed some light on rumored December cuts?

I just got my early notification only cause my superior is good with me wanted to not hold me out to dry .Im in a department that has been dead a while .I knew it was coming good luck to all .

Workload is insane and it feels like we’re barely keeping our heads above water. Everyone’s walking on eggshells, worried about getting cut. People talk about leaving, but years in and severance keeps them trapped. Morale is rock bottom and it’s exhausting. It’s hard watching a place that used to feel meaningful turn so cold and ruthless.

People were talking about cuts around holidays, what's going on with that?

That's our reality now, and I admit, I'm not handling it all that well.

I've heard from a few people that there's no need to worry about layoffs until next year. The higher-ups don't want to upset people too close to the holidays. Is this true or is it just wishful thinking?

Once it's all over, I just want to see if any of them were right. I highly doubt it, but we'll see.

So hour by hour every publication is using the '15 to 20k layoffs' headlines to get to whatever sl--t they have, and all of the quotes and bullets are the same for all of the articles. And VZ officially has no comment. And this site and Reddit and everywhere else threads their hearts out with rumor/speculation/furvor. And VZ, the communications company with the new 'Tell it like it is' CEO, and a credo of integrity and respect, just allows rumor, speculation, and uncertainty take a deep soak while November 20 gets closer on the calendar. This isn't some scramble with no direction; Big Brother is controlling the communication even if it LOOKS chaotic. Chaos is a strategy.

We all know more layoffs are coming, it's the new norm. Any thoughts on what could be targeted next?

There has been talk about even more cuts coming early next year, but nobody seems to know if it is real. People keep trading bits of speculation and it puts everyone on edge. I am keeping my head down and waiting to see what leadership says. It is tough concentrating on work with that hanging over us.

Gone

I haven’t heard anything myself, but I’d really like to know if next week is going to be safe for all of us. I honestly just need a breather.

One way or another. This wait has been unbearable.

I am being told the announcement is week of Dec 1st. Potential reorganization.

If you’re a manager you have probably already been asked to provide numbers.

I expect at least a 10% cull across all/most teams in February before the end of year reviews.

Getting rid of many managers and collapsing them to ICs and creating teams with 1:20 or 1:25 even, was done to make it easier to give up headcount. It was always going to be the next phase. They are speeding up the next phases of cuts

If you are a full time H.R. and/or H.R. lead working mon-Fri. 7-3, 8-4, or 9-5. Your position is in danger of being eliminated by March 2026, just like the aforementioned post, a list is being compiled and that position is in great danger of being eliminated, and store managers will most like absorb those tasks.

If our manager was cut, does that put us at a higher risk of being laid off? I see people mentioning this but I have no idea what is true anymore.

Let’s start a thread here…

Asking for sincere honest responses. What do you think your chances are that you, personally, will be laid off? I’m guessing mine are at least 70/30 I’ll be cut. That’s based on my organization, my age, my salary.

Just wondering if anyone has heard of a RIF happening this month or maybe December ? Specifically OI

What is happening with this layoff cycle? Very highly skilled employees were gone. It feels this has become another Vmware.

Are we getting prepared for a takeover just like how Broadcom destroyed Vmwareand laid off 19 THOUNSANDS employees?

We are getting squeezed by new small startups due to corporate failures.

It wouldn’t shock me at all if people got cut just days before either holiday, which would be the cruelest timing imaginable.

I was today years old when I learned there is such a thing as a layoff merch industry, and it's thriving. What the he-l? Why are people selling layoff shirts, jerseys, cups, and whatnot, and more importantly, why are people buying it? Somebody make it make sense, please.

Everyone leaving all of a sudden? What is happening? Is Intel gonna be sold off?

Verizon is set to implement a 15,000 job cut, marking its largest downsizing ever

Interesting...sign of the times.

Somehow it’s always the rest of us who end up jobless, no matter what else is going on.

it’s coming

Here it comes..

RIF is coming. T-Mo using cover of VZ reductions to announce own RIF. Gunna be a bloodbath.

Still not seeing anything on here that can be confirmed in the org chart. Anything legit happen today? Or are we waiting for Monday.

Please. No trolls. I haven’t slept in over week just thinking about get laid off.
