How does Verizon decide who to lay off?

Retail Business Account Managers are getting let go today.
100% confirmed through word of mouth and linked in posts.
EOIs
For those that have been around a long time, were EOIs offered in the layoffs before competitive edge, do you think the company will offer EOIs in the next round?
Looks like I was right
To quiet quit in April of 2020 when we were working from home every day. Collected 5 1/2 years of salary, 401k matches, got in shape, learned a lot of new stuff and learned to completely relax.
Expecting the RIF in a couple of days but know that finances are taken care of and moving on to next chapter, if necessary.
Best of luck to all
Basically, we're doubly sc--wed if we're laid off
The employee-employer power balance has shifted firmly to the employer, according to Glassdoor’s 2026 Worklife Trends report — and it has prompted employees to reexamine their engagement in turn.
https://www.hrdive.com/news/forever-layoffs-and-rto-pressure-employers-hold-the-power-again/805673/
Don't worry guys, Verizon is too big to fail
You know, like Enron or Sears. We're all going to be just fine.
Senior Directors Cut
Many Sr. Directors were axed today in retail and across other orgs. Everyone else impacted will be notified on Thursday. For Band 6 (Directors & ADs) employees that are impacted, I'd encourage you to take the package they're offering because there will be more cuts and the severance might be worse.
Mattel layoffs hit global brand teams
EXCLUSIVE: Kidscreen has confirmed these staff cuts, which are part of the toyco’s planned brand management business reorg.

How big of a bonus will DS get for these cuts?
How much are 15k livelihoods worth to him?
Watching the stock drop
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.
Nobody knows how this'll play out
People are wild guessing and sending themselves into apoplexy. Wait it out. Get drunk if you need to. But don't invent scenarios in your head that you don't know will happen. Don't do that to yourselves.
End of corporate wireless retail Stores
So believe me when I tell you right now their going to give up about 200 corporate owned run retail stores to authorized retailers or close completely some locations,but over the next few years Verizon plans to have no corporate owned stores .All 3rd party sellers.I believe if your on the Verizon Wireless retail side start planning to get out . Even if you survive these Layoffs over the year or 2 .The end is near
Stock’s a tumblin’
I’m sure this isn’t a good sign about preventing future RIF
Another mass layoff for compucom 2025.
Just a heads-up, Compucom did another mass layoff last week. The company is massively struggling as they cant seem to get stable against competors who want to win their contracts. With their AI claims not actually coming to fruition (nothing is active) and their FLO charting system just being PowerBi reskinned... Basically all of last year was a bust, everything they have and their endeavors are all smoke and the leadership can't figure out how to right the ship with India teams as their main provider at this point while they retired while employed. Maybe next year.
More layoffs coming?
Seems like there may be another round this week? Any news?
Verizon discount after being laid off?
For those who were laid off or had this knowledge, how long does it take for Verizon to take away the 50% discount for your monthly phone plan after your final day at VZ?

Severance for all these layoffs?
Curious what (if any) severance they’ve been giving people during these re-orgs. Is it paid as a lump sum or every 2 weeks like a usual paycheck? Do they give a few weeks/month of benefits so these folks aren’t scrambling for immediate coverage?
A.I. game is up
Big trouble for Dell right now as the AI oasis is an actual mirage. Severe cost cutting is about to happen with massive layoffs about to hit.

is there any way i can get myself laid off? this is a serious inquiry
Verizon Stores Layoffs and Closures
What's the prediction?
No news!?
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?
Big layoff is in January/February next year. Not this November.
No specific date yet, but most teams have started to submit names for the early Q1 cut. Very frustrating to see that workforce cuts are proceeding despite a “great” Q3 earnings performance.
If you are still in denial...
GNT was told to prepare for RIFs. So, this IS happening.
Don't worry though
As someone who has 8 lines with Verizon and I am sure a lot of employees are the same I expect Q4 2025 and Q1 2026 to be impacted by the laid off employees taking thier service somewhere else.
Don't worry though, Dan the hatchet man 🪓 and his PayPal minions got all of that figured with the impressive AI models that Dan exclusively seen and tested 😏
Anyone know more about R2B? Want to know what people in the department think.
A lot of people seem to think we’re getting axed. I’m not so sure. Wanted to see if any R2B reps have any insight.
When is the next round of layoffs?
What do we collectively know so far?
When is the next round and who will be affected?
So by the Time Thursday comes we’re gonna be basket cases
I’m pretty sure by time end of week notifications go out most of management will need straight jackets from all the stress .We are all probably gonna be less useful after all this knowing if we made the cut we still may be on the next cut .Dan has made it very clear that these layoffs will be a way of life as a Vteamer .I mean go team go

Post ID: @OP+1ka5f0syrWhen Verizon doubled down on 5G, we also doubled our debt.

Please take my advice and decide your own path! Leave!
I've been a Team Manager in claims with State Farm for over 30 years. I'm retiring this year after I get my MIP. Honestly feel sooooo sorry for everyone that has to stay. There have always been periods of ups and downs at SF. These last 10 years and especially this year have been an absolute nightmare. When I got promoted to TM in 1997, my boss told me to be sure to leave SF better than I found it. I tried my best but failed. The people running State Farm are absolute parasites, make no mistakes about it. To all employees, leave this place before it drains your soul, and damages your mental and physical health beyond repair. This place is just not worth it. Not saying the grass is greener on the other side but at least see if it is. The Executive leadership you have is exploiting you for only their gain, have destroyed any ounce of decency left at State Farm and are just pure clueless sc-m bags. All they want is conformity, not your opinion. All the Peakon, Voice and View, Skip Level Meetings cr-p are all just the same smoke and mirrors that the politicians use to steal you blind. It's not your TMs fault, but there are TMs that are bad and make it even worse as they drink the Kool Aid. There are still a few decent TMs/SMs that try to do the right thing but if they get caught doing it they get punished. State Farm is a sinking ship, that they crashed, and now the Captain and other officers are stepping over the elderly, women and children to save themselves and kicking people off the life boats. I get you need to pay the bills, but find a way out sooner than later. This get's a lot worse and does every day. I almost feel dirty everyday I have to work at this place, and you know deep down what this company is doing is just wrong at every level. Get out, just get out, Sorry, hope that helps some of you decide.
Just switched 8 lines to T-Mobile
Can’t support a company upending American workers’ lives while stuffing the execs pockets with millions.
Just switched over 4 lines this weekend and convinced 4 other family members to switch to T Mobile.
The best part is that T Mobile is in fact cheaper for everyone. So it’s a win - win.
Vendors
