#nocommunication

Where is our CHRO when we need her tone deaf and inauthentic posts the most? Culture OS was bragged about and now she’s MIA during the most consequential time in decades? Maybe she’s mad she didn’t get a $4M retention bonus on the backs of thousands of lives ruined like her best buddies. Tough to say, but I am confident AI will guide her in whatever post she does to address us all eventually. And the spineless leadership will all like and repost it.

They say they are going to change, but dear God in heaven when is one iota of change for the better going to happen?
This is like the worst bad relationship your parents told you about.
They say they are going to communicate more… they don’t. When they do it’s more words, less action.
They have made you lose a lot of good friends aka coworkers, for reasons you still have no idea of. There are still way too many bosses.
So help me if someone tries to say they are going to bring Tar-jay back I am going to scream. It’s over. It’s like Mean Girls and Fetch. Stop trying to make it happen. These are NOT your guests anymore. Why can you not understand this?
And speaking of not understanding your guests, you really had a great idea
with the grab bags, but you failed. Aside from the winners, I cannot even fathom who would be impressed or happy with what was in that bag. There is better and more sh-t presently in my vehicle than what was in that bag. And you hyped it up, to our guests. Who waited for it, thinking it was something great! You couldn’t even load it with snacks? A $5 gift card? Jesus anything? My kids birthday gift bags are better and we are poor.
I feel like you are just sabotaging the company now with these decisions. Trying to tank all of us.
There are so many of us who still and who did bust their a-s for this company, and for what? THIS?!

so who is being cut? is it reps, online channels, managers, assistant managers? under performing stores/reps? it’s all confusing

It’s disheartening to hear what’s happening with the converse team being left hanging with their fingers crossed and no clue what, who, or when, layoffs will impact. Why do this for so long dragging it out with no communication? Folks in VP and director level seats seem to be the problem and the real contributors are disregarded and silenced. Things aren’t looking good.

Masters of suspense. Who cares that we’re all twisting ourselves into knots over here.

They’re here for the company, not for us.

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.

Asking because we're getting nothing our manager. Total silence.

This whole process was never going to be easy, but it could’ve been so much better if leadership had been upfront from the start. Instead, we’re left to guess and speculate because no one at the top wants to say anything concrete. A little honesty and communication would make a world of difference right now.

poorly communicated layoffs have led to declining morale, many in my team are considering leaving

There’s been no official communication. Nothing in the media either. We’re completely stumbling in the dark. Why? Do they want to make this even more tense than it already is? Our livelihoods are on the line.

Anyone else noticing this and is it normal for this time of year? I've received something biweekly for months, except lately. I'm wondering if this means anything.

Just in the last two days I've heard
A) 20% reduction in managers by end of year
B) all projects on hold due to disastrous quarter

Does anyone else feel like they’ve been in a vacuum of silence since Thursday? No news, no updates, not from the company at large, not from my manager, not from my manager’s manager… the silence is deafening

In case you weren't aware, they're also looking at activity levels-- So now they're expecting you to click and email and teams and what the f**k else they're looking at to complain about you. And naturally nothing has been communicated, you know know how they measure or what they measure.

F this company.

I'm over here updating layoff.com, my Outlook email, Slack, Blind non-stop. Why don't they just get it over with?

With the way this is being handled, I know I'll be looking to leave whether I'm affected or not and I know so many others who feel the same. I don't know if that was the goal, but if it was, I think they might be surprised at how good it worked when they're faced with a mass exodus after this is done.

I hate the lack of info from management.

Anyone hear anything about tech or engineers being affected by the layoffs? We’ve essentially received no communication from our managers, directors, or VPs since the news came out

Are layoffs going to continue? So many folks were let go, and yet no official communication whatsoever.

They could’ve at least given us some kind of heads-up. I’m afraid nobody can really consider themselves safe right now.

No one communicates, no one coordinates, and you end up doing the same work multiple times without even realizing it. It’s chaos, and nobody seems to notice. This would be bad enough if we had enough people to be able to waste time, but we don't. It's making a bad situation worse, but nobody seems to give a damn.

These days, I swear telling someone your thoughts is like yelling into a canyon. Nothing happens, nothing ever changes, even if it's something that could help significantly speed up things. There's no point in trying anymore. It’s easier to nod and move on than to waste energy trying to fix anything.

Whats the story with the complete silence from management? Nobodys telling anything. No guidance, no news. What`s happening?

Anyone else not get their severance payment on time? I signed the final paperwork on September 4 and was expecting final payment on September 22. No payment received.

300 layoffs. Not everybody at the same time. People that has been with the company for more than 10 years were let go just a few days before Open Enrollment. When staff in key positions are let go, it usually signals something beyond “normal turnover.” It could affect severance, morale, and how the remaining team should respond. HCSC is a disaster, and they are using the washington argument to do that. It is a lie! No communication at all.

@a7+1k60xsqgh said it perfectly.

Pepsi has struck again! It seems that Frito managed the change with the job titles in the proper manner. Meetings and communication were had. But, then there is Pepsi who just dropped the bo-b and everyone woke up on Monday morning to a new job title. There was no communication, no discussions and no email communication.

As a Director, I reached out to HR since every single member of my team had a different job title, including myself. I was told that they were unaware and would look into it. Here we are 48 hours later....and still crickets. How is this possible? This organization is crumbling and we deserve better. You heard of "quiet quitting"....well, you just signed us all up to start doing "less" again!

Now, that the cat is out of the bag, just go ahead and announce the reorg, restructure, merger & sale of some of the territories. Offer VRP to these VP's, Senior Directors and the folks who didn't take the VRP last time. We are all here just waiting for the offer. I for one will gladly take it this time.

Now, we wait and see how many days it takes Pepsi HR & the Division President's to show up with communication and speaking points for us to take back to our teams.

Plain and simple...DO BETTER!

…crickets.

For those who don’t get quarterly bonuses (like CM3s), this is the time of year we have been waiting for. Some sort of proof that the overwhelming workload and complete lack of recognition was at least a tiny bit worth it.

But still nothing announced. Except maybe that “merit” increase, small enough to be insulting.

I took the PIL on 8/21 by submitting the docusign and the share point survey. I have not received any communication or contact from either HR or the outplacement company since I left. Should I have heard something back by now? Has anyone else on PIL gotten any response?

Is it just me? Or are people in different parts of the company feeling this weird feeling of disconnection?

Feels like people don't communicate anymore. Even the executives don't. Like they've given up. People seem to be going through the motions.

Haven't really sensed this before 2025 but I am really feeling it and I can't shake it. Just wondering if I'm the only one.

Don’t know what’s going on, but reps not really willing to explain things. Company must of retired and hired new employees. Not very knowledgeable nor do they seem like they want to help. Hopefully Verizon will light a fire up their kulo!

Oddly enough, I didn't get an email about the role transition.

I know our direct managers are not the ones making the decision on who's going to be laid off, but is there a chance they know already? My manager is a good guy, but he's been acting a bit weird lately, standoffish, and with this announcement, I'm now getting paranoid.

is that a bug or a feature

There was no restart needed and no advanced warning of a download to be done as usual so that I could schedule it for another time. Got 2 inconsistent on my review last week. Is this a sign that I get let go tomorrow?

It’s increasingly unclear what’s happening within Moulis’ former organization in OT. There’s been little to no communication about the long-term plan, while people keep leaving or being let go. Rumors of another reorg continue but with no transparency on timing or impact. Leadership — including the new VP — has not provided clarity or support. Does anyone have additional insight on this?

I was terminated just via email .
What would be the reason ,does anyone know ?
