Do we anticipate any care at home (formerly landmark) being affected this week?

I’ve been reading the last few posts, so I wanted to know. Is it really 25% of the entire company that’s getting axed this week? Is there more detail into how that’s being done, or is it completely random? What’s really going to happen?

How are people doing? Have you been able to find a job? How long did it take you to find a job after being laid-off and in what field did you find a job (sale, marketing, engineering, management, retail, etc.)?

Those in the know - are Micro AEs still on the chopping block or are we safe.. (for now)?

GL to everyone this week.

any info on what will be happening with us cellular employees?

Who’s actually walking out tomorrow and who’s just going to stand in the parking lot for ten minutes before realizing it’s cold and they have bills to pay?

Can’t wait to see the "movement" take place between the end of lunch and the afternoon meeting. Groundbreaking stuff

Like surely the company wouldn't allow us to hire someone, and then immediately tell us we need to lay people off... right?

Heard 20%-30% cut this week to newly merged North Area for Network Ops/Eng. Can someone confirm????

How is Financials are gonna be impacted. I heard business was a negative margin business and VZ deciding to double down on a losing business.

Sounds like a winning strategy to me. For competitors I mean

As the company continues to take MW after MW on the US employees, what's next? When will thr next MW drop on us?

Personally, I do.

Dell has made it clear they want in office 5 days/week and has stated that all future roles are onsite ONLY - including internal movement. Remotes are not eligible for promotions, and I 100% guarentee it will cut into their bonus and merit raises, as well. Remotes will get a 50% max bonus, and a xyz max merit raise (1.5-2.5%) to force people to quit. That may not happen this year but I'm betting my bonus it will happen soon.

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if that happens this year as like I said, Dell wants all employees to be local to an office and remote employment is no longer offered. What a great and sh---y way to force people to quit...

Essentially, they want everybody to be local to an office. Which is d-mb and pointless IMPO but, that's what they've made clear and in order to do that, they HAVE to begin cutting the remotes at some point.

My guess is unless you are below a sr. director, dell will help relocate you... otherwise it;'s on your own dime. aka 99% of the remotes are FUQD for relocating.

Well, unfortunately the only way to do this is by cutting the remotes. Exceptions will be made for a very small group of people but I doubt that even, as my director drives 90 minutes to the office daily, one way. overall, remotes IMPO are on the block going forward. Unless they relocate, which many won't.

Okay, I’ve about had it with these “tech consultants” in NAM. Has anyone actually met one that actually understands the tech they are supposed to support? They all seem to lack basic knowledge and understanding. Can we just hire our own people yet?

Got laid off as a software engineer in 2024. Found a good life after fidelity.

Just wondering where all the talk about scrum masters getting laid off came from. I heard the Spotify agile model is getting done away with (not just because of the last post).

But how much of that talk is actual truth? If true, then what’s the percentage of scrum masters at fidelity that we are expecting to get laid off?

Anyone know how much WellMed/Optum Florida will be impacted this week?

This week it is official, I will be unemployed for the first time in my life. I've sent out a few applications but I'm nervous. December crew- how did the timing work for vacation payouts and severance, have you gotten your money yet?

Just curious,

1.In which week exactly are promotions communicated and go live in the system?

2.Also at this point are the manager ratings are already locked or the reporting manager still has a chance to update the rating for 2025?

anyone think there will be big cuts in marketing in HQ? Anyone hear anything?

Will ECS be getting hit on Friday?

Out of 14 VPs left, we have 2 maybe 3 decent leaders left at the VP level in GT.

Others are highly toxic, backstabbing, have no vision, will sacrifice their team to make themselves look good, lack technical, product, or design competency.

Make no mistake that sooner or later all of the above will impact all of us even if you are in the space that is isolated from it right now or are able to talk you way out of it (at least for now).

Terrible work environment and have another job lined up. Can anyone offer any advice on how to handle the exit process? What do they do, what can I expect?

The whispers of worst case scenario are getting old.

Did the same design team work on these?

Is there any company polices stating I must be logged on my laptop while at work?
Last week I did not log on my computer one day while at work. I didn't notice anything unusual that day or did I receive any phone calls from anyone telling me they have not received a response to emails they sent me.

Anyone else having issues as well?

I want to know how I can uninstall Microsoft Outlook from my Boeing computer.
I don't want to receive or read any more useless emails every day or respond back to them. I get about 20 emails a day from, coworkers asking about my work, my manager asking me useless questions and emails from Boeing corp. About a year ago, I changed the Outlook settings so my Inbox will never receive any emails in it. All the emails sent to me by anyone go directly in to my Delete folder. I manually empty the Delete folder every day before I log off my computer. I'm tired of having to do the manually empty delete folder every day and want to uninstall Outlook from my computer. Can someone provide the how to uninstall Outlook steps?

I've noticed several people commenting about the need to be in the office 4 out of 6 weeks.

Don't managers get notified each week when someone isn't meeting the 3-day office requirement? How are people able to use the reporting period workaround?

Anyone else tired of the line “Converse teammates are on a separate timeline”?

Former (as of 10 AM today) GAE - just wondering how many lost their jobs today. Serious questions need to be asked how the allegedly Best Network with Industry Leading 2025 quarterly results has dropped its stock price from $270 to $183 in 9 mo's. Good luck to all, I'm lucky & will retire as the package bridges me to age 65 & Medicare with good savings over 30 yrs at Vz. Such a shame and so far from the celebration of Q3 results - I guess $85B in '25, up from $81B in '24 and $78B in '23 just isnt enough??!!

He had investigations so what were they? And why is he leaving or was fired?

Heard someone say that but I haven't heard anything

Mid year and end of year IM, with both reviews claiming I was trending towards IM. In a DF group that has seen very few cuts. How scared should I be?

This team has been all over the place for so long. Anyone have any idea if we will get domain leadership and a reset? No direction. No strong leadership. Always chasing down random MD asks and fire drills. It would be nice to actually help enable the other domains for once. Do we have hope for change??? Don’t get me wrong. I’m glad TT is gone. I just wish we could find some identity here.

I know there are people on this site who probably have some insights into what’s happening with remote employees. Specifically in that middle job grade class (14-17).
If you can share any insights into the remote/layoff strategy in 2026 please do. Should I be concerned and on alert if I’m in this grade range and remote?

Title says it all. Thanks in advance.

Heard internally 14th was layoffs - 15th comp day. What is everyone hearing?
