#warning

I was talking to a friend the other day and he said he always knows layoffs are coming at his company because managers basically go missing for weeks and routine meetings get canceled. Do we have something that? Has anybody noticed any similar or different clear signs layoffs are coming at Verizon?

After leaving Chevron, I learned the hard way that you really need to be careful about who you trust. Even people who seem very supportive, offering to help with your resume, connect you to Society of Petroleum Engineers committees, review papers, or ask about your job search may not always have your best interests in mind.

Please protect your information. Don’t share detailed resumes, job search updates, new company plans, or paper drafts unless you fully trust the person and understand why they need that information. Keep things professional and limited.

65% of layoffs over the last 2 years have been Band 4 employees.

You have been warned.

Heads up it’s getting started

Teams that have not begun deploying practical AI solutions for workflow automation, decision support, or cost optimization should expect increasing pressure to do so. Enterprise trends show AI initiatives are quickly shifting from optional innovation projects to core operational expectations tied to efficiency and budget discipline.

Waiting too long typically reduces a team’s ability to influence how AI is implemented. Instead of shaping use cases that fit their processes, they risk having centrally mandated tools introduced on compressed timelines.

Although current AI intake and governance processes may feel slow or overly complex, that friction is temporary. As organizations pursue measurable productivity improvements, broader and more standardized AI deployment is likely approaching. You have been warned!

I'm wondering if there's a way to predict if you're on the list or not. Such as less work, avoidant manager, things like that.

A union has issued a warning regarding impending layoffs across municipal services. These layoffs are specifically expected to impact janitorial staff. The affected entities include Chicago police and fire stations, as well as other city buildings. This move indicates potential job losses for essential support workers within the city's infrastructure. The union's alert signals a significant concern for public service employees in the area.

Monday. 15% by mid Feb.

Lots of harr-assment & Bull-y-ing. Very disorganized. They treat people like cra-p

This forum will get very busy in Q2 - just get ready.

Dell is about to get broken off

I have been carefully watching the status of RSUs due to being riffed. I have a screen shot of RSU units and estimated value at that time. The severance FAQ document Q.33 indicates that RSUs granted in 2023, 2024 and 2025 will pay out at their vested rate in 60-90 days after severance.

WARNING: What is not stated .... is that all your RSU's will be frozen at stock value as of 12/19/2025 (last day of employment). Meaning -- what is distributed (arbitrarily and in the last few weeks) is now where near the estimated vested rate per Fidelty in November or December.

Insider here.
If you're in wireless, GET OUT. NOW.
No joke.

What happens if you get 2 ROD at once? Info hubs are unclear.

If you have been recently laid off or left on your own, double check your vesting amount especially if you Rollover your account. I was fully vested as I had been with TD a long time past the vesting requirement before I left. I received an email in December telling me I needed to rollover my account or make an election by a certain time period or my account would be closed and I would basically receive a check for the balance. I rolled it, but then I was missing a large sum of money which was the match portion as if I wasn’t vested. I called Fidelity and they agreed I had been vested for awhile and they reached out to TD to refund me. I’m still waiting on my money and following up. I’m hoping I’m just a clerical error, but I just wanted to throw a heads up in case I’m not.

Finding a new role took me many months and it was terrifying. Severance runs out faster than you think. Everyone should be putting money aside now because the job market is terrible.

I can’t say much but be prepared

Managers in design centre are prepping for job cuts. Design usually runs lean, and misses the cuts happening in the rest of the company. If this is correct, GM is in trouble. Design has been told in the past that if studios are cutting there are issues coming.

Before you get laid off

If you're still at CVS, you should already be looking for an exit. It's not bouncing back. They will keep cutting until there's nothing left but a shell that can't operate. When it finally collapses, it will take everyone still here down with it. Get out before you're left with nothing.

I mean something useful and at least somewhat credible. We all know major layoffs are coming, so it would be great to have a heads-up. And let’s be kind to each other, losing our jobs would be tough. The job market out there isn’t exactly cheerful or full of options.

Belk is no longer terminating associates anymore for time and attendance issues (late clock in, call outs ect), we were told that because of staffing shortages that associates can only be terminated for egregious wrongdoing (theft ect..). If we terminated every Associate with time and attendance warnings we would literally have no associates left.

It still hurts to see a decade of work stolen. I realized too late that I was hired to do the heavy lifting for others who took advantage of me. (Those who are adept at managing up but made little contributions.) The real disappointment was to see former co-workers who passed off my work as their own because of their lack of competency just to survive the ranking. If they go that then have the decency to acknowledge me when they published or present my work.

Yeah, I know some people only show up for the paycheck. But if you care about these things, then don’t work here.

Frontier Communications and their minions in Rochester New York! Consider yourself warned!

Brace for impact.

I just got Met 1. Out of 7 on this week’s performance review and never had worse than 5 out of 7. The layoff is on.

At my last job, we had been restructuring, updating manuals, doing extra audits, but I brushed it off. Then one coworker got cut. Soon, discussions about automating tasks began. A month later I was handed the pink slip. Looking back, the warning signs were glaring. Only I didn’t want to admit it. Painful lesson. Make sure not to repeat it.

Be prepared, layoff will happen on coming Monday. This is confirmed by vice president of model e, impact will be more in model e and f150 electric

Everyone in my team is discussing about it. My
Manger is giving warnings.

Political company, does not give a sh-t for its employees. Run!

Lets post our reviews on Verizon in Glassdoor to warn folks joining in the future!

Fact - layoffs are happening this week - I know quite a few people that were informed this week. Awesome they do it right before the holidays...

Best of luck to all!

Gone

Watch out

If you are working from home, your job will be replaced by AI.

Well, I just got notice from my manager. I hate to break the news, but the 5 days RTO rumor is true. It’s not 3 days anymore it will now be 5. Seems they are planning to use RTO to reduce headcount without severance. Just fair warning to y’all. I am in shock.

My manager told me that another BIG round of layoffs is happening in mid Nov, approved by people very high up......And then again in Q1...... 66% in previous post was not a lie..... it will be the ultimate goal by Q2 2026...... Everyone should START LOOKING FOR JOBS. All the best

Run for your lives. More layoffs incoming.
