If there’s one thing we do best, it’s working ourselves into a frenzy before we even know what’s really happening. That’s just human nature. But I honestly think this time it won’t be nearly as bad as we’re imagining. Dan doesn’t strike me as the... — read more 

When large companies start cutting jobs to protect profits, it doesn’t just affect their workforce, it impacts consumer spending, confidence, and entire communities. Moves like this from major players like Verizon only push us closer to a... — read more

During Dan’s speech he told us that it was his 22nd day as CEO. He then stated that by his 44th day as CEO most of his transformative plan would be revealed and much of it would already be set in motion. This is the start of the 1st week of Dan’s 3... — read more 

There seem to be plenty of openings, though I have heard that a lot of them are just placeholders. I plan to keep doing this every weekend until something finally lands, however long it takes.

Sorry, I don’t belong to a union at Verizon so I don’t understand the protections that it gives you. Are you not able to be laid off without a special package? Or are you able to be laid off but the union will do a strike if or when Verizon does?

I asked Perplexity how do I explain to my children they are not going to college because I was laid off from Verizon? Thanks for the suggestion Dan!! "Remind your child the situation is not their fault and that you are proud of them, regardless of... — read more 

No agreement on Union Contract, New CEO with the mission to cut cost, go lean, blah blah.. Do we need to prepare for EWA?

Doesn’t matter if your numbers are solid if you’re not in a hub, you’re a line item that’s easier to justify cutting. The company wants “collaboration” and “presence,” which really means they’re shrinking the map and forcing people back into... — read more 

With the CEO coming in, will the union get a package or incentive to leave? I heard might be some movement or layoffs for some union members.

Asked perplexity likelihood of my position at verizon being gone. I'm in sales, and it is around 8%. If you are on the business side, you have a much higher chance of being laid off. Also, if you work in accounting or finance, you have one of the... — read more 

All the performance managers, to marketsource.

This is going to be similar to what Elon did to Twitter when he bought it. "To the long-suffering men and women in the trenches of the Verizon workforce, this may sound like a new commander's call for another big push days after the last fruitless... — read more 

We all know the answer, it's the lazy and d-mb people at top with no idea about the work we do. Funny thing is, they are in control of the list again.

There was a lot of noise and fanfare about this but there still seem to be thousands of managers in Finance and a lot of spreadsheets…has anything really changed?

Is it true the that Verizon wants to RIF most employees in non-directional locations in late 2026 and 2027 as part of the broader strategy to go lean? Now that we have three main directional locations, Dan wants to accelerate the plan to shutdown... — read more 

Yes, it's true that RIF is due later this month. However, I heard that since Dan wants to make the org extremely lean, they are also planning for a VSP in 2Q'2026. Anyone heard about that? Wouldn't that be interesting? Trim the fat once and then... — read more

Wireline safe for November 20th? I talked to a leader and they said they think it’ll be more WLS focused.

At Verizon, we are always listening to what our customers are saying as we focus on giving them the best experience at incredible value.

Would be a great cost saving and I don’t think they add much when there are already managers,senior managers,ADs and Directors Get rid of some of the fat and Verizon might have a chance

It is crazy hearing about RIFs when we have so many executives and most people have no idea what they even do. CEO has a meeting, then the SVP has a meeting, then the VP, then the Sr director, etc. All just say the same things and ask what did you... — read more

I looked on the intranet but can’t find the info. If you get RIF, do you get VZ non-COBRA insurance for the same length as your severance weeks? Or does VZ insurance go away on our last day of work? Thanks.

Why are we not seeing any WARN notifications? Is Verizon working on another VSP?

After 28 years, Dec 31 2024 was it for me. Cannot tell you how relieved I do not have to deal with the ups and downs of VZ. The constant every year layoffs, and BS of the senior managers, directors who protect their buddies, and their "click"... — read more

Anybody in Finance worried? They have automated so many reports it feels like they are preparing to RIF us.

I heard people got let go today. At least some. Anyone care to share their story?

If you could say bye bye to Verizon, where would you go? What would you do?

Why would Verizon waste time and resources asking employees to add their accomplishments if they’re getting rid of them? The portal is opening around November 24th. Whoever got the email might be safe — but who knows

Really sheds a light on how unserious our leadership team has been for the past 5+ years, it's too bad he's going to fire my a-s because this is the first time I've actually heard someone at that level make any sense whatsoever

What’s really happening is offshoring and cutting headcount. Once we reach the next “lean” stage and the workload triples, we’ll all discover that no AI actually took on any of the work. At least not in the sense of replacing anyone. I’ve yet to see... — read more
