Has anyone received their notification yet?

Seems quiet on the rumors (Fingers crossed)

The first time back in Feb of ‘22…the Thursday before Super Bowl weekend. A 15 min invite dropped in my calendar at 7:30 am that Thursday…invite was sent from the Director to meet at 9 am. Was given notice of my Rif and given 30 days to find a new... — read more 

We’re all worried, and for good reasons. Everyone’s throwing around random numbers and dates, and it’s making things worse. Being snarky because someone’s anxious about their job isn’t helping anyone. Most of us are in the same boat - stressed about... — read more 

For the past five years at least it's been one bad thing after another. Why can't something good happen, for once? Why is it always layoffs and lost benefits and other similar cr-p? I really, really hate this place.

Looking at 2026 Benefits enrollment, healthcare cost for Self+family went up by appx 15% whereas BPI will be 2-3%. Already a paycut 😭

But that never happens, because they don’t give a damn about the employees or how any of this affects us.

It's officially Tuesday... is this the week? Someone must know for sure, a lot of chatter on the site. Many large meetings were canceled and almost 60 days till end of year. I really wish the company would just do a yearly VSP instead of rifs. It... — read more 

Before deciding it'll be bad, or good, or whatever, why can't we just wait for a few months and see what happens?

I know people are getting new security badges. People are telling me these are being used to track time in-office. Is that correct? Why wouldn't they just track your time connected to the office network?

I am thinking that all functions will be outsourced except those that are required to keep the network running and some bean counters. Eliminate overhead by eliminating headcount, make all stores reseller locations, no inventory carrying costs... — read more 

Instead of wasting M's on Total Wireless and other cr-p brands, why are we not focusing on Verizon and that brand's problems! We have no prioirtiy in this company.

could be because of layoffs this Thursday, could be because the new CEO doesn’t know enough to speak on results yet, who knows

VBG here and I was told next big notification for most groups will be 3rd week in November with December 19th off payroll and 2 weeks per year with a cap. RIF will hit non directional centers worse than three main campuses as the march to have those... — read more 

What exactly does the severance include and is there a max? Is it 2 weeks for every year of service? What’s the max amount of weeks they’ll give? 50? Do they also give bonus and stocks?

If Verizon offered a package deal that was really good, would you take it. What is your definition of a really good package that you wouldn't even have to think about it and sign the next day?

another program that didn’t do what was promised to string us all along again. I am going to just start calling myself a new title and see if anyone notices.

I don’t even care how bad Verizon’s been doing lately or what happens next. I’m overworked, exhausted, burnt out, and I can’t stand this place anymore. After years of hard work, I have nothing much to show for it, and there’s no real path upward... — read more 

So out of nowhere a large an all in meeting was canceled for the 23rd. This happened after all the rumors about next Thursday, and no message from Sr. Leaders as to the cancellation. 10/23 based on what happened seems accurate based on this event... — read more 

Twenty-four years in the same system — and what we celebrate is endurance, not progress. HR calls it loyalty. Most of us call it survival. Look at that photo parade of executives. They’re not symbols of a healthy company — they’re evidence of what... — read more 

Exited last August via layoff with VSP. I often return to this board to see what’s happening. Hearing rumors of Oct 23 reminds me why I am so glad to be gone. 20 years in and glad for my gracious exit over a year ago. Bounced right into a new career... — read more

I’m hearing a lot of rumors about possible RIFs at Verizon, and I’m wondering if anyone knows whether remote or hybrid employees could be more at risk. Do you think Verizon might target work-from-home employees first, or is that just... — read more 

When’s the breaking point, the moment everything just falls apart because so many critical roles are gone and there aren’t enough skilled people left to carry the work?

Has anyone been able to get unemployment benefits when voluntarily quitting? Is this an option. Asked ChatGPT but it answers differently every time I ask it.

That explains a lot

So there is an All Employee call on the 23rd. So i guess that means there wont be a layoff on that day? Who knows

More layoffs, more lost benefits, more reorgs, more of the same. I've lost any hope I had that things might by some miracle improve.

I've read at least a dozen different things - What's going to happen? They signed a 20-year lease for the office space and it's by far the most attractive office we have IMO.

As title says.. I will vote for C. Paul and Vivek (whatever the last name is). They both need to be packed and shipped out asap. They are robbing Verizon. CX su-ks at all levels.

Im seeing posts about this but no departments or business groups named. Im guessing no one really knows and its speculation based on past years? We can only hope for another VSP.

Who filled out the Pulse survey? And more importantly - were you brutally honest?
