Word from any Virginia stores?

Does anyone know or from last round know this. If you take the severance, for example if I get paid out for 20 weeks, do I still qualify for six months unemployment or will it be six months minus the 20 weeks that Verizon paid me severance for?

They completely sc--wed up the decisions on the Customer Experience team. Many hardworking, genuine, and talented people were let go, while many boot-licking, useless, and incompetent people were left behind. I can’t wrap my head around it. At the... — read more 

Hi! Sorry to hear about more layoffs today. Those who were impacted can you share how the severance has been at your level? Both pay and equity? Thank you

What about Fios managers? Are they safe and is Autullii safe?

Anyone else get this invite for 3:30pm eastern? Is it an all clear or doom?

After all these layoffs I might make a president's cabinet next year....

I wanted out for a while, so this is doing me a favor. I feel bad for my teammates who'll have more work now, but it is what it is. I leave happy.

Seen this a hundred times. Massive layoffs, but useless mid manager and c-suites are mostly retained. No real stock value injection attempted. It is a tired strategy, one used on so many brands in the past. The goal is not to bring the company back... — read more 

Anyone in Value org , especially Miami folks git any update/ call. Are we all safe

Have all the notifications been sent out by now?

Could it be?

Why can’t union reps get laid off seems unfair

You are only a number… don’t assume anything makes you safe. The current leadership has 1 priority… Slash and cut.. no master plan, no vision. the AI talk is all a cover to layoff and do stock buybacks.. Best of luck to all impacted today and the... — read more 

Or, to rephrase that, can you ask to be considered for a different role instead of taking the severance? And if nothing is available, then accept the severance instead?

Anyone in Value let go today?

Heard rumors days prior but haven't heard much, out here in the west coast down in the SD team????

Have any changes been made to severance? Can anybody who has been laid off share, please? I ask this each time and I know I'm probably being paranoid, but I always worry that they'll use any opportunity to further reduce the package, like they did... — read more 

Supervisor said he has meeting 11-1230pm. We are in wireline… Cssc rep union . We are doomed

TJ read the script like a news reader. It was the first time I’d ever seen her, even though she took over the CXO role six months ago. Sounds like a “true Verizon leader”. I don’t have much hope left for the future of customer experience team under... — read more 

I don't want to get too hopeful, but it seems these layoffs are above my paygrade, to put it like that.

when will it be clear? eastern time

Rumor of the next round aiming people leaders Sr Mgr, AD, SD, AVP, with less than 10 direct reports in September

Its more like your position is not impacted it’s who you will be impacted. Happened to me

Anyone in the central time zone impacted yet? My nails are gone

Isn't it required by law?

It’s just a rumor; everything looks normal.

A couple months ago, they made most of our building be fully remote (my entire team is with the optional monthly visit) Should’ve realized this was the reason, as I just got the call and I am now out.
