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.
Yeah im out
Got the call.
Worst time to be “impacted”
Job market tough enough, most people taking vacations over summer so hiring is slow and then we heading into fall and EOY holidays where traditionally no hiring due to budget cycles …. Jeeez
Lets guess the average age of those who'll be laid off today
I'll say somewhere between 50 and 60.
Layoffs master thread
Please let us know if you know which areas are getting hit and how badly.
VBG
Is business being affected at all?
Former employee
Hey I was laid off in the last batch one thing that I was told was we should've tried to unionize. It's the only thing that would protect your jobs. Fight back!
See the 15 minute calendar blocks on Sr Director calendars
Good luck to all!
When will communication go out?
What is the time frame to hear anything ?
Hello from a December layoff
Hello to my fellow 'soon to be ex' V-Teamers. I was laid off in Dec 2025 with a role of Sr. Technical Project Manager (6V). Unfortunately, with all of the lay offs, in VZ and elsewhere, finding a new job has been next to impossible. Both my severance... — read more
Store closure master thread
If you are laid off I wish you the best. Mega thread for impacted stores. State, store name, agent divested to if applicable. Remember you can apply to the agent your store is going to. You also can apply internally.
Product & Technology Enablement
Any word on Product & Technology Enablement in VBG ?
Software developer layoffs
Any engineers hearing about layoffs today?
For whom the bell tolls...
Welp... 20 years in, have a 15 minute meeting with my Director in 20 minutes... VCG Ops
On my day off
I’m an AM and on my day off this morning got a text and email from Verizon to join a Webex and my dm and sm both asked us all to join it. Even if off. Anxiety is high
This will be a long day
I slept for a total of 2 hours, all in 15-minute increments. It's sad we have to go through something like this over and over again these days. I guess when they said layoffs are the new normal, they weren't kidding.
Anyone doing the Verizon Morristown 5k today?
Dan and Alfonso might attend
I want to assure everyone that Verizon is not the end
I took thr VSP in 2019. I used my severance to start my own business that is now thriving. It's very environmentally friendly and DEI. I found a huge plot of land in Mississippi and established a farm. We only use man and animal power so there's... — read more
Teams told to stay home
How fu---d are we?
Will this be a single-day thing?
Any chance it'll wrap up today?
Believe them!
“When People Show You Who They Are, Believe Them”. Same goes for companies. They’ve been showing you that they don’t value you or your contributions to the business and you should believe them! They’re not kidding. You have skills, whether it’s... — read more
Do new employees get severance?
With under 6 months here?
For those of you about to leave
I salute you. You are victims of an inept strategy and an inept and self-congratulatory leadership who clearly do not have a clue about how to turn around things. Anyone who is Band 4 or above should hang their head in shame, complete losers
The numbers are in
+/-4500 for total reduction across various orgs and stores. I
"Laid off", not "impacted"
I wish people would stop parroting the "impacted" euphemism. It's either "laid off" or "fired". Not even "RIF", because that implies that the job is gone. The job is never gone, it's just done by someone else that remains.
Internal system
Layoff decisions should not rely solely on manager recommendations. They should also be supported by objective data from internal systems, including actual work completed, project contributions, performance metrics, and productivity. Using verifiable... — read more
Good decision
Instead of relying only on manager recommendations, layoff decisions should also consider employees’ actual work, contributions, and performance data available in internal systems. This would help ensure that hardworking, high-performing employees... — read more
Leavetakennolayoff
Layoff decisions should be based on fair and transparent criteria. It’s difficult to understand why some employees who were away for weeks were retained while regular contributors were laid of
Mid-Markets slashed tomorrow
Be ready if you are on a discipline or floating on performance tomorrow. 10% cuts are expected. Just when you thought them removing the 50% per month written warning was a favor for you. Syke, it’s just easier to blindside you with a layoff; cheaper... — read more
B2B and Enterprise?
Any news here? Good luck everyone.
Stay away from TCC
North Alabama and some stores within the state are divesting. Stay away from TCC and hold on to any chance of corporate you may have unless cellular sales is an option.
Goodnight and Goodluck
No matter what happens tomorrow, remember that your job is only one part of your story Keep moving forward; life has a way of working itself out.
Does anyone know if PACT is safe
With all the rumors I’m just wondering if anyone has heard any word specifically about porting activation and credit tier 2 (wireline and business credit ) . There have been so many changes and developments it’s hard to keep track of what’s real or... — read more
Bare minimum
If I survive another round of layoffs rest assured I will be doing the bare minimum as I have been for months. I will be expect nothing more from my teams. This company is trash and are crazy if they think I will give more than 30% and that is on a... — read more
Dan!
Dan is just doing what the shareholders want, and he’s okay with the criticism. He knows he’s going to be the scapegoat, hence why he only signed an 18-month deal. Getting paid the big bucks to take the blame. Cutting all these employees will bump... — read more
The Night Before.....
I wish you and yours the best of luck tomorrow.
Emails sent out to retail gms early by mistake.
Emails sent out to retail GMs early today by mistake. They had to have a call with GMs telling them that their stores were getting divested and to have their teams be on a call the following morning. The stores that were safe had another call later... — read more
Divest
Carmel Indiana affected. I was told TCC will be taking it. If I have the option do I stay, or look elsewhere. I’m horrified, and feel like I have no idea what to do.
