2026 stock together has been approved with grant date Oct 1,2026 So if NJ requires 90 days notice and they have to get people off the books to avoid that payout, then a June 30 announcement for an off payroll date kinda makes sense. Does anyone have... — read more

Is there still a Verizon 5k this year?
It would be great to see the special advisor run. Last year Sampath showed up but didn’t run
Transparency?
I wish Verizon would be more transparent regarding our jobs. I’m working doing what I’m supposed to do but it’s an elephant in the room. In VCG a lot of upper management meetings but nothing definitive about layoffs are being shared or hinted. We’re... — read more

Will Doreen's Dividend Aristocrat Plans Also be Booted out like the Dow?

Everyone is looking for a new job
But I'm yet to hear that anybody found it. That's how bad it is out there. And that's the main reason why not just Verizon, but most of the companies can currently get away with treating their employees like cr-p. There's literally nowhere else to go... — read more
Danfonso will be moderately successful!
Putting emotions aside and trying to be objective, it seems to me that Danfonso will be moderately successful. They’re just financial engineering their way to a slightly higher free cash flow. Layoffs, outsourcing to India, and cutting costs aren’t... — read more

New VZ add, VZ getting into pharma (partnering with Blue Chew)? Dan?

Leadership keeps changing to no result
So many shakeups among the leadership over the years and things keep getting worse. It's like we're incapable of bringing in or selecting people who are actually capable of leading.

Restructuring should prioritize retaining execution-focused roles, as operational efficiency is best served by reducing redundant management layers.Employee is actually work by heart why layoff all time employees

But what about the CMOs latest s-x, I mean VZ commercial?! Didn't someone say there would be another commercial around rid time? ✅

Biggest impact will be in the Northeast by my understanding.
VBG Layoffs?
Does anyone have any information on whether layoffs are coming to VBG, and if so, when?
Leadership cuts

Mgrinterchange
Some organizations may benefit from exploring manager rotations before layoffs, ensuring decisions are based on business needs rather than politics.

B2B / R2B on this RIF?
With the shifts happening in R2B there will be far less impacts from B2B in the mid market space. Lots of the B2B accounts fall in the 10-35 space that the new R2B teams will own, and lots of cold calling from that team into the same space. Seems... — read more
Almost Impossible to Speak to a Real Live Person
Verizon's IVRU is determined to refer you to a chatbot or a VZ agent via text FIRST, only before they actually allow you to speak to someone in person. I guess this is Dan's solution to better customer service, the customer is number 1
