So are we all just going to nod along, or is somebody going to ask the obvious questions like, "What's the strategy again?" and "When exactly are we planning to factor human capital into it?"

But because things are the way there are now, I feel like I have ten years ahead of me. I just want to be done with this place.

The Existential Threat -- what is Verizon's strategic plan or more importantly an imminent plan to diffuse the potential diminishing of the wireless market share?? The products, service plans, rendered by SpaceX and Amazon -- technologically... — read more

The least they can do is make the last few standing feel appreciated for keeping the fort held down. They lay people off, they don’t replace. People retire, they don’t replace. Someone on disability? Oh well pick up the slack or you’re next. As I’m... — read more 

Guys any recommendation, how much pay can I expect for this role? Year of experience is about 4 +

Does anyone have any details about what July will look like for R2Bs new role? It’s almost like they are turning us into bible salesmen and paying us about the same as one.

Layoffs in Q1, hiring spree in Q2. Classic. • “They didn’t eliminate the work. They just eliminated the people.” • “New hires = lower salaries. That’s the real math here.”

Layoffs are slowing down. The focus may now shift toward recruitment, with hiring expected to increase from July.

Just saw this on LI, it's it true? What does this mean for GN&T?

Looks like 121 Jobs going in August. https://www.nj.gov/labor/assets/PDFs/WARN/2026_WARN_Notice_Archive.pdf

HR says it’s not reportable. I’m done with this racist enabling company.

When is it coming? It’s just suffocating to have 3 layers of directors over 5-6 individual contributors. They do not have much to do but to keep creating new sheets or presentations. Also wasting time on 1:1s , team meetings at each director level... — read more

How does Verizon pay out severance once lay off happens? How many weeks of pay does an employee receive? I have been retail sales rep for 6 years and i kind of hope to be laid off in July How many momths of pay do i get?

Which teams are going to hit harder ?

Anyone else tired of it all? Anyone else devote 10+ years to this company, only to be used like toilet paper and door mat? Anyone else tired of the targeting, retaliation, extra work load, cut in pay, loss of benefits? Maybe we should join up and... — read more

We are always told that we are the safest, but any chance Case would be impacted with RIFs/Layoff?

Since I was notified that my last day is June 5th, I have not been contacted by anyone. My immediate supervisor has not been contacted by anyone. He has never been told by anyone that I have been laid off. I find this to be absolutely ludicrous and... — read more

A thread for: pros, cons and personal experiences relating to Outsourcing/Offshoring.

Heard a mass layoff is coming to VCG.. Anyone has any info ?

does anyone know anything new?

Then he laid off 25k Call Center employees, many were black. AI is real but its being used as a tool to outsource.

I'm seriously asking. Is there even one? Layoffs have only managed to cut useful, productive people who were valuable to their teams and the company. I, for one, can't pick up the work left by people who were recently laid off, even if I wanted to... — read more 

Product SVP allegedly laid off. What’s the future for VCG?

I just thought it funny that TheLayoff's blurb on VZ hasn't been updated in 13yrs, and boy have the numbers changed since then.
