It was great seeing our world class leaders post about Mother’s Day just days after they laid off mothers and pressure the ones remaining to figure out how to absorb the work. The ones that work 16 hours a day and work their teams to burnout posting... — read more
Imagine not having to worry about layoffs for at least a few months
We used to have that. Can we go back to that time?
Laid off on Thursday
I was impacted on Thursday and took the rest of the day and Friday off. Will I be expected to work in my normal capacity tomorrow? Not much was communicated to me
Odds we'll be acquired by year end?
And who would have the means and motive?
I don't give a damn what happens anymore
I trained myself not to stress. With so many layoffs ahead, probably rolling out constantly, there's no point in anticipating. They're free to lay me off. I just don't have it in me to care anymore.
Almost Monday!
Culture is about how employees feel about returning to work Monday. Sam Hammock CHRO: love your company, set the foundation!
What about next week?
Any chances there are some leftover cuts that could happen?
Been looking for a way out
I have been looking for a way out and VZ finally gave it to me. I spent a little over 10 years here, thinking that I could be successful. That was a delusion. While I am not happy that it was on their terms and not mine, I do have a positive spin... — read more
How much is Verizon monitoring this website?
I mean, this site is a gold mine for the management. I am assuming they care about what's in the employee's head (and I might as well be very wrong) - reading this board paints that picture fairly well. Figure out what main themes on layoff.com and... — read more
Sr Mgmt - Verizon Can Lay off 1/2 of All Of Them
They talk big and contribute nothing. Dressed sharp, empty inside, opportunistic and self centered. I'd bet big money that nobody would notice if we were to cut that layer in half.
RSU and vacation payout?
Do the employees who were laid off get paid out on their vestedRSUs and vacation days? There was no reference to it in the payout document I saw
Just rip the band-aid off
They will get to their 30% and another 10k - The slow drip is ki-ling us
Looks like smaller, frequent rounds will be the new normal
The way this round went down, I'm guessing we're looking at rolling layoffs. Small batches, all the time. And all the usual attrition tactics on top. All to make sure we never get a moment's peace.
Garbage piling up
Incredible. Verizon cut office cleaning and garbage pickup to once a month. Yet paying half these upper mgrs over $200,000 plus a year. Remember seeing one VP sending award emails monthly. Not bad. Half a mil to go rah rah.

How many ? Crickets ?
Tulsa Finance Teams
Heard there were a lot of layoffs in Tulsa. Anyone know which teams?
I was laid off, but I'm okay with it
In fact, I wish I’d left sooner. I stayed because Verizon still had this reputation that made it sound like a career making place to work, and everyone around me kept reinforcing it. Looking back, I spent years putting up with bad leadership and a... — read more
Basking Ridge
How many were let go at the basking ridge country club in finance ? Is there a 100 page PowerPoint for that ?
F the cowboy
I was laid off yesterday, May 7. I am not Frontier. 25 years with VZ... 3 moves for this company... I'm happy. I feel relieved. Good riddance. They think AI can do my job! It's not there yet. They will struggle will all these losses of good people. I... — read more
Wait, didnt we have a record qtr?
Then seriously, WTF? So many good people effected this round, makes no sense.
July 2 off payroll?
Mid-week off payroll so they don't have to pay us for the holiday? Are they really that petty.
Layoffs in VBG?
Does anyone have any inside information on potential layoffs in VBG over the next month or two?
This was more than just "a few hundred"
Why do they have to stay so vague? Why not give us the exact number?
You have to laugh at the ineptitude!
We already had a culture of “every employee for himself” thanks to stack-ranking (based on dubious criteria) and other shenanigans. Adding the constant threat of layoffs isn’t going to make people more collaborative and more willing to share... — read more
When senior leaders stay quiet
Leadership isn’t about staying quiet when things get hard. It’s about having difficult conversations especially when their employees are struggling. What’s disappointing is watching so many of them stay silent while the mental strain on employees... — read more
VZ playing with employees
If any VPs or EVP are in this form. Please please and please request Dan to do everything in one single go and stop these RIF. People's are mentally challenged everyday by listening to rumors and fake news. Be bold and if Dan requires customers to be... — read more
Can't hide the truth if you know how to look at the data.
If you are fired, please do the below analysis on this doc you get: Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA) If you are older than 40 (or 50?) years old, you should get a OWBPA document (it shows ages and job titles of the fired people). MAKE... — read more

1% of global workforce cut. Does global workforce include contractors? VZ parsing meanings?
Google says vz has 89,900 employees. The count of contractors is not available. Could contractors be included in the "total" global workforce count (as referenced in several new stories about the firings)? The number of fulltime employees is 89,900... — read more
This feels more like a filler round
I have a feeling the real thing is yet to take place.

Verizon International's Joint Venture with BT Group's International arm
Been in the works for some time now - Anyone care to spill details?
Over 50 you got the call yesterday or today.
Seems that employees over 50 were the largest group impacted today. Experience means nothing, loyalty means nothing, dedication means nothing. With age comes experience and sadly with longevity comes a higher expense. What is needed is a class... — read more
I don’t know if I’ll survive to see retirement
Just two years to go, yet every new round sends my stress through the roof. I made it through this one, but now I’m already wondering about the next. Living like this year after year is no way to treat employees.
No impact on CX
Digital team was bracing for an impact .. hardly anyone impacted. It was surprising given how much Dan hates our digital experience. All 3 layers of directors are intact before they hit working level team.
Tough to swallow but true
I believe Verizon needs to continue building a stronger market-driven culture focused on performance, accountability, and long-term competitiveness. That means making difficult decisions when necessary, including reducing redundant positions and... — read more
What’s the actual number of layoffs?
The article link posted here says a couple of hundred, but other comments here say up to 4,000. Wow! That’s quite a spread. I would think if it’s really in the thousands the company would have to mention it to the media?
