Four people, all in their 50s and above. I'll be honest, I have no idea how we're supposed to continue without them, especially since we were stretched thin as it is.

Any folks experienced the process of being impacted while on vacation? How would you know?

Looks like it'll be a long day for some of us. Our team is so far not affected but we also didn't get an all clear, so I'm not sure if I should celebrate or if there's still a chance some of us will get notified. I really wish this whole process was... — read more 

How many people from Connect were impacted today?

I don’t get why there are so many trolls here. Why would someone in their right mind share their name, supervisor, or personal information just to prove whether something is real or not? Why risk jeopardizing their severance or employment situation... — read more 

I’ve heard 5000 and I’ve heard 10,000.

15% cuts happened in GTS today

Any VBG impacts? BGCO?

I know of three people in GNC that have been informed that they are impacted. It's real and it's happening today. I am in GNC, and not a bot or a troll. Been at VZ for 20+ years.

if you dont know what that means you are a troll or too young at VZ to know anything about RIFs

Believe it or not, for those that are impacted today, coming to this site and sharing the news is not a priority. They are going through an emotional roller coaster, need to inform their families, etc. so just because people aren’t posting here... — read more 

Believe it or not, it isn't happening today. Can’t you see they’re playing with you? They read these threads; they post here. To a sociopath, keeping you on edge is a game—and they love to win. Stop feeding them. It will happen when you least... — read more 

If you’re sharing real info, include specifics. Team, Department, Band, Title. Ideally two of those data points. Otherwise we’ll assume it’s false. Band 7, Cx design

Anybody?

One of the most difficult things about layoff days is hoping its one of your team members and not you. Some of us like the people on our team and wanting one of them to be impacted instead of yourself is a special kind of he-l. It feels selfish and... — read more 

Any word on if Case Mgmet will be impacted?

I saw tons of writing on the wall the past two weeks that made me think I'm going, but the post from someone saying they made the whole thing up has me second guessing myself now. If you're impacted, please let us know. And if you're trolling, this... — read more 

Nooooo

There will be no reduction if force tomorrow! It's all made up! This board will be dead silent tomorrow because not layoffs will be taking place at Verizon. Yes, there will be some that will claim they have been laid off but will not provide any... — read more 

What real estate is actually getting sold off?

These people keep getting spared every layoff and they're the ones at the water cooler, long overdue for retirement. They are good at showing up on time in a crisply ironed shirt with a positive attitude, much like the old IBMers. But as far as... — read more 

At the very least, let's hope this round doesn't drag out.

Let’s see what happens tmm

Does anyone know when the next red chair photoshoot is and how to sign up?

Lots of threads and comments are getting deleted which are not even offensive. Someone I know got blocked to post any comments or posts. Did anyone else felt same?

Not talking about some C-Suiter who sent out an email about their new chapter in life, but someone you actually worked with or "adjacent" to (or at least in your building). I have over 10 years with VZ and can only name 2 people. Plus one more who... — read more 

... and the number of cell sites probably tripled. In most cases, VZ will fire you quickly if you are not cutting it (and replace you with a contractor, not backfill). So if you have lasted over 3 years or so, you have shown you are adaptable and are... — read more 

Out: Monica Hammond (“retiring”) Out: Chris Paul. (“Pursuing other opportunities”) Out: Richard dalton (“pursuing other opportunities”)

the best opportunities come when you aren’t expecting/looking for them. always have a mind set of “what’s the next best role/job for me”. always be working toward the next thing. there are always jobs available at companies, just not when... — read more 

I think most people know by now tomorrow is the day, with a few people in denial. This was a quota game, leaders were told to eliminate x number of people for many teams as the only consideration. This isn’t the end either. There will be more... — read more 

G-b bless y’all tomorrow!!!

Data science projects face up to an 80-95% failure rate primarily due to poor data quality, lack of clear business goals, and organizational silos rather than the models themselves.
