Just a quick note that we haven't had any cuts at VES for a while. I know that some folks are speculating about Executive retirement plants, but I can tell you that it's business as usual for us grunts and that we are somehow managing to keep things... — read more 

Anybody has more info here? I am hearing VZ HQ reorg and/or layoffs in Q1 2016 - shifting things around big time. This has been a rumor since 2014 though, so I am not sure what to believe any more. My boss is 100% sure that nothing will happen, but... — read more 

FYI, I left in 2011 but learned about this today - you guys who are on the ground know this already but wanted to post this for folks that have left (like me)

I'm an agent with Transamerica Financial Advisors. The previous employee directed me here and asked that I post a little something to let the recently laid off (and about to be laid off employees) that if you have questions or need help with your... — read more 

We've heard the across the board cut rumors of 6%, 10%, 20%, which would lead one to think, no one has a clue. The patterns and actions I've come to recognize prior to the last few LARGE cuts, 20%, are not occurring at this time, which could mean the... — read more 

Just curious. Trying to time this thing, I have a slight feeling my days a numbered here at VZ.

Let's spread the word, layoffs haven't been covered by the media and we should make sure everyone is aware about the situation

This has been a terrible year, just look at AT&T's board, look at Verizon's board here and you'll see many messages from hundreds of folks complaining. The companies lost any loyalty to workers, they do everything to offshore work, there is no... — read more 

So, here is the rundown: the upcoming Verizon layoffs will affect 11 Regions, 2 Areas. Will probably start on 10/28, however 11/5 is possible as well. The cuts will affect 15% to 20% of the overal workforce in the regions/areas and this number will... — read more 

This may be just a rumor but that's what I've heard from a source that rarely makes mistakes and is typically very reliable. Anyhow, I've heard that moderate to strong layoffs will affect our finance, marketing and sales ops groups in early November... — read more 

Sure is quiet.......

Things appear to be far worse than we all thought, apparently we may start promoting people on merit, rather than their ability to manage-up. Also, and this obviously is pure fantasy, Directors and above will be actually follow the credo - I know... — read more 

Can someone confirm

Any layoffs in Temple Terrace, FL - I heard 3 folks were let go last week

Most go to the consulting firms that supply low cost IT workers.

The Verizon forum Joe Shmucks Board posts are more respectable and cleaner. Not liking the tone of some of these posts here, they seem borderline racist. Yes this country has an issue with hiring H1B visa employees but take the issue up with Congress... — read more 

This leads me to conclude that Verizon has no layoffs, right guys?

And everyone would live happy lives

I had to go out to Cali for a F2F. The IT building out there looks, sounds, and STINKS like some third world sh hole. It's loaded with H1b visas from India. We're not bringing them up to our standard of living, they're taking us down to theirs. The... — read more 

Verizon has not delivered on it's fios build out promise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_0DmJ3OeVc

There is an opportunity, I am not unhappy with VZ but considering jumping the ship for more money.

Can someone confirm here? Just a rumor?

This should remove all doubt that whatever copper assets they have Frontier and CenturyLink will be the acquiring companies of the rest of it.

I hate going to work now. It is both depressing and infuriating, and it's hard to fake a smile and give a sh*t.

So all the doom and gloom, the sky is falling, commentary can let up for a bit. At least until the next rumor is floated.

Lot of your colleagues say "Ooooohh..i was supposed to be in that list" , "glad at least you were out of this place, Verizon really sucks" , "you will find good job soon" , "you got a great package". and when you aren't around they were talking with... — read more

I'm sure that logo change ate into the bottom line, or cost the company jobs. How many other bogus projects like that occurred in Q3?

Just to try and make numbers this quarter?

Why don't you keep laying off the best in the world. Take your lean six sigma armature crap and your pathetic Cybersecurity management and lay them off! You just got hacked by Stoned High-school students and gave up personal information about... — read more
