First full week of 2026 begins tomorrow! Let's get up to speed.
Reality: Will there be continued confusion, rearrangement of organizations with no benefit, outsourcing, gaslighting, propaganda, customers leaving, post it notes and RIF's? Yes. And now you are up to speed. What you will hear: "We are set up... — read more
Having dealt with our terrible vendors in customer service has made me a pro when dealing with other companies outsourced support.
They lies so much that all you need to do is record them and use it against them. Vendors lie, companies pay! Thank you. Make Them Commit to Specific Statements (Then Preserve Them) 🧾 Goal: Turn vague lies into concrete, provable... — read more
My perspective might be colored by sheer luck
But I’m so glad I got laid off. I landed a great job within days. Don’t get me wrong, it was pure d-mb luck, and I know that’s far from the reality of the job market right now. I honestly wish the same break for everyone. We don’t deserve to live in... — read more
Anyone else realize that, after their layoff
They fu--ing hated their job? I've been reckoning with it like every day since. This was my first position out of college, and I just feel more and more apathetic about everything this company did.
Stock Options
Vacation pay rec'd 1/2/26, anyone hearing when our LTI Stock units will be available? I've got 530 RSU's coming my way. Best of luck to all those Rif'd.
Enterprise for sale and taking bids
Is anyone working on this project at a corporate level? Accounting was told the timeframe is 12-18 months, can anyone comment that’s in the know?

AI Layoffs
Somehow, after being RIF’d, I’ve come to believe that if AI truly represents the future, it may actually bring more fairness and consistency to decision-making. Unlike human systems that can be influenced by favoritism or bias, AI has the potential... — read more
Severence
Has anyone received there severance lump yet
How long until the dust settles?
If ever. I’m not looking forward to my severely crippled team scrambling to cover the roles that are now gone, along with all the overtime and stress that will come with it. Our manager is likely to put even less effort into organizing the workload... — read more
Trying to trust the reset
I'm still not convinced Dan is a bad thing for this place. I think it'll just take some time and pain to get where he needs to be to see the positives. I could be wrong, but I'd rather wait to make my judgement than make it right away and proceed to... — read more
"Declination of Notification Period" Form -- Has Anyone Attempted?
THEORETICAL SITUATION: You're in NJ and were given 90 days notice; however, you have another job lined up to start well before then. According to the "Mgmt Severance Program FAQ" doc: "If you seek to separate from the company prior to the last day... — read more
Tell me your Verizon-related New Year's resolutions
Is it to leave (that's mine), quiet quit, tell your boss to go f himself? Something else?
Fiber Chief Network Officer LinkedIn
So a nearly 3 decade long legacy exec gets a new job, brags about it on LinkedIn during the holidays when 13k people have been laid off, and makes the same best network talking point that customers clearly don’t believe anymore - and we’re supposed... — read more

Value
The amount of people patting themselves on the back for Total wireless on LinkedIn is embarrassing and cringe. These fake MVNOs are the downfall of VZ. How about focusing on Verizon brand and not 10 other brands? Value teams are cringe.
Nothing has changed with Dan and nothing will
I’ve watched a steady parade of senior leaders come and go, and after a while it hits you that there aren’t any truly new ideas. It’s the same playbook over and over, just repackaged with fresh buzzwords and a shiny new label. I can’t count how many... — read more
Last Paycheck
Did you guys get your last paycheck for the week of 14th December? I thought it will be paid this week but I dont see it under work history.
Where will Verizon be?
Just make your best guess/bet. Where do you see Verizon 5-10 years from now?
My team is a textbook example of botched layoffs
Almost all the strong performers are gone, and the useless su-k-ups are still here. Our old manager still reigns supreme and remains the worst I’ve ever had the misfortune to work under. They couldn’t have messed this up more if they had tried.
Dan the Hatchet Man
Let me get this straight, Dan is Mr. AI, sits on multiple AI company boards, can clearly see in the the future so much that he slashes 13k jobs because AGI is 10 months away. But he only does email? Wait Mr. AI only does email a century old... — read more
Severance Portal Help
I can no longer access the Severance Portal from my personal computer following my last day worked (it worked prior to 12/19). It also won’t let me reset my password. I sent an email to the address I located with no response as of yet. We’re... — read more
Questions for those who've been RIFed before
From Verizon or anywhere else. What happens if you get a job right away, can you work at another place and still get your severance? On the opposite end of the spectrum, if the severance you got runs out before you are able to find another job, are... — read more
Severance document sign help
I am trying to sign and it says invalid agreement id. How do i go about it? I thought we had 45 days from last day on payroll.
Hey Mr. Schulman, what you doing about the VZ stock price, nothing much as of yet, for now? Ouch, business as usual!
Hey Mr. Schulman, what you doing about the VZ stock price, clearly nothing much for now? More upside to come?? Or else is it business as usual, ouch!

Got a stock vesting notification on Fidelity app
Logged into Netbenefits today and saw the notice below. “Your stock plan shares and/ or cash have vested”.
Verizon and the Union will negotiate layoffs for represented members to supports retiree healthcare.
Direction Anyone?
Anyone receiving ANY direction from their leaders since 11/20? Our organization has changed and our responsibilities are supposed to change but it's been over 30 days and nobody has provided an ounce of direction.
Q4 '25 Earnings
Looking forward to the earnings call. Can we reach 600k customers loss in a year? Blows my mind that failed leadership is not held accountable. Maybe we can have another Kevin Hart commercial where VZ leadership laughs at the competition who are... — read more
