Anyone else here wondering how we’re going to cover all these big gaps we took with the amount of people that left ? Peers in SP were already busy and losing 4 people is just going to add more uncertainty. Those who stayed , get ready to work for the... — read more 

He ran sprint / Ericcson to the ground and did the same with Verizon and now 13k employees paid the price. How ironic , files are about to be released and Hans steps down. He definitely went to island.

OK, that nastiness is over. When's the next round of vacation picks, and can we get softer TP?

So did he quit because he didn’t want to layoff a fifth of the company? 😅

Impact in Ashburn? What groups?

First of all, i empathize with all my coworkers that were impacted today and wish them my best as they pursue other opportunities . I survived today but want to know what is the severance package offered this time? Is it std severance(2 weeks per yr... — read more 

Like may here I was impacted today. I see the severance calculation which makes sense based on salary and years of service, but I see no mention of my vacation time. I have a large vacation balance and wanted to know if we see that payment figure... — read more 

Hans can fu-k up and he gets a nice bonus. In comes Dan, lies with a sh---y PR statement. Communication company with sh-t communication, gets rid of productive workers with great track records, but the bosses fu-k it up.

Was laid off as Verizon rep inside Best Buy. I replied to the message earlier to confirm, but I’ve had no communication since. How do I access to see my severance. Thank you!

Anyone here from the temple terrace office affected?

I was on Maternity Leave and STD and it was determined that my performance was the reason I had been affected. Is this even legal? I thought that is protected by FMLA? Has anyone else who was on a LOA affected, too?

Can’t see anything ahead but a gradual decline with bits of the business sold off over the next few years Verizon, a once proud company has lost its identity…and soul

After all this, I’m seriously considering going into one of the trades. Lots of work available if you’re reliable and show up ready to work

If you’re still employed, try to get union. People should feel secure about their job and not stress about if they’ll have a job the following week, or month. This isn’t the end of the layoffs. Get some protection. The unions are there for a reason.

If you are having problems logging into the portal, try all lowercase letters for the vzid portion and no uppercase letters. This has fixed the problem for some people today.

You are an entry on a spreadsheet. Nothing more. Your work, attendance, team spirit, participation in HR childish buffoonery, none of it matters. None. Give the least amount of effort possible, and when you decide to walk for a different/better job... — read more 

Create a mess for the 4th quarter and see how results are later.

last day of service is 2/20. Total Pay: (lets just say 50k) State Required Pay: 25k Final Severance Pay: 25k why am i only getting 25k?

From what you've seen, do you think older employees were targeted unfairly when they chose who to lay off?

Wondering how many of us have been affected by this. My department Tech Champion level II

I still cannot get into the Severance portal. Can someone post what the package is?

I am hoping it's all over, I see people are still getting calls though.

Any legal advice on why my severance package doesn't payout the full 2024 STI and only a 30 day notice for Ashburn VA office?
