Some generic fu--ing script and didn’t have the ba--s to even say bye. All that hard work for nothing. Hope this place goes into the gutter

Heard india team will have huge layoffs in December first week. Seems dan wants to cut down on outsourcing

I guess they see me as having one foot in the grave already.

Petty? Yes. Hear me out though. My 1 line, phone and watch was running up the score gradually on my bill. About $98 a month or so. Without the employer discount, my bill is now going to be $170! Give me a break. Even if there's no magical ethical... — read more 

Anyone else seeing the same? Maybe I am not looking at this the way I should. Please help.

Were VZ execs too concerned with us revealing salaries? That was a good thread.

I am pretty sure they will disclose age numbers as it's legally required. I wanted to see if we can poll folks that were let go and how many years of experience with Verizon they had and how old are they. I'll start, I am 55 and I've been with... — read more 

Because the way these layoffs were structured doesn’t make much sense, nor how most of the people were selected. The chaos that’s going to follow is going to be impossible to manage.

I took a look at the numbers and saw there is a HUGE disparity on the amount. If they want to be honest in their dealings - pay the higher number

I am safe, and I dont feel great. I feel destroyed. So many people around me are gone, and my heart is broken. I can't even understand how we move forward without some of the groups we have lost today

Any Northern California people affected?

Nasrin laid off a bunch of cyber sec workers in a Group Webex this morning. Way to keep it classy.

I have logged in to the severance portal and I see that the STI amount is 0? Does anyone get it?

Not "just this once." Not to help out. Just don't. They're counting on it. Let them feel the consequences of their actions for once when things don't get done.

Has anyone heard about VcG customer service/loyalty? I don’t go back til December 21 st.

This company is on a death spiral.

I just got a call. My store is not closing but I was still laid off due to “restructuring” Dec 31st is my date!

Or even if your store is in the closing, you may be losing headcount. Cutting bottom 5% little or specialists? True?

The part about being laid off is knowing Verizon is still hiring. It feel like a huge betrayal. Many jobs could have been saved if things were REALLY BEING LOOKED AT!

Anything happening with EUS ?

Off work today sweating bullets. I know my store is not closing but I’m not sure if full time reps are being let go

Anyone know if the CMO organization is affected?

We have always put customers first! Oh wait it’s Dan on Horseback. …so sorry and heartbroken to read all these posts today. Best of luck to everyone impacted by this disaster to Verizon.

They’re not real contributors to the workforce. They bring nothing to the company, and the only reason they’re still around is the cheap internal politics backed by upper management like Kalyani, Senthil, and Vivek. It’s embarrassing that they’ve... — read more 

It's tough out there. I took the package last year after 17 years in Engineering, thinking I'd find a new job without much trouble. A year later, I'm still looking. It's a difficult market, and I truly hope everyone manages to land on their feet.

Does anyone understand the weeks of medical benefit line? Does that mean we keep our insurance for that many weeks? Or is that strictly cobra coverage? They don’t explain anything.

I see for some it's 12/19 and for others it's in February. I'm sure there are other dates in between as well.

Anyone affected in GSC?

AD and SD called, 6 years with VZ. Was recently moved to a new group and was working with senior engineers. Promoted very early on in my tenure, great performance reviews. Didn’t matter they basically said my functions can be done by people in... — read more 

Because I certainly didn't.

If my last day on payroll is 12/19 but my work anniversary is January 1 do I get a prorated amount or is it a hard cut off for years of service?

Any Tulsa folks impacted?

I was hired in December 2 years ago and in the RIF call I asked my manager if I will get severance based on the last day of work or notice day which will make a difference to get a 1 or 2 years based severance package. He didn't know and said HR will... — read more 

Verizon Connect laid off parts of the org today. If you are with Verizon Connect in any of the locations, chime in.

Can’t speak for all business units but I’m in GNT and our market had new email distros created for all groups of remaining employees (NA, Engineering, RF, SP). All of them were created on 11/12 and first used today after RIF notifications had been... — read more 

What a horrible day, I am safe… but my friends were cut and it just feels like a death. NO ONE deserves to be without a job right before Christmas. Sharing what I know, future looking - Consumer re-org will be announced tomorrow. Not sure on... — read more 

This is absolutely brutal. It will take quite a while to get used to the "new" Verizon.

If they have not reduce from that cr-ppy team.. expect lousy bad web and app experience

I am hearing that up to 20 % on the union workforce will be layed off next . (Workers hired after 8 of 2003 ) Any thoughts or facts on this ?
