25 years. Vbg. Original MCI employee. 64 years old. Can’t help but see it’s my age. Seems I’m the only one on my team. Oh well. Off date 2/20/26. So much for being a loyal employee.

I'm sure a lot of you have seen others posts around retail but I got some solid numbers. 180 stores were impacted today which they are still required to work today which is very sh---y. 179 stores will divest and one will close. It is 30 stores per... — read more 

anyone know if california is affected? if so how bad? and which departments in retail?

Lost our Director, Area Manager and Supervisor today... Not a good day at Verizon.

I’m so sorry you all are going through this. I went through it with VZ in 2023. I just want to let you ALL know there is life outside of Verizon. I encourage you to take full advantage of the FREE resources they offer regarding job readiness. You... — read more 

What now?

Which one of you brought down the VPN!?

has anyone been able to access the severance portal yet? Every time I try to follow the login instructions, it tells me i entered the wrong username and/or PW and won't let me get any further

https://x.com/TheLayoff/status/1991549322509566279 numero uno, today, again. probably the biggest business news of the day. it's a sad throne that we occupy right now

Does this mean we are safe or we are cooked?

Our incoming calls going directly to voicemail! Per Apple Support suspected “network” issue. Required a phone reset…. Coincidence?… Anyone else having/had trouble?

I left in 2024, I was laid off. I'm really sorry to hear about the layoff. That's tough &it's okay to feel whatever you're feeling right now. But i know all of you are VERY capable and good at what you do... Sometimes these things happen and they end... — read more 

Anyone know if they will send emails for VSP?

I just want you all to know that you're in my thoughts and prayers. I have several friends who still work for the company and they're all stressed. This is tough for everyone, especially with it being the holiday season. Hope everyone can lean on... — read more 

Any one get cut?

Anyone in the Vec channel affected? CE's? BDM's? Directors in VEC?

Just remember the Pulse Survey is not Anonymous and will be used against you!

Any word on North Carolina employees and what departments are getting hit?

Is the GRE group safe?

Or are they planning multiple rounds? I am interested in what people think as I know what the execs will say.

Anybody got info on best buy

I'm RIFd, and I'm actually pretty happy about it. I've been here a long time and it was time. I'm grateful for the many years I've been employed. However, it isn't the same company it used to be. For those of you who are surprised and upset, my... — read more 

It looks to me like they're almost positioning Verizon to be sold. I have seen these sorts of layoffs (no rhyme or reason and across EVERY GROUP) before and it has always been before a company goes up for sale. I think there would be anti-trust... — read more 

Both NY and NJ have 90 requirements for WARN notices. How is Verizon justifying some NYers staying on until 12/19 while NJers stay on until 2/19?

Analyst in BR, entire team laid off under VCG higgens group this morning Rip

This is sad for me working for almost 8 years just got laid off

Any one knows whats the last date for Texas & Florida employees? I heard for NJ it’s 02/20 (3 months) due to WARN act.

The way this was handled is a disgrace, especially for a "communications" company. Verizon has been losing customers by the hundreds for months now and their solution is to cut Operations. Some markets are down to a few guys for entire states. Way to... — read more 

If anyone from New York Metro is affected, please post here.

I want to milk this to the maximum. I earned it after 12 years here.

Is there any telegram chat link to discuss effected employees?

No news from the NRB side, assuming it’s safe now?

And that's supposed to be the future. There really isn't any rhyme or reason to this thing.

For new folks here, there is a large "ACTIVE" button right above the first thread... You can use it to see what posts had recent replies. That's it, that's my post. Anyhow, I hope this helps someone. Good luck all.... Reposted from: September... — read more 

VBG Sales Rep who are top performers bringing in millions are gone!

Drop in a short line with info which groups got affected. Let's consolidate things. Bookmark it. DO NOT MENTION INDIVIUAL NAMES.

I don't get how they think customer losses will turn around when the workforce is shrinking by 13,000 people, because the math just doesn't line up when fewer hands are expected to fix more problems. It's one of those decisions that looks good on a... — read more 

Just got off the phone. They said all part time positions have been terminated.
