Today, after 11 years with Verizon, I learned that my position—R2B Wisconsin—was eliminated as part of the 13,000 roles impacted across the company. It’s a strange thing to watch a decade of your life shift in a single morning. But even in the... — read more 

in which groups of employees could band together to amplify their voice for better advocacy and self-preservation.

B8 Engineer. Thought I had a future at this company, but I guess not. It was fun while it lasted. Peace out.

Safe- VCG- 7 band just a plebeian Was hoping for a package, recruiters were hungry this week. Maybe next time. Do I keep my external interviews on for next week? Getting paid to leave wasn’t a bad fantasy. Better than leaving for free.

Has anyone heard anything about the Leadership Development Programs being axed. There was a Reddit post that said they were, but haven’t heard anything about it from anyone else.

I’m a goner after 11 yrs (probably)! Nice knowing yall.

Not burnt but nuked, crazy stuff. It will be a shell of its former self. Brilliant strategy, wireless and broadband, the 2 most commoditized products in the industry, and supposedly a transport provider with the shittiest and smallest footprint... — read more 

Getting people who have given years to this company on group calls to tell them they are now unemployed is inhumane

My boss, my old boss, and my buddy who is a manager all got whacked this morning. There's blood in the streets. Never seen anything like this.

I can't remember of anything worse, but I haven't been here that long.

What about HR? Did they escape again? How about IT? Anyone left to RIF there or all already outsourced?

My VPN just went down and can’t connect. Is it just glitch or they just brought down my access. I am scared now!!!

Welp, there you go. He survived, but there's only 2 left out of 10. How can they possibly do that amount of work? So we know that they're just being kept around for knowledge transfer and then he will be gone in Feb/Mar when the next round hits. ... — read more 

Did anyone from business fraud in NC heard anything? So far it’s been quiet.

Asm in Atlantic south need answers as to job safety for store level managers I know reps are affected but idk about ASM and RM

Has evening tours been notified yet, or do we need to wait till we start the shift?

From Revenue Assurance/FinOps Florida / Miami Ohio / Columbus

Last day Feb 20th

They just laid-off 13,000 employees. So sad. We did NOT think that this was going to happen a year ago. Some things, like lay-offs are out of the employees control. As they say: "Everything happens for a reason". Our family member is in shock... — read more 

Many reps and ADs getting the news today. Calls will begin shortly with a larger announcement mid day

Anyone heard any contractors being layed off? All I have heard atleast from my team is FTE…which su-ks. I thought contractors would have been more impacted than FTE.

Hello all, As someone who dedicated many years to Verizon, my heart is with everyone impacted today. This season may bring doubt, fear, uncertainty, and even emotional or mental strain — and that’s completely human. In moments like this, I... — read more 

Just got told by my AD that her last day is 12/19

Anything on CA side of thing yet?

I guess they are truly looking after the employees being laid off. That is why I am moving all my 6 lines to T-Mobile. Based on my initial calculations it will come out less than what I am paying with the employee discount. Let that sink in :)

Same news as others posted.

So, it seems that higher-ups have been reading this site, as they have extended the employee discount to 52 weeks from the last day on payroll. Therefore, don't be too quick to disconnect your service. Unless of course, you don't want to give VZ any... — read more
