They want us to help shift all our responsibilities and tie up loose ends. I don’t want to look at my work computer let alone help my manager right now.

Anyone in the Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany area affected?

Got the webex from my boss's boss. I'm out. Last Day 12/20 on payroll. Severance portal opens at 1pm. Corporate Finance Ops. I'm 53. 9 years with company. 3 years as contractor before that. Band 7.

I want to start downloading all my necessary info like paystubs, benefits, reviews, etc to my personal laptop

Are we safe? Or know anyone affected?

The folks in NJ are getting their 90 day WARN notice. In Massachusetts only 30 days, despite the 60 days state law. What gives?

Anyone know who is gone? Heard Shankar but not sure if it’s true.

What’s the severance package like? Enhanced and 3 weeks per year like it’s been in the past? Standard 2 weeks per year? Or is it really just 1 week per year like some rumors have mentioned?

Not even a year here and I got my walking papers. I'm VGS. It was fun knowing you all, I guess.

Relieved tbh - My soul was being crushed and the universe rescuing me because of it.

PAY SOME DEBT THAT WAY, YOU MAD MAN! WE BETTER NOT HEAR THAT YOU ARE ALL USING THOSE WHEN YOU DECIDE TO PAY VISITS TO SEE WHAT IS LEFT OF A ONCE-GREAT COMPANY

Organizational updates meeting with Nasrin at 930am EST. She said if you’re on here that means you’re safe. Looks like all the BISO’s got axed and will be under 1 BISO now.

This company is absolutely mad. They're just throwing in the towel to T-Mobile.

Can they cut 13k people in a single day?

About 80% of the whole VCG PSM organization was let go. That includes Program and Process Orchestration (PPO), Portfolio, and Project Management (PMO). Good luck out there!

Band 6 - Lake Mary - AID . OUT

Got the axe this morning. Band 8 Engr. Was doing the work for higher band team members. It is ironic that Dan wants to get leaner and perform better but keeps bloat that has been here for nearly a decade, but kicks younger employees to the curb.

Was told 1/3 of the top 300 were impacted.

Verizon business group If you were impacted, please post your details here. Letting us know your position would help greatly, especially us folks in the West coast.

I got cut and I’m super upset. I was recognized numerous times and was a top performer… and truth be told, I REALLY loved my job and what I did. Loved my market team. Just truly su-ks.. I know cuts are still being made… the way they did this RIF was... — read more 

The only thing worth anything in the retirement package is you can carry over your sup life insurance. All else seems expensive as cra*. But they do now have an option to get through ACA.

As a spouse to a former Verizon employee who was riffed several years ago. I understand your fears. I pray all get the decision you wish for. Just know Verizon is a business and no one is irreplaceable. There’s no heart in it. I know what this kind... — read more 

VBG, SD and AD called.

Alpharetta Switch here. Nothing so far other than 2 folks.

At least so far. We won't be able to function without them, so I'm assuming either the rest of us will be laid off as well or reassigned to other teams. This will be a long day.

So sorry. Just had it happen to me. Was read a generic script about how I'm going to receive something 'comprehensive' when I relocated less than two years ago. Can't wait for my 2 weeks of severance!

Just looking for clarity as to how this will unfold. Also, I like my boss, he's a good dude. When will I know if he is safe?

Any word from anyone is Wisconsin yet? Current time is 0823am. I haven't heard anything from Ops, Retail, R2B, B2B, VEC...

Employed through 2/20 per NJ Law. Severance portal opens at 1ET. EPP extended 1yr though so...woohoo.

It’s starting now. If you’re in CST or EST, and you don’t hear anything for the next 30 minutes I think you’re probably okay. Good luck

Anyone else having the same feeling? I have not heard anything from my Manager or Director…No invites or schedules on their calendar…all team members are just on the edge of their seats even if a new email pops up. But no word if we are all safe or... — read more 

All these years down the drain. Never once rated low and never written up. Told my job was being eliminated but yet they want to help train the supervisors taking my techs . I work in GN&T in the BMET area. Two of my coworkers also notified

I just logged in to end the waiting but I haven't received any and none of my coworkers received anything while I am pretty the team is impacted did anyone in Texas(Irving) notification for layoff/survival?

Nasrin apparently thought it would be fun to fire a bunch of us on a group call. Classy

What’s the details on your team? I’m tired of all these group chats with depressed people

Today is not the day to post BS. Please try to keep comments professional and factual.

We had 1400 calls in que everyday now today 8 minutes between calls!!! Go figure
