Any word on any regions of retail being affected?

First time posting, received 1:1 with field supervisor. Other coworker said their 1:1 was expected. One of the thousands gone. Crazy is VZ is only keeping 3 of 12 ops techs that cover SD, IA and NE. Good luck with On Call and fiber cuts. Peace out... — read more 

I’ve heard people are being told to take the rest of the day today if they’re given notice, but what about Friday? I can’t imagine coming in tomorrow and pretending everything is BAU after getting laid off today.

At the time it’s like “oh new center! It’ll be awesome” And now it’s like “too much bloat, have to be lean and a miserable place to be with 75% of your team left in an already lean function” wtf?

Heard that they are planning to move all the Lake Mary jobs to New Jersey in the next two years.

Anyone know what roles were effected most? Did they target specific departments or positions? Regional selections

15 minute one on one with my director, a bit outside the 8am - 10am window but they’re in a different timezone than I am.

I am at the bank now depositing my loose change from the past six months. Waiting for the door to open and listening to Christmas music. Then off to my job in biotech.

I wonder why Union isn’t involved in layoffs because every where I read if the company is restructuring even Union could be laid off! I safely assume August 2026 no more contracts for Union employees. Someone help me understand.

Emails started going to US employees, slack channels for US employees only started showing up. They are protecting the offshore employees from seeing this ugly carnage here in the US. US companies keep making billions here, yet they fire American... — read more

Got meeting invite from SD, but our whole team is on it. SD informed us 2days ago he is moving to another org. So our whole team may be getting let go, except for him of course.

Or if you know somebody who's affected, post their age, please. I want to see if my suspicions are correct.

I’m currently at work checking email and nothing from the ceo but I am in wireline fios customer service but I thought that email would be sent out to all of Verizon I guess not.

Say if you are VCG, VBG, GNT or VGS

Had a pre scheduled PTO day, wondering if they’ll still call or wait until tomorrow. I’d like to get this cr-p over with.

Dan just stated it’s 13,000 in his email. Better than the 15,000-20,000 we were reading

Anyone get this when the logged in this morning. Of course makes me ultra paranoid to have seen a security patch reboot prompt as soon as I unlocked my computer

Good Luck to all, calls should be starting soon. Whatever happens, just know that you will survive this! There is life outside of VZ

Sending prayers to our entire Verizon family.

I got nothing so far. Should I take this as a sign I might make it? I don't see why they wouldn't send out invites for the entire team at once. Is anybody in a similar position?

Those who has received Dan email are safe?

If you are fairly young and get let go, do not burn the bridge because Verizon does rehire in the future, in this job market, it is all about who you know most times.

He could not hold his excitement and sent the invite before Dan's email!

I hope things work out for all of you -- both those let go and those left to pickup the pieces.
