Or its employee only special offer
Time to hit Glassdoor.
Wonder what 15k negative regiews would do to future talent thinking about joining this place.

Dan made 100% of workforce suffer mentally to cut 15%
This says a lot about him as a person or leader.. Verizon will be sinking ship. Forget customer loyalty, I do not think there will be any employee loyalty.
So what's your response going to be?
Say you get told in a few hours that you're being rif'd. What are you going to say in response to your boss? I know there's no options, just wondering how I'll take it if it happens and what to say in return, other than just sitting there... — read more
Abu Dhabi
While Hans is running through the streets of Abu Dhabi shouting “Leeeeeesssssss Gooooooooo” and Dan the man is completely silent, VZ Employees are left with what today? Who actually has any morale or pride left in working for this company? Is anyone... — read more
SD or Directors: When are you supposed to make first call
Can anyone reveal when the first call will be made and when to finish it ? It’s not a state secret.. you can say that much
REPOST: Twas The Night Before RIFmas
Twas the night before RIF-mas, and all through the store, not a salesman was selling, not one through the door. The severance was printed by HR with care, in hopes that the shareholders soon would be there. The "V-Team" was nestled all stressed in... — read more
I take comfort in...
I think my chances are about 50/50 of being impacted today. I started at the very bottom and worked my way up over 28 years. In that time, I’ve held—and mastered—multiple roles. These roles allowed me to learn how everything works. I’m one of the... — read more
Who's still here at 3 a.m.?
I think I'll just sleep through the entire weekend once this is over.
Lake Mary location - how bad will it be in lay offs? Hearing it could be one of the worst places to be for this layoff round?
Or am I just hearing nonsense? Why would they have something against white collar back office?
Take advantage of outplacement services
People often ignore these or maybe are too proud or whatever, but these can be invaluable. They certainly were to me when I was laid off from my last job.
This site is going to LIGHT UP BRIGHT tomorrow with everyone posting every minute.
This is going to become a very popular site tomorrow with all the folks from Verizon posting.
We should play a drinking game
I can already tell I will not sleep at all tonight, and with so many of us WFH tomorrow, the idea of getting through the day with a buzz sounds way more appealing than doing it stone sober. I know this is me trying to joke my way through the stress... — read more
Laid off a few years ago from Verizon… life is BETTER
I feel for everyone going through the RIF right now. I was there, high performer for the company, bled for the company, and there I was dismissed. If they offer it, take the enhanced severance package. This package gives you 50% more but means... — read more
Has anyone done actual work these past two weeks?
I'm in corporate out of Basking Ridge. The place has been a ghost town. My boss and teammates have all been distant. I am seeing meetings cancelled left and right. Serious question. When will the "new normal" start for those that make the first cut?
Leadership Better Get Cut Too!
I’ve pretty much accepted I’m probably getting canned today. No performance issues, just not the type to su-k up. If my direct leadership has any say in the cuts, I’m definitely on the list. Honestly, I just hope they actually cut the bloat for... — read more
Health benefits
What happens to health benefits when we're laid off? Do we get any kind of coverage or do we get cut off immediately?
Commission included in severance?
I was wondering if commission pay was included in the severance package. Preparing for the worst. Good luck to everyone God bless you.
Are they really going to lay finance workers off right before the holidays?
We have families and kids that depend on us. Everyone’s all worried and it’s impossible to find a decent job in this economy. Damn it. They have no empathy. And all the available jobs su-k and are pay cuts.
Direct manager making decisions on who gets laid off?
Curious to know if anyone’s heard any feedback on how they’re making these decisions. Will it be our direct manager deciding who gets cut?
Is your Team WFH on Thursday?
Our manager is making us come in, seems ruthless. I’d like to have the option of sobbing in the privacy of my own home. For the love of god, what is the obsession with being in the office. Give us our dignity during such a high stress time.
No layoff clause in CBA….except if the cause is due to an external event (yes, that’s true)
Will AI qualify as an external event is the question. If so, expect large surpluses in q1 or q2 in 2026.
Does anyone know anyone impacted yet?
Ime seeing a lot of what ifs and haven’t seen anyone confirm people being laid off. If you know someone can you confirm what the packages were? I’ve seen different roll out dates for different states and wanted to confirm if it’s true or if people... — read more
Am I the only one thinking positive about layoffs and severance package?
I’ve worked in the retail side of the business for 8 years. I’ve seen the shift of customer service to overseas, the inflated quotas and the lack of communication between higher ups and store level management. The company has changed its direction... — read more
