Like the title says, some people in network have been given word that their 3rd shift that's impacted will know tonight, and dayshift will be told tomorrow. Our group - not a whisper, besides what's in the news Band 7 in both organizations

AD told his team Monday the organization would have a 20% cut on Thursday. Said he didn’t know who, but told the team to be prepared for what is coming.

When are they leaving?

Reading all types of potential nonsense talking about its going to be one of the hardest hit in layoffs and pressure to run the back office function even leaner, etc.

Vestberg was CEO at VZ for 7 years. Coincidentally the same amount of years he was CEO at Ericsson. Two companies left in a wake of mismanagement. The difference? The VZ BoD had a resume to review. Despite his failures in Europe the VZ BoD made... — read more 

Seeing all these sycophants “oh the C-some bullsh-t-three-letter” is doing this and that’s the right decision. So many fools running this place and there’s a halo because they get paid highly and therefore must be brilliant. Fu--ing mo--ns every last... — read more

The former is better for job search

I have an offer from a company and they're asking me to drop my papers and then forward the resignation mail to them for confirmation (my previous job asked me to do this as well) I initially thought I'd see if I'm getting laid off, since dropping... — read more 

I’m going to … Exercise and eat better and take better care of my health. Study up on personal finance to figure out how I can retire early, so I never have to deal with this type of bullsh-t from an employer ever again. Organize and clean... — read more 

I've made decision to leave the company regardless of what happens with the layoff. I'll likely survive, but would gladly take the severance. My question for today is: Does VZ still pay the full STI amount for 2024 if I resign in January 2026?

I have lived through many VZ RIF's now and normaly you get some clues. This has been so tight lipped that we have no idea what is real or Memorex. And yes, I did just show my age...

I just got word this suppose Thursday deadline is just rumor. This is postponed our another month as more high level discussions occur. So just relax enjoy thanksgiving.

My manager was let go.... does the new person that i report to who knows nothing about my work do this?

Was notified today that I had to submit 4 of my bottom guys. I was shocked because I thought they were protected. Turns out only the senior guys have a security or non layoff agreement. The union has been notified and have been given the list.

I think it would be helpful if more of us participated here so we could all benefit from more information. I see that new threads get 300+ views within a couple of hours, which is great, but I do not feel we have reached critical mass yet. I would... — read more 

My AD contacted me and He asked to schedule a meet with some vendors next week. Was this BAU and pretending nothing is going on or a sign of being safe?

If i am on FMLA, am i gonna be saved?

I am a new employee via contract and 8 months in my observation has been WTF since month 3, when I really got the lay of the land. Beyond the share price decline and lost market value, the organization lacks unity and accountability. There are way... — read more 

LMs for I&M, CXM, CO techs, contract services, Analysts, Motor Vehicles? I know everyone is going to be affected, but curious if anyone “in the know” has a pulse on average # per AD/SD they have to lose? I’ve heard up to 2 or 3 per SD, including ADs... — read more 

Will reorgs be announced? If so does that mean that new org charts were already made in advance? Or is tomorrow strictly just layoffs

One way or another we will finally all know tomorrow. That’s a relief in itself. Extremely surprised there’s nobody saying anything still, but tomorrow we ride! Good luck to all, and may what you wish for come to fruition.

If you want an idea of how well of a job AI will do, look what it did to ACSS. It took an already terrible system and managed to make it worse. The loading/buffering is unbelievable. A parent AYS ticket has been open for 3 months with no resolution... — read more 

Although we often can’t see it when it’s happening. But look back a few months or sometimes years down the road, and it’s obvious.

Received and invite for tomorrow then it disappeared. Came from the VP coms person. Am I dead or am I safe?

Are we still expecting a strike in the east coast next summer ? I’m sure new CEO would want to settle unless he will be very strict with negotiations

If so, how many pills and/or co-ktails are you taking to sleep? Lol

If we get laid off?

Need to set the alarm, don't want to miss the call and pi-s my boss or HR off, they may fire me.

I know many will dislike this post, but I really do not care. I am glad Verizon is dropping all DEI initiatives and going back to merit-based practices. Good luck to everyone tomorrow. Even if we don't get a call tomorrow, I have no doubt more are on... — read more 

With all these layoffs happening tomorrow and early next year. Do we still expect for a strike to happen out in the east coast or will the new CEO settle ?

VZ CEO from 11/17/2025 In my opinion the union is done after watching this. So start maneuvering

a company that once was sold, got bankrupt and resurrected from the dead .... imagine all the cash these guys made/ will be making.... should we be suspicious ? Will Frontier also face a massive lay off initiative?
