No company wide communications from Dan since he announced the layoffs 3 weeks ago… Do we think that he’ll do a webcast or something tomorrow? Or Friday? I’d love to see what he has to say about all this.

Haven't seen any posts around that. Are managers going to call? Any one can confirm if they got documents to share? Usually that happens at least a day before?

Here’s another worthless perspective from a former VZW sales leader. Large and substantial layoffs like this take several months to plan and put together. There’s absolutely no way that these layoffs were Dan’s sole creation from 4 weeks ago. I’m... — read more
