I’m in VZ Connect but my manager is terrible and doesn’t communicate well. Can anyone tell me if Connect will be impacted?

Market has rejected Dan's plan. Its been a week since they announced 15K layoffs, the stock hasnt moved an inch. Could be a signal that market is anticipating further deterioration at the expense of cost reduction.

Why don't they cut the entirety of HR and call it a day? I don't think they ever did anything useful for employees. Nobody would miss them.

I work in one of the VCG departments. I can’t share specifics because we were told to keep this private. But SDs and ADs were pulled into a meeting with their VP and notified their teams are all safe. Similar meetings are happening all across the org... — read more 

I work in GNT, below is what I’m hearing as of 10:30EST on 11/19. Please share what you are hearing in the comments. If your AD is getting cut, your ED will notify your AD first thing tomorrow morning, and then notify ICs on the AD’s team... — read more

Legal team was massively impacted by rifs.

Are they sticking to plan to let people go by specific seniority bands and dates? Someone shared a doc with me that says tomorrow it’s only VPs and Sr Directors. Then the next level down the following week etc.

It's going to be tough to right the ship after being so anti-customer for decades now. I used Verizon cellphone service for a year in the late 1990's for sales position and was so put off by the overall experience I switched at first opportunity... — read more 

If I don't get a call today or tomorrow by 10am and I don't get any weird blocked invites - can we assume we are getting RIFd? VGS | AI&D | Alpharetta Office

I’m a union member with 30+ years. I can feel grief and pain in your post. I just wanted to say I wish you a heart felt good luck. We will miss you.

Looks like there’s a meeting with a lot of managers at 10 today. I’m going to assume it’s the HR call coaching them on RIFs…

Has anyone heard anything about public sector BGCO voice?

All the network techs in our state had MNC meetings and calls assigned to us for 8am-9:30am tomorrow 11/20. Asked our supervisor about it and could hear the sheer panic in his voice when he said he had no idea about it and that he hasn’t been... — read more

Across my career, leadership has pulled the same tired scare tactics… threatening people with unemployment, dangling PIPs, and handing out code-of-conduct write-ups like candy. It’s always the same script: intimidate the workforce and hope fear keeps... — read more

I can confirm 179 stores to be closed and down to two markets West and East. Not 100% sure what that means for head counts but 2 MPs left and not sure if 2 RVPs will retain their positions.

Anyone know of any rifs for case management?

In today's job search, is having a LinkedIn account a must? Does it improve your chances of getting hired, even if it's freshly made? Been at Verizon for over two decades and I never thought I'd need it, but I'm not so sure anymore.

Waiting to find out whether I’ll have a job to go back to weeks after a traumatic delivery… while still in FMLA/STD… AND a colicky newborn… so fun! The way they’re doing this RIF is crueler than usual.

How many others have pivoted from "oh, God, please don't let it be me," to "fu-k it, give me my severance" since this all started?

Will Verizon be broken up and sold? I think it's days are numbered.

Is Verizon India impacted because the news mentions US layoffs?

Are layoffs taking into account the immigration status of employees? I don’t wish a layoff for anyone but when it comes to it I would appreciate if US citizens get preference.

Sorry that were all here again trying to figure out how these decisions are being made. Ive been here 20+ years, worked for a lot of leaders at the top (some currently still there) and without giving out too many details -- unfortunately this is far... — read more

What’s happening right now is despicable. It’s also a rude wake up call … no company is safe. This whole “we care about you, V Teamer” is bullsh-t. Verizon doesn’t care about you. Perhaps you’ve given the company your blood sweat and tears for the... — read more
