For new folks here, there is a large "ACTIVE" button right above the first thread... you can use it to see what posts had recent replies. That's all from me. Anyhow, I hope this helps someone. Good luck all....

We used to see people in Basking Ridge on here with updates of leaders or teams that they saw impacted. This time its quiet.

What are the pay ranges for Verizon Bands 5, 6, 7?

Ok instead of having staff constantly look over their shoulder and wonder if they’ll be a RIF casualty, why not send out periodic emails to keep employees in the loop? Heck we got daily emails when COVID struck. If not they shouldn’t have mentioned... — read more 

Anyone else stopped receiving as much email traffic, mtg invites or tasks from your mgr?

We usually start doing our year end this time of the year in Workday. Somehow the performance review form is not available online. My manager asked everybody to write up performance review in a document this morning and send it to him. Very strange

Membership is expected to grow by about 5k after the Frontier expansion. Join or die.

I’m “assuming” for those who get cut, they’ll work until 12/31 and will get 2wks pay for every yr worked, healthcare coverage for same period and STI / stock vesting paid out?

“Aggressively sunset or exit legacy businesses” Timestamp: 0:19:06 to 0:20:17 “While we narrow our focus to invest in key growth areas, we will also aggressively sunset or exit legacy businesses where we don't see a clear path to profitable... — read more 

So far only high up American leaders have been impacted. Anyone from or in India felt Dan wrath? If not, do we have a discrimination issue?

We made the top list today: https://x.com/TheLayoff/status/1988002354655097205

HR at this company stopped being about people a long time ago, they love to talk about supporting employees, WLB, open communication. but try bringing them a real issue and see how fast they shut down. The second you speak up youre labeled as... — read more 

Is not because of poor net adds or gained AI efficiencies but to finance the Frontier acquisition. Maybe if Lowell hadn’t squandered 10 billion on AOL and Yahoo we would all be enjoying this holiday season. Poor decisions by leadership with regards... — read more 

If you do get RIFed, do you retain the stock awards you were already awarded?

Looks like we are joining the list. Not sure how big the number will be but this looks bad: UPS: 48,000 employees Amazon: 30,000 employees Intel: 24,000 employees Nestle: 16,000 employees Accenture: 11,000 employees Ford: 11,000... — read more 

Is anyone working? Whats going on? Maybe I am on the list because work is slowing down. I am not getting many email messages from other internal people.

Didn't think I would have to be dealing with a shakeup this early in my career, needless to say pretty stressed watching this all go down without any real information getting through

Nov 20. One way, or the other.

Total drag on Verizon! Two V’s don’t make a W!

Ive worked here long enough to sit thru at least 5 strategic shuffles, and I’ve never seen leadership this tight-lipped... All this while morale sinks sooo fast. Dan keeps talking about building a leaner company and bold changes, but all we get are... — read more 

If all these VP level leaders are getting Rif'd, then who decided which Sr Directors and ADs to Rif? If people were chosen for layoff before the VPs, then in many cases, the people deciding if you keep your job could very well not be good enough to... — read more 

Verizon plans to cut jobs as Dan pushes for a LEAN COMPANY. He said it... Employees in the Potomac region have already been offered voluntary separation packages which are listed on the local union’s website. Those interested need to apply before... — read more 

i’ve been reading about people being forced to train their replacements for at least a decade, but i never thought i’d end up working for a company that does it. when i started here a few years back it felt like there was a real culture of... — read more 

Why are partners like Victra hiring a bunch of former Verizon people? Are they getting ready to take over more than just retail stores? Will they also be opening their own contact centers to manage the customers they activate and support? All... — read more 

Can we agree that data centers will be be farmed out. Can we agree that customer facing jobs are safe, but only untill kiosk improvements are completed and we are looking at a wave of cuts there in Q2 of 2026. What am I missing?

Here are numbers for 2024: Hans Vestberg – Former CEO – Total compensation: US$ 24.16 million Craig Silliman – Former EVP & President, Verizon Global Services – Total compensation: US$ 15.12 million Sowmyanarayan Sampath – EVP & Group... — read more 

Now that the ranking lists have been submitted to HR and Legal, is there clarity on when VPs, AVPs, and SDs will receive confirmation of the impacted employees? Or is it simply understood that those identified as low performers will be RIFed?

Regarding Ronita, I’m hearing that Finance leadership is actually calling band 6 employees to confirm it’s true. Who else is confirmed? Will any Sr Directors please comment on impacts at their level or what to expect next for band 6 and down?

Getting prepped for resume building and job interviews. Months ago before Dan, my leader said we need to worry when upper management starts resume and interview prep talks come into play.

It's good to know there are 'laws' in place to prevent telecoms from doing this again. We know they have the best interest of the customer (shareholders) as their top 'priority'!... — read more 

I'm wondering if it is too late to volunteer at this point? Too late? Lists at point of no return? I know not too many here have a crystal ball..but some may.

Please, somebody tell me they managed to get some offers because I'm starting to get genuinely depressed.

How many of these places do we expect to keep more than 1 person? Most of the Network Affecting work happens during the MW, most of the work can be contracted out or sent to other grps to run configurations. Will the switch techs just be there for... — read more 

saw my SD in the hallway - she looked very upset. I asked her what's up and she pulled me into a room. She just learned she's out. Layoffs will be 20% across all bands, all BUs, all geos, all everything. SVPs, VPs, stores, GN&T, everything. Looks... — read more 

Given that we are at the latter part of the year, does anyone know if one's STI gets paid since we have already hit our goals committed for the year, even if that means a prorated rate, I don't know if that happened in previous RIFs around the same... — read more 

Seeing posts discussing some of the orgs and rumors of how hard they are going to be hit, wondering what it's looking like for GN&T

Last post was deleted 😆 What's the scoop with that office?

Just curious..... When you get laid off, does Verizon pay you for your banked time off or use it or lose it?

So if rumors are true, looks like Boulben’s org is being hit hard. Deservedly so. I counted at least 20 AVP’ers and above. Seriously? For an org that really drove us to a lot of the issues we’re having. Kept raising prices and a lot of questionable... — read more
