Now because Plano is going to close. They threw out a fig leaf. They want to keep flagship open..Taxpayers already bailed it out.

Hope the city council doesn't give more money to this debt ridden company . While legitimate things could occur...I know Nordstrom would never do such and I support them. Even if their stuff is tame. Bloomingdales is looking at this market as ripe besides panned store in Frisco.

Honest question:
Why is Nike now following trends and not setting them as they used to?

I see many of the completion shoe styles replicated by Nike designers across running and basketball. Apparel as well.

Let’s share actual DATA (no spamming) so it helps all of us!
Use the following template to report any company wide layoffs-
Office location-division- number of people- roles- onsite/remote/hybrid

No spamming pls🙏

Have any teams begun laying off contractors this week?

The new CEO literally came in and said there would be layoffs. He literally said around 15,000 would be laid off.

If you thought it wouldn’t have been you, you are living under a rock.

Read the comments. So many posts about how it’s heartless to do a mass layoff right before the holidays … and how this isn’t the right strategy

How can we pay bills when the entire top level executives are settled for life. Verizon had a bad culture. Fix it in tech work. No calls after 5 . I see people are crying and I knew they worked really really hard.

Just give a like so it’ll be viewed. Companies now know to take care of themselves.

VZ used to be a proud company... with a clear identity has turned into a hollow shell that's just bleeding subscribers while charging premium prices for sh---y service.

We're basically watching the Sprint playbook all over again - gradual decline, pieces of the business getting sold off, and a CEO who's more interested in appeasing Wall Street than actually fixing what's broken. Schullman sat on the board for 7 years as lead director while big H drove VZ company into the ground, and now he's suddenly the savior?

His track record speaks for itself -- fu---d Virgin Mobile, PayPal stock tanking 70% under his watch, should be expect different here??? sure, he'll turn us around this time.

And... hypocrisy of it all... We spent $50B on 5G spectrum that doesn't even provide decent coverage, bought fu---d piece of junk Frontier for $20B cause apparently we need fiber after Lowell ki-led our FiOS buildout years ago (we could've had 25 million fiber subs by now) and somhow the solution is cutting 13K jobs??? And increasing exec pay for this gem of a strategy????

All this is happenin while T-Mobile is eating our lunch because they actually invest in customer experience instead of just slashing costs.

The writing's on the wall this restructuring is just sh---y code for a slow death spiral with quarterly RIFs becoming the new normal (there is a thread on this).

Mark my words, we're looking at another 5% cuts per quarter with jobs shipped offshore while leadership pats themselves on the back.

Everyone has a lot to say on here, this is your opportunity to try to force GM to address it. Yes they convert every question to a softball version but if enough people are asking the same questions they’ll have to at least speak to it.

Submit questions in the Slido for the global town hall with GM on Dec 2. You can also upvote other people’s questions.

Nasrin laid off a bunch of cyber sec workers in a Group Webex this morning. Way to keep it classy.

OMG- I’m about to go insane. Why is our system so slow?! This is ridiculously unproductive. What is wrong with her outlook? Why does it take 13 years to set up/open/send an invite? This has been going on for years and it’s so unacceptable at this point. I’m not understanding why the company can’t get this fixed.

Lost our Director, Area Manager and Supervisor today... Not a good day at Verizon.

Which one of you brought down the VPN!?

Anyone hear anything about VCG positions. Care- Case Management- Social Media- E.R.T or Pact?

numero uno, today, again.

probably the biggest business news of the day.

it's a sad throne that we occupy right now

Does this mean we are safe or we are cooked?

WTA

Just remember the Pulse Survey is not Anonymous and will be used against you!

Any word on North Carolina employees and what departments are getting hit?

Is the GRE group safe?

Or are they planning multiple rounds?
I am interested in what people think as I know what the execs will say.

Anybody got info on best buy

We do layoffs every holiday season.
You will be laid off eventually.
I'd estimate half of you will be laid off by the summer

The way this was handled is a disgrace, especially for a "communications" company. Verizon has been losing customers by the hundreds for months now and their solution is to cut Operations. Some markets are down to a few guys for entire states. Way to put the customer first, Verizon. Bravo.

Any chance we’ll get a new CEO for Christmas???

Two failing and dying tech companies trying to make it together in a pathetic partnership with the magic word - "Quantum".

(The IBM shares are not yet back to the 300 dollar mark - LOL )

No news from the NRB side, assuming it’s safe now?

Interesting they mentioned the possibility of promotions in January, but nothing about merit increases… unless I missed that?

And that's supposed to be the future. There really isn't any rhyme or reason to this thing.

Not burnt but nuked, crazy stuff.

It will be a shell of its former self. Brilliant strategy, wireless and broadband, the 2 most commoditized products in the industry, and supposedly a transport provider with the shittiest and smallest footprint fiber network there is.

Old glass doesn't cut it these days.

Good luck to all!

Getting people who have given years to this company on group calls to tell them they are now unemployed is inhumane

My boss, my old boss, and my buddy who is a manager all got whacked this morning. There's blood in the streets. Never seen anything like this.

I can't remember of anything worse, but I haven't been here that long.

Did anyone from business fraud in NC heard anything? So far it’s been quiet.

Is there a point that we can be sure we are safe if we haven't heard anything? 11am? 12pm? 3pm?

Hi everyone.

Current TSYS employee here. I am wondering if FIS rolls over your unused vacation days to the following year. What's the policy around it? Because currently in GPN, we have to use it in the same year or lose it.

I guess they are truly looking after the employees being laid off. That is why I am moving all my 6 lines to T-Mobile. Based on my initial calculations it will come out less than what I am paying with the employee discount. Let that sink in :)
