Or if you know somebody who's affected, post their age, please. I want to see if my suspicions are correct.

I’m currently at work checking email and nothing from the ceo but I am in wireline fios customer service but I thought that email would be sent out to all of Verizon I guess not.

Had a pre scheduled PTO day, wondering if they’ll still call or wait until tomorrow. I’d like to get this cr-p over with.

Anyone get this when the logged in this morning. Of course makes me ultra paranoid to have seen a security patch reboot prompt as soon as I unlocked my computer

Those who has received Dan email are safe?

I think my chances are about 50/50 of being impacted today.

I started at the very bottom and worked my way up over 28 years. In that time, I’ve held—and mastered—multiple roles. These roles allowed me to learn how everything works. I’m one of the few people who truly understands how everything works end-to-end.

I’ve built many systems and processes here that only I fully understand.

So if today is the day I’m “promoted to customer,” I take comfort in knowing Verizon is fu---d. I won’t be here to take anyone's calls, explain how something works, or why it was designed a certain way. I won’t be handing out contacts or filling in gaps or giving out recommendations on solutions to complex issues.

And I also take comfort knowing I’m not alone in feeling this way. A lot of people know where the bodies are buried—and they won’t be helping either.

Good luck.

Or am I just hearing nonsense? Why would they have something against white collar back office?

are you surprised or not

You can almost smell it in the air!

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

Has anybody been notified so far today?

Can somebody please explain to me why are people getting laid off already? I thought this was supposed to be one major round starting on Thursday, and I keep seeing mentions of this or that already being laid off - and I'm not talking about managers here. What's going on?

Glad to see they clearly took the 7,000+ comments seriously. They did not address any of the massive concerns employees voiced, put here, and on Glassdoor. What a joke!

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?

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 invited to a call of any sorts for those times. There’s also no bridge # or meeting link sent to us yet. Just blocked off MNC from 8-9:30.

Not sure if that means we are safe or if he’s getting the boot.. I hope not. He’s one of the few good supervisors still around.

I can’t imagine they’d let all of us go. There wouldn’t be anyone to maintain the network.

Did any other areas get the same meetings assigned to them?

Are we done finally? Can I wake up happily assuming my job is safe?

It’s been a while we saw a big one and I am getting a sense it’s right around the corner. Anyone have more information?

GF can't seem to get GaN right. They started with IMEC some years back, then bought a version from Ratheon, then the past few years have licensed or bought other flavors of GaN from TSMC and others. Why is GF wasting so much money to get a version of GaN working? Did they lose all their technology device/process talent? Something seems broken!!!

Just heard the Verizon sign in front of a certain run down office is being remove . Justt bad timing ??

is on a chopping block. Whether that be your team or certain people from your team.
Around my office, some groups have been asked to wfh until Friday and for some is business as usual.

VZ “family” throwing each other under the bus — making arguments for why others should be cut while justifying their OWN existence. 🚢 🧊 Can’t you see we are ALL on a sinking ship? The VZ layoffs have only just begun ……. 🛟

I still can’t figure out why some Sr Directors are saying “I know nothing at all.. I’m waiting to hear too” and then other Sr Directors (and even ADs) know the names of those affected on their team. Why is the comms plan and information leaking so different this time?

My manager is giving me same copy pasted comments since past 5-6 quarter.

Why do we need to spend hours putting thoughts into how our work impacted our teams when the manager simply just adds one line and copy pastes same sh-t from previous quarters?

Is this normal?? What's an easy way to confront about this?

I have tried asking "I see some comments which overlapped previous quarter,
Would it be fair to say I'm not improving considering same commentary "

To which they blabber about something totally irrelevant to my performance

GNT was told to prepare for RIFs. So, this IS happening.

A lot of people seem to think we’re getting axed. I’m not so sure. Wanted to see if any R2B reps have any insight.

Seems lazy to just cut 15% across board and say AI will solve all Verizons woes. Lots of stupid decisions over last 10 years that has dragged us into the quagmire. No easy solutions and the old slash and burn technique will not really help. Seems the problem solving approach is gone and AI will solve all our ills. Again lazy and uninspired leadership.

@aj+1ka6kcsxq hit the nail on the head.

Am I alone in thinking something major is coming before the end of the year?

We had to find out from Reuters and the Wall Street Journal that 15,000 of us are losing our jobs this week. But from our own leadership team, we are getting radio silence. Instead, we have to come to this board in order to get any information. It’s tragic. Where is the communication?

Any insights as to what the future holds for R2B? Only a couple months into my tenure (Sr Mgr) and very concerned.

A leader with a supposed high-integrity image often maintains it only by removing the people who saw otherwise, notice which leader they were removed by , then look higher, you’ll see who is also in the brand games

Fiserv will come back from this. I believe Fiserv will declare bankruptcy and will be broken apart and sold off.

Anyone have any idea what's going to happen in GNT, specifically in the RF, System Performance, Equipment Engineering, Construction Engineering, Real Estate and Network Assurance groups? Dan says we must continue to have a good network but these teams are already stretched to the max.

IF YOU ARE NOT UNION YOU ARE AT RISK…. Get your resume ready and prepare for the worst. Hope it goes well for everyone.

If our manager was cut, does that put us at a higher risk of being laid off? I see people mentioning this but I have no idea what is true anymore.

does inside sales have anything to be worried about. It’s been crickets here and no one is saying anything!!

Let’s start a thread here…

Asking for sincere honest responses. What do you think your chances are that you, personally, will be laid off? I’m guessing mine are at least 70/30 I’ll be cut. That’s based on my organization, my age, my salary.

Was anyone above the individual contributor level affected? Manager / director / ED?
