#layoffrumor

Has anyone heard anything about any layoffs? Seems pretty quiet right now but reading about a lot of companies laying off

I don’t understand this! Whats all this fuss about layoffs happening? There has been no such indication about layoffs. I’ve seen newly hired college grads in BH recently. They are already cutting costs by hiring them (affordable resource)instead of laying off experienced ones.
Its thanksgiving! People have families and don’t want to live in the state of constant fear.

Tldr: No layoffs hinted or happening in BH and let ppl live peacefully!

Has evening tours been notified yet, or do we need to wait till we start the shift?

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

Just looking for clarity as to how this will unfold. Also, I like my boss, he's a good dude. When will I know if he is safe?

I just logged in to end the waiting but I haven't received any and none of my coworkers received anything while I am pretty the team is impacted

did anyone in Texas(Irving) notification for layoff/survival?

Any word if CHS will be conducting Corporate layoffs this year or next year?

I got nothing so far. Should I take this as a sign I might make it? I don't see why they wouldn't send out invites for the entire team at once. Is anybody in a similar position?

Layoff is happening in WDC. Any thoughts in Seagate?

Need to set the alarm, don't want to miss the call and pi-s my boss or HR off, they may fire me.

Hard to believe it’s this tight lipped. It’s like we’re a boat heading to sea. On the horizon we see the big storm bubbling and everyone on the boat is just paddling straight in. Get ready for the waves I guess. Hopefully we actually learn something tomorrow. I find it difficult to believe there’s not one member of leadership that knows what’s going on.

Hey guys I report to Dean Brauer from what I understand it’s going to hit hard your immediate teams will be cut in half. So everyone your with today only half will be there next week good luck v teamers

Has anyone heard anything about the CISO org?

Don’t know if it’s an official “layoff” but people are disappearing left and right. Reorg in process, and some groups seem overdue. Production line ending now. Reply if you’ve heard of actual layoffs.

Has anyone heard about VCG Operations? Any talks of who is being riffed or any impacts to that department? Have they been notified? Are they being restructured?

I can’t imagine that team going untouched but what do I know.

I heard layoffs are coming for Dec 2nd - watch for a calendar appt titled “Business Update”!

VCG/Tech and Specialty
I checked my sups calendar, sm, and ad
My sup's day off is today 11/19
She along with the chain in command had a 15 min meeting today from 10-10:15a eastern.
I checked the director's and she did not have it on her schedule to attend.

This coincides with what others have been saying about 10am meetings.

I am trying to figure out if my boss in ( NJ office ) is safe. In meetings today they talking about the future for various initiatives, reviews we have next week etc. They are not great to work for so my life would be a lot more pleasant without having to report to them. I am thinking maybe they know they are safe...

Has anything been confirmed?

Anyone under Massimo know if that org got gutted?

Anyone hearing anything?

Are there any layoffs today? I have had counterparts from other banks ask if I was impacted by the US Bank layoffs today…
I have not heard anything about a layoff, so maybe it’s a rumor?

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?

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?

Heard about the big rif coming...
The company is sinking, and they are doing whatever they can to save the investors.

Keep in mind.

Your manager does not care as long as its not them
The company does not care, you are a number.
You will find something else, and be much happier.
The company is NOT what it once was, greed and horrible management along with the BS surrounding the whole COVID and WFH was the icing on the cake.
Hans ruined Erickson, did the same to VZ
Stores are useless....and a total waste of money.

If you were smart, you took advantage of the education allowance and got a degree or did training on their dime to enhance your knowledge to take it somewhere else.

good luck, you'll be fine

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?

In less than 48 hours, Squid game season 4 courtesy Dan Hatchet man!

...not sure if that means we are safe or they are expecting a lot off call offs.

I would think they would start with people on documented writeups first, but maybe if you aren't near a hub, that can hurt your chances?

Got a webex invite from my manager for tomorrow 10 am.

How many Verizon Corporate locations are in the US ? This will help scale the size of the layoff

Has anyone heard what will happen to the Payroll group?
