#nocommunication

Anyone else received a meeting invite from Brenda Bermudez at 3PM EST? No context at all.

Rumors are buzzing all around the company. Unfortunately since leadership hasn’t communicated much people are making things up. I suggest you don’t spread rumors until we have facts in official communications.

Humana rescinded an offer and I'm trying to figure out why. Is there a hiring freeze or something going on?

Our manager has been saying we'd get two new team members for what feels like forever. It's been months and nothing. No new hires, no updates, no explanations. I don't know if there's an official hiring freeze or if the approvals just aren't coming through, but whatever the reason, we're drowning. We can't sustain this much longer and nobody seems to care.

any updates?

I heard if you get meets expectations this year you only get 50% of your bonus. Anyone else heard this? I asked my manager and they didn't know so I called HR and they said there is no info available to them and to wait and see.

Surely, Oracle knows where the next round of layoffs in September are going to be? Probably Cerner, maybe Sales, maybe OCI, other places, if I had to guess from my uninformed internal location. So, why is management letting 150k people just generally wonder about if they're going to be next, and give current employees some sort of heads up? It's ki-ling all internal workflows with letting everybody think that "they're next", when it doesn't have to be that way.

at least today they said mckinsie is determining our "new way of working". that is as effective as sending a one legged man to a butt kicking contest.

We know someone is reading this...I heard today "this is the last one this year" this is the 3rd time this year I have heard that. That is why you are not trusted. It is that simple. You don't tell us the truth over and over again. This is the last one this year....most dont believe you. Board Members. The execs are not trusted. No exec managers. I know why you tow the company line. You dont want to be next. Grow a pair and stop lying also.

Anyone heard back from their supervisor yet?

I have been to Two World Olympics, Three Goat Roping's and one Hippo Gigging and never seen anything like this.. Was told Channel was strong and NO LAYOFF's this year on Jan 1 (Not there 5 months). Then this.... SH had a call with the group and said this place has "Failed". Then he makes the decesion on what peolpe go. I knew this group was "Doomed" after this. Last in First Out.... ATT is a great company but some leaders? Where is Chow need her back...

Been a while since hearing anything about it - another buried initiative or is this still continuing?

Weeks ago, they sent out an email stating the results would be provided, but of course, nada to date.

This is the hallmark of a very dishonest, disorganized, non-transparent company.

This survey was originally distributed last fall? (it was so long ago I forget when it was), and now we’re almost into June and they still can’t get their act together.

Total disgrace!

Oh people are going to be surprised once the news from FT drop. If someone wants to share in detail please be my quest.

What, exactly, did they pay a consultant millions of dollars for? Let the incompetence continue

It really doesn't matter when the next round is going to happen. How many times have we already experienced layoffs being dropped on us without any communication or warning that they might happen? Leadership has proven to us many times over the past couple of years that they couldn't care less about their employees, and they've been treating us accordingly - as the first line of any cuts they might need at any given moment.

Most of my team was let go, but nobody knows whether other parts of the org were affected. More communication would be great. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyone with any insight about when Raleigh will be completely phased out? Leadership has been vague about it (next several years), but no real date as of yet.

New tech leader Dilbert look like dude [who loves diving] sacked him? No communication was made.

It seems to me the leadership is trying to have its cake and eat it. Stretch the remaining workforce as much as you can whilst expecting them to adopt AI, close multiple offices, remove any hope of career advancement unless you want to move 1000 miles, provide no clear strategy or plan and leave everyone on tenterhooks wondering if they’re the next one to be riffed. No empathy or support from senior leadership or HR. It’s a complete shambles and something major is going to go wrong very soon operationally. Verizon is not currently a coherent or fully functioning company. It’s crying out for some strong and clear leadership that adopt an understandable and logical communication plan

Careerminds research highlights widespread issues with how companies handle layoffs. Many employees first learn about job cuts through workplace gossip. Only a quarter of laid-off staff felt leadership was transparent about the reasons. Poor communication significantly damages trust among both departing and remaining employees. Half of remaining staff considered leaving their jobs due to these communication failures.

Seems all leaks have been sealed and no one has any insight into the future of their jobs or this pathetic company that profits off of human misery and disease/disease management. Interesting

Anyone expect an update tomorrow on the locations being closed? Really ready to get this over with and have the company just be honest with us.

It’s oddly very quiet. How is the business going?

Why are we wven asking how to comply and trying to plan how many hours? PAY ATTENTION!!!! It doesnt matter when they are inconsistent and change the rules on a whim without appropriate consistent documentation and communication. If none of us comply then are they gonna consistently fire all of us? Some of ya'll need to watch A Bug's Life. 😆 There is more of us then them. Get off your knees and take the boot off your necks. Clearly their tracking is off so until they put clear consistent guidance what are you complying with and why? Lets all call in sick or take PTO for a few days. Let it fail and watch how tables turn.

We’re here to show up, stay aligned, and support Verizon and Frontier priorities, and we will continue doing that while maintaining BAU responsibilities.

That said, the current operating model is becoming highly inefficient due to significant duplication of effort. In many cases, it feels like multiple groups are running parallel versions of the same call, covering the same topics, and producing the same outputs independently rather than consolidating into a single streamlined effort.

From our perspective, this creates unnecessary repetition and makes it difficult to understand why workstreams are not being centralized or aligned into a single execution path. It also results in situations where multiple teams are effectively doing the same work in parallel rather than building once and scaling across groups.

We are also seeing limited alignment between operating approaches. Frontier teams bring established, proven ways of working that are efficient and well understood internally, but there does not currently appear to be a consistent mechanism to evaluate, adopt, or standardize those approaches across the broader Verizon-facing effort.

At the same time, we are being pulled between BAU responsibilities and multiple overlapping Verizon meetings, often without visibility into prioritization or coordination across groups. This creates conflicting expectations and makes it difficult to balance delivery without clearer structure.

We want to be clear—we are engaged and willing to support, but the current structure feels like “too many cooks in the kitchen,” and it’s not clear how decisions are being streamlined or who is accountable for reducing duplication and aligning execution.

We would appreciate clearer direction on meeting structure, decision ownership, and how leadership plans to consolidate parallel workstreams so teams can focus on execution rather than repetition, along with clearer prioritization across BAU and Verizon-led initiatives.

Rolling layoffs, zero communication, blatant indifference. I have no idea who could deliver a "work hard" and "we're all in this together" load of cr-p with a straight face. But then again, they pick them specifically for such purposes.

Any truth to the rumor that Pennington is not closing just yet? No word on the rumored new building in PA and no communication from management on anything. Will everyone be expected to relocate to JC and NYC or will everyone just be let go? Will anyone get severance? When will any of this happen?

Management asks for feedback constantly. Surveys, meetings, suggestion boxes, you name it. And nothing ever happens. The same problems exist year after year and the same complaints get raised again and again. But nobody listens or does anything. It's always business as usual. Which just means nothing gets fixed.

Things are so messed up at Xerox right now that I’m constantly running into situations where no one can give me a clear answer to ANY question. You ask one person and they point you somewhere else, and it just keeps going in circles. I know decisions are being made somewhere, but no one knows where or how. So everything gets brought to a crawl as I have to guess who can give me a straight answer. Like I said, a mess.

Everything has been bad, from communication to execution to now expectations. If they wanted to get us mad and for morale to plummet, then job well done!

field & operations update.....
why does "field & operations update"keep...getting postponed
over& over again??

It’s really shocking how poorly these work changes are being handled. The lack of coordination, communication and planning is unbelievable. The entire leadership staff should be embarrassed.

Nobody's acknowledged the people we lost, and the workload is crushing. The manager isn't even trying. It's not just the volume, there are critical gaps. Even if we wanted to pick up the slack, there are some things we simply can't do.

Does anyone have any info regarding what they plan to do with those folks who are currently based in Pennington? Will all be forced to Jersey City or NYC? Will there be a new site in PA that is an option? Will some be let go when the site closes? What happens if your new assigned location is not a viable commutable option? I know that BNY doesn’t care about those impacted so they are in no rush to provide any info, but it would be great to have some details so people can plan their next move.

It feels like the people making decisions no longer have a clue what our work actually involves. We tell them what's broken and they just ignore it. They acknowledge our concerns and then do absolutely nothing about them. Why should I trust anything they say at this point?

Another week with almost no communication from leadership, just nonstop guessing and speculation about what’s coming next. I’m so tired of this. I’d honestly pay good money for leadership that respects its people enough to just tell the truth, even when it’s not what we want to hear.

I mean, it doesn’t make sense even from a leadership’s purely selfish perspective. Surely productivity has been suffering with all of us on edge all the time and completely demoralized?

No meeting on the calendar and no message from the bosses.

Another no news predicted RIF day!!!
