Has anyone done actual work these past two weeks?
I'm in corporate out of Basking Ridge. The place has been a ghost town. My boss and teammates have all been distant. I am seeing meetings cancelled left and right.
Serious question. When will the "new normal" start for those that make the first cut?
Health benefits
What happens to health benefits when we're laid off? Do we get any kind of coverage or do we get cut off immediately?
Direct manager making decisions on who gets laid off?
Curious to know if anyone’s heard any feedback on how they’re making these decisions. Will it be our direct manager deciding who gets cut?
Does anyone know anyone impacted yet?
Ime seeing a lot of what ifs and haven’t seen anyone confirm people being laid off. If you know someone can you confirm what the packages were? I’ve seen different roll out dates for different states and wanted to confirm if it’s true or if people are being laid off on the 20th of dec.
The Post RTO
Anyone see today’s nuke on The Post about RTO?
The guy just comes off like a j@ck @$$.
Updates on Channel
What are the plans for Channel ACD, I2B,D2D etc?? Any heads rolling??????
Mid Markets - what do we know?
Directors? Senior Directors? ADs? SAMs? CEs?
visas
Are visas being renewed for foreign workers on temporary assignment in the US?
Do they ask us to resign ? or will we be terminated
The former is better for job search
If you do get laid off, what are your plans? Besides searching for a new job
I’m going to …
- Exercise and eat better and take better care of my health.
- Study up on personal finance to figure out how I can retire early, so I never have to deal with this type of bullsh-t from an employer ever again.
- Organize and clean my house.
- Spend more time with people I love.
- Cook new recipes.
- Learn martial arts and challenge the Hatchet Man to a duel
I think I will enjoy having more free time on my hands!
Verizon STI Bonus Question
I've made decision to leave the company regardless of what happens with the layoff. I'll likely survive, but would gladly take the severance.
My question for today is: Does VZ still pay the full STI amount for 2024 if I resign in January 2026?
Where’s my Basking Ridge peeps at?!
Anyone from Basking Ridge location scared? I keep seeing Lake Mary and multiple other offices in this thread that may or may not be closed eventually or teams that are told to be WFH but haven’t seen much or any posts on NJ location. Any teams in NJ scared of what’s coming? Are we people in tax going to be affected?
Who writes my performance review?
My manager was let go.... does the new person that i report to who knows nothing about my work do this?
How can we share this website with coworkers???
I think it would be helpful if more of us participated here so we could all benefit from more information.
I see that new threads get 300+ views within a couple of hours, which is great, but I do not feel we have reached critical mass yet.
I would share this internally, but I am worried I might get in trouble if someone were to report me.
I have mentioned it verbally to my team, but that is only about 10 people.
I could post about it on Facebook using a random name, but I doubt that would actually reach anyone useful.
Any ideas or suggestions on how to spread the word safely and effectively?
What is the basic details of the package they offer??
2 weeks per year?
FMLA
If i am on FMLA, am i gonna be saved?

What does an IP rating mean?
Got an IP after a great performance year because I worked from home some Fridays last year. Manager never thought it was an issue and never said anything to me until I got a warning in late summer, then the IP rating overrode the EP she entered for me at year end. She was totally blindsided by the warning and the rating. Aside from RTO being a complete joke of a policy to begin with, nevermind that they kept managers in the dark about enforcement, what does this IP rating mean for my income?
I assume no bonus, no raise, no new shares? Will my current vested shares still pay out next March?
Talked to HR and Emp Relations and they just protect Abby's billions, neither could answer my simple questions, so need to ask here.

Received and invite for tomorrow then it disappeared. Came from the VP coms person. Am I dead or am I safe?

NJ WARN Notice doesn't have Verizon listed for Nov'25, Dec'25, or 2026
When does Verizon notify the New Jersey state regarding the number of people being laid-off and the date when they get laid off or the date they are off payroll? Currently, I don't see Verizon on the NJ WARN Notice for 2025 for Nov'25 or Dec'25 or 2026.
