With Verizon’s acquisition of Frontier moving toward completion, industry analysts expect a first wave of layoffs in March–April 2026. Estimates suggest roughly 4,500–9,000 Verizon employees could be affected, mostly in corporate, administrative, and overlapping network operations roles, while frontline technicians are likely to be spared initially due to regulatory broadband obligations. Some of these reductions may come through voluntary buyouts or early retirements, but the merger will still represent one of the largest workforce adjustments in recent Verizon history.

The software company is laying off about 10% of its global workforce following its $2.5 billion acquisition by Advent. The cuts in Israel will be relatively modest, around 5%, while layoffs in India and the US will reach about 10% of employees.
