Rumors suggest Verizon will announce layoffs and store closures around November 20, though details remain unconfirmed.
The company reportedly plans to shut down less-profitable stores and cut staff across remaining locations, while expanding AI automation to fill the gaps.
It’s unclear if other big changes will be announced around this time, though it’s possible that there’s more to this coming shift than just layoffs.

The angry union cucks are working overtime to down vote every post that isn't a union crybaby post. FOH union terds.
Imagine the beans that will be spilled (in an article like this) after December.
What does this have to do with wireline?
If I suspect I'm going to soon face the shameful dishonor of losing my humble employment, I plan to open my office window and jump.

Data centers are #1 to be farmed out. Customer facing is safe till kiosk improvements are perfected Q226
Other cheaper phone providers are cutting costs. Easier to switch and keep your number. Cable cutting is a bigger issue with no appreciable content with too many commercials. Only internet providing by a few is clinging on for now
you have to be a fu--ing id--t if you don’t think this is what the company needs.
Leadership has been hanging onto headcount for years to protect their a-s/rep. Band 5s ($300k/yr) have been handed out like candy the last few years to kids with no leadership abilities (VCG Markets), but because they can run a SQL query. HR noisemakers dreamed up an BS age gap, and now you are wondering why expenses are so high. So the solution is wax all 6,7,8s, and leave the 5s to do the work. Haha.. good luck
It is not rumors anymore. He said they will be layoffs explicitly lol. Names have been shared with the leaders
So you’re sharing an article on this site that is based on the rumors on this site?
Wow, great find. We hadn't heard about it every 10 min for the past 2 weeks.
Thanks for the insight
News to me.
