Leadership Better Get Cut Too!

I’ve pretty much accepted I’m probably getting canned today. No performance issues, just not the type to su-k up. If my direct leadership has any say in the cuts, I’m definitely on the list.

Honestly, I just hope they actually cut the bloat for once. Leaders are making way more than the rest of us, and one cut at their level could save a bunch of our salaries. We’re the ones doing all the work. Have you seen how many Band 5 and 6 leaders have zero direct reports on Inside Verizon lately? It’s ridiculous! How the he-l did we end up back here after 2015?

@a8 I'll believe it when I see it.

Why does VZ need managers, senior managers, associate directors, directors, and senior directors?

Flattening middle management is typically a major goal of these layoffs.

@a4 OP here. I am hybrid in NJ. My direct leader does not sit in my office and the entire org was instructed to stay home this whole week.

From what I read here if you are impacted you will most likely get a call on your personal phone by 10am? HR doesn't do it. Your direct leader will. If that person is impacted as well it may be a different leader above them making the call.

How are they going to let people know they have been laid-off? By email, or in person? If in person, than you probably already got an invite from your manager (and HR), I would think.

If my Senior Director loses his job losing mine would be worth it!
