Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Want to apologize for saying "No Layoffs"

I owe you all an apology. Back when those whispers started flying around about big cuts hitting end of Mar, I told people flat-out there weren't going to be layoffs. I was trying to calm nerves, keep morale from tanking, because I genuinely didn't want to believe it . I was wrong. And I'm sorry for giving anyone false hope or making the shock hurt worse when the news landed.

The Frontier stuff closed in Jan, and yeah, the overlap redundancies are real. Then you have got the whole Opex transformation push and AI rolling in faster than anyone expected, quietly eating away at roles we thought were safe. It's not rumors anymore. it's happening peeps.

To everyone who's been let go already, or who's still waiting for the axe, or watching teammates pack up boxes, I'm gutted for you. This su-ks. Really su-ks. Wishing you nothing but the best moving forward: quick landings, decent severance if you got it, and doors opening somewhere that values what you bring. Seriously, good luck.

Who are you OP? It sounds like you think you have impact on something or other and that, in your mind, you're of great import.

@ad Nothing but more useless AI generated charts and dashboards by managers who should already know how to do stuff like that in their sleep. It's only creating ever more noise and tasks to be done by fewer staff members.

All too predictable by anyone with any sense.

What is this based on? And any specific groups worth mentioning? Not that it's beyond the realm of possibility but are we talking another newsworthy event?
