Anyone else tracking the dates on the Frontier approval? March feels... inevitable.

Long time lurker, first time posting. I know we're all recovering from the Nov cuts, but I’ve been bored and reading the actual filings for the Frontier deal, and something isn't adding up.

The Union Shield: I saw the draft decision from the California judge (CPUC) yesterday. It explicitly says Vz agreed to 'No Involuntary Layoffs' for California union folks for 4 years to get the deal passed.

The Money: If they need to cut $500M in 'synergies' but can't touch the fiber techs or union reps... doesn't that mean 100% of the cuts have to come from Management/Admin?

The Calendar: The DOJ deadline to close is Feb 13.
The Kicker: The Nov layoffs happened Nov 20. The 90-day WARN clock resets around Feb 19/20.

Am I crazy, or is the company legally set up to drop a massive VSP/RIF on management specifically in early March? It feels like they are waiting for the 90-day clock to clear so they can target the non-union side.

Anyone else hearing whispers about March?

I guess it pays off to pay for Union representation. Leadership gaslit management into the Union being the Devil, but those are the only employees who have been spared from the layoffs over the last 8 years.

@OP there will be more layoffs after the deal is done

@dw who cares. Everyone knew it was coming. And what week.They didn't hide it like in the past. You want a trophy. Great job, champ

I am thrilled for Frontier employees to join us as vteamers! They will be delighted by our world class culture and customer centric focus. Convergence of mobile and home gives me goosebumps just thinking of how happy our beloved customers will be! Everything we do is to make them happy and make the world a better place.

@b5 I was the first one to post the November 20 date specifically. Go back and look on this message board “Layoffs incoming on November 20”.

@av maybe in another 4 or 5 years. Its the tool for high earners/tender to leave. Even if its like 2-4k that take it. Every time it comes around most of that crowd is more then happy for it.

@OP: it is always the non-union employees who get the brunt of the RIFs. What in the he-l are you suggesting = anything else or anything different?

@ak most of the company knew weeks before this site. The new CEO also made it clear. Keep guessing

No involuntary layoff doesn’t include an EISP or whatever they may call it there. Hearing very strong rumor of an offer in the east they would probably get 1/4 or our organization to go voluntarily.

Dan isn't a fan of VSP so probably not an option

@aj I also posted on this site about the 11/20 layoffs. Guess how that turned out?

@a5 you didn't hear anything. Are you special. Keep guessing as its all this site can do

I did hear some chatter about more layoffs happening in March 2026. This company offers no job security at all!
