Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Can you smell the fear?

Seems to me that if you :

Work in Wireline you should be worried

Live nowhere near any of the hubs you should be worried

Are a band 6 with no staff you should be worried

Work in Connect you should be worried

Work in International you should be worried

Have no operational role you should be worried

Are not hitting your Sales target you should be worried

If AI can do 60% of your role you should be worried

So I guess there’s 2-3% of the company that can sleep soundly…

There’s literally hundreds of band 6s with no staff, its called individual contributors. You going to get rid of literally all of them?

We literally just discontinued the HUM connect product. It’s a sign that anything connect related will go.

With the integration of satellite moving in, wireline will also start to see a depletion. We sold off 80% of towers and most network teams just reach out to the fiber providers to get things fixed.

Most customer service issues can be solved by ai just reading bills and issuing credits. If the automated system can’t then it will route to a third party person. Retail is already seeing this with programs that are already in place.

Is this just your gut feeling, or are you hearing this from higher ups?
