Look I’m not even mad anymore. just tired... Every week it’s another round of whispers about realignments and optimization, and we all know what that means. People disappear from the org chart, managers act like it’s business as usual... and everyone else pretends not to notice while secretly refreshing job boards.What’s wild is how leadership keeps calling this progress. They hold some all hands to talk about leaner operations like we’re supposed to clap for losing our coworkers. Then they tell us to stay positive and embrace the change. I’d love to, but it’s kinda hard to embrace being disposable.... and don’t even start with the we’re one team stuff. One team doesn’t keep cutting off its own legs. One team doesn’t keep asking people to train their replacements. You can call it efficiency all you want, but what it feels like is betrayal. I used to think Verizon was a place you could build a career. Now it feels like a place where you just wait your turn to be streamlined. Maybe the saddest part is how normal that’s starting to feel.
