So layoffs are all over the news and now HR’s scrambling, telling us to WFH like that’s gonna fix anything. Pretty sure the media’s already waiting for clips. If I straight‑up say I’m recording the meeting, is that still illegal ? And if I did record it, what kind of questions or reactions would make it blow up online?
Trying to figure out how to make this hit hard the same way it hit me.

Make sure to abide by state laws on whether or not you're a 2-party consent state when it comes to recording others.
Outside of that, it's just against Verizon's code or conduct to record without permission. Not like it matters at that point, though.
I don't think you have to tell anyone your recording. It just wouldnt be admissible evidence in a legal case, but if you are just doing a whistleblowing thing I don't think it matters.
@a8 it’s our entire group under AVP, not just my immediate team. Surely our entire group if approx 150 people are going untouched.
@a7 maybe you'll be lucky (if you consider staying after this lucky) and your team is not impacted.
We were not told to work from home (and my group def can work from home, we are hybrid). They have us coming to office tomorrow. Why!?
Cope brother
They are telling you to work from home to minimize the chaos they would expect in the office once news is delivered. It's also to allow those impacted a bit of dignity. Has nothing to do with HR scrambling. I don't know what recording your call would get you, but you best be careful not to jeopardize your severance.
what difference would it make ? Why even bother ? You want to go viral? For what ? It would change nothing now or going forwards
Depends on state law, 2 party state or 1 party state
Best to post to x or better yet livestream it as ut happens.
Please be careful with what you do because the last thing you do is endanger your severance.
