Does anyone else plan to volunteer for the next RIF? My manager said she firmly believes there will be another RIF after the Frontier merger and that it will impact our department. I have been unhappy in my role for the last year or so (largely due to changes that happened since the VSP). Can we volunteer for the next RIF? Or does that not carry any weight?

I volunteered for this one and didn’t get it. You can let it be known that you’re ready but it doesn’t mean you’ll be chosen.
@b5 I literally wrote I’m applying for jobs…
It depends on how it will be.but you can let your manager know. .if one spot is needed for next rip,.you are saving someone.

@az just leave
@ag We gonna even get bonuses?
Anyway, I've started applying for jobs and if I'm close to landing the next gig when rumors are abound I'll volunteer for RIF
If it makes you feel any better. There will be many who will post out / leave VZ after their bonuses are paid in March. There will always be people coming and going.
You can have a conversation with your manager and express your wishes. I think the company is only going to get worse going forward, and severance packages will likely become stinger. By volunteering as tribute, you can save the job of someone else who needs it.
