Looks like another major layoff is on its way. This one is probably going to happen on Aug 14th and is expected to be a major one. Mostly it’s going to impact IT it seems

By politicians to address layoffs and limiting h1b visas or suspending those for at least a year or more.

There were several posts about the rumors of SMgr, AD, D & SD. Are they still on the target lists for the 2026-2027 RIFs?

I saw this on LinkedIn. I doubt the COs have sufficient space and power to compete with traditional data centers but it’s interesting... — read more 

It's not exactly a startup since it's been around for a while, but I'm still a bit uncertain about its future. Would you take the risk?

I do the bare minimum, and I get treated exactly the same as people who go above and beyond and have practically traded their lives for work. Why would I leave? Where else am I going to find a deal like that? And before you all come at me with hate... — read more 

Get out while you can

Just a thought… but Dan made a specific comment about 88% of the company is “using” AI, and we should encourage the other 12% blah blah….. Anyone else thinking that metric will be used against us for the next round of layoffs? Checking to see how... — read more 

With last week's layoffs, how is the morale of the interns and ldp? I heard they had to sit through speeches by chris flood on leadership and culture already....

I was off my buddy try to say his manager mentioned that a EISP was being announced.Anyone hear any real info that was new

Decreasing bureaucracy would make sense if the people left had basic knowledge of systems. As the staff has been critically cut simple repair jobs take days instead of hours. AI cannot replace hands. We should have executed a paced transition plan to... — read more 

I was curious about why the message from Verizon sounded so different from the Wall Street Journal. I asked Google to explain the differences. "Verizon's official corporate communications emphasize positive operational highlights like subscriber... — read more 

Comical how execs reposting today’s earnings — see Dan, “I’m a company man” please don’t fire me I knew all along you were great. Oh, I’m also an AI expert! Lol

While Hans was busy leasing expensive real estate in nyc and posting instagram photos of his sad run time, Dan is boosting the stock price to new levels! He is going to turn VZ into the new x/ twitter!

AT&T and TMO are also up. Look at the history of these telecom stocks. They go up when the other equities go down due to market risks increasing (wars, rising oil, etc.). Grandma clutches her pearls tighter and moves her money to utilities. She'll... — read more 

Of course, there will still be the Starlink stock pumpers on here who think we are all flat earthers. Looks like someone coached Dan about how Starlink CANNOT take away from the terrestrial networks in a very substantial way. Physics! Per Dan... — read more 

Can anyone in the know (VBG I guess?) comment on what Dan said about data centers and selling fiber today? Is this a viable business?

Dan talked about eliminating bureaucracy and said communication below Band 5 isn’t flowing effectively. The reality is that nothing will change unless the organization is truly flattened. My organization just went through a massive reorg, and I... — read more 

Ex-Verizon here. Seeing all these RIFs even after I left still hurts. And each time, I see people that I used to work with put on the open to work banner on LinkedIn. I initially joined Verizon as part of an early in career development program right... — read more 

Sorry, not sorry.

How many times will I need to hear his sp-t?

This guy is so full of it. Now he’s saying he’s going to transform central offices to data centers he’s full of it and no one believes him. Stock will go back down next week

The board extended the old man to December of 2028 Verizon is sc--wed

Foe this group, one thing for sure Dan will continue to do what is “wowking”. These messages is what he lives for, not you. https://www.verizon.com/about/news/verizon-delivers-record-2q26-results

Dan and his evil cronies fired you to buy back $1b worth of shares. Just evil

Verizon needs to skip Hans/DEI 2.0 and announce Verizon 3.0. Verizon 3.0 is going back Verizon 1.0 and motivate/reward performance on results and execution. Call Denny Strygal/Ivan. It's impossible to execute with current Board and C-Suite... — read more 

Does VZ allow retirement-eligible employees to decline a rebadge so they can be treated as if it were an involuntary separation and retire effectively, preserving all the retirement benefits? Hopefully someone here has first hand knowledge.

As per WSJ, revenue is down and profit falls Positive that we added new subscribers. I think they are not very profitable subscribers. https://www.wsj.com/business/earnings/verizon-revenue-ticks-down-profit-falls-on-joint-venture-costs-01726dbf

I asked our newest hire why she joined despite so much bad press surrounding Verizon and cuts. She said the recruiter was really persuasive and she needed a job fast. Not even a month in, she's already updating her LinkedIn. I'd like to laugh, but... — read more 

They clearly don’t know how to incentivize people. We demand top performers, pay the mediocre salaries, and turn them into the laziest versions of themselves. If the compensation team had competent people, this place would have been Amazon. Instead... — read more 

The laziest bro and the highest performer make the same and have the same career progression. This is a radical thought, Incentivize people to not su-k

I heard there was a BT team that got the old VPs/SVPs of base management and CS fired by pointing out how terrible their decisions were. How does one join this team?

So glad i sold ton of shares when it hit $50 for a few minutes !

An email was sent out last night that went to a lot of B2B Managers are to target reps who “lean” on them to much. This is a grossly obvious tactic to weed out people who ask for help a lot. We also find it odd that the manager that sent it out is... — read more 

Are you staying @VZ because you believe in the company or because you don't have another option?

I’ve seen high performers get RIFed…if they’ve been on their ADs sh-t list. Does that imply AD had a say in the job loss? Serious feedback please no trolling

Anyone heard about IT rebadging? It seems it is coming soon.
