Mid-week off payroll so they don't have to pay us for the holiday? Are they really that petty.

Does anyone have any inside information on potential layoffs in VBG over the next month or two?

Why do they have to stay so vague? Why not give us the exact number?

We already had a culture of “every employee for himself” thanks to stack-ranking (based on dubious criteria) and other shenanigans. Adding the constant threat of layoffs isn’t going to make people more collaborative and more willing to share... — read more 

Leadership isn’t about staying quiet when things get hard. It’s about having difficult conversations especially when their employees are struggling. What’s disappointing is watching so many of them stay silent while the mental strain on employees... — read more 

If any VPs or EVP are in this form. Please please and please request Dan to do everything in one single go and stop these RIF. People's are mentally challenged everyday by listening to rumors and fake news. Be bold and if Dan requires customers to be... — read more 

If you are fired, please do the below analysis on this doc you get: Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA) If you are older than 40 (or 50?) years old, you should get a OWBPA document (it shows ages and job titles of the fired people). MAKE... — read more 

Bottom Line - Dan will get his 30%

Google says vz has 89,900 employees. The count of contractors is not available. Could contractors be included in the "total" global workforce count (as referenced in several new stories about the firings)? The number of fulltime employees is 89,900... — read more

Been in the works for some time now - Anyone care to spill details?

Seems that employees over 50 were the largest group impacted today. Experience means nothing, loyalty means nothing, dedication means nothing. With age comes experience and sadly with longevity comes a higher expense. What is needed is a class... — read more 

Just two years to go, yet every new round sends my stress through the roof. I made it through this one, but now I’m already wondering about the next. Living like this year after year is no way to treat employees.

Digital team was bracing for an impact .. hardly anyone impacted. It was surprising given how much Dan hates our digital experience. All 3 layers of directors are intact before they hit working level team.

I believe Verizon needs to continue building a stronger market-driven culture focused on performance, accountability, and long-term competitiveness. That means making difficult decisions when necessary, including reducing redundant positions and... — read more 

The article link posted here says a couple of hundred, but other comments here say up to 4,000. Wow! That’s quite a spread. I would think if it’s really in the thousands the company would have to mention it to the media?

Four people, all in their 50s and above. I'll be honest, I have no idea how we're supposed to continue without them, especially since we were stretched thin as it is.

Any folks experienced the process of being impacted while on vacation? How would you know?

Looks like it'll be a long day for some of us. Our team is so far not affected but we also didn't get an all clear, so I'm not sure if I should celebrate or if there's still a chance some of us will get notified. I really wish this whole process was... — read more 

How many people from Connect were impacted today?

I don’t get why there are so many trolls here. Why would someone in their right mind share their name, supervisor, or personal information just to prove whether something is real or not? Why risk jeopardizing their severance or employment situation... — read more 

I’ve heard 5000 and I’ve heard 10,000.

15% cuts happened in GTS today

Any VBG impacts? BGCO?

I know of three people in GNC that have been informed that they are impacted. It's real and it's happening today. I am in GNC, and not a bot or a troll. Been at VZ for 20+ years.

if you dont know what that means you are a troll or too young at VZ to know anything about RIFs

Believe it or not, for those that are impacted today, coming to this site and sharing the news is not a priority. They are going through an emotional roller coaster, need to inform their families, etc. so just because people aren’t posting here... — read more 

Believe it or not, it isn't happening today. Can’t you see they’re playing with you? They read these threads; they post here. To a sociopath, keeping you on edge is a game—and they love to win. Stop feeding them. It will happen when you least... — read more 

If you’re sharing real info, include specifics. Team, Department, Band, Title. Ideally two of those data points. Otherwise we’ll assume it’s false. Band 7, Cx design

Anybody?

One of the most difficult things about layoff days is hoping its one of your team members and not you. Some of us like the people on our team and wanting one of them to be impacted instead of yourself is a special kind of he-l. It feels selfish and... — read more 

Any word on if Case Mgmet will be impacted?

I saw tons of writing on the wall the past two weeks that made me think I'm going, but the post from someone saying they made the whole thing up has me second guessing myself now. If you're impacted, please let us know. And if you're trolling, this... — read more
