I can’t wait to be outta here. Good luck to those of you who are staying around.

After all, she hyped Verizon 3.0 a few months back, and has yet to deliver anything. Wouldn’t that have been a major part of her Goals and Objectives for the year. Come to think of it, wouldn’t it have been for all Senior management? Fire their... — read more 

Of the 11 or so people I know who clicked the button, 100% of them are out 9/13.

Not sure how they did this last VSP...

Just overheard a manager discussing individual volunteer hours being weighted as part of future RIF calculations.

VSP peeps, was a non-compete clause included?

Anyone get it ? Still waiting…

VSP = 3 weeks per year Typical RIF = 2 weeks per year For those not offered the VSP and RIFd in the last 4 months of this year, is the payout still 2 weeks per year?

Anyone else read Hans’ email and find that ominous? I know rifs are anticipated but this paints a dark picture. Leaving is very bittersweet but knowing that the work is just going to be piling on for those who stay make it a bit sweeter. Sending out... — read more 

Since they say the severance check comes a few weeks after last day worked, will those off in Dec get the payout in Jan ? Or will they rush it to get it in 2024 ?

I heard that the final number for VSP was about half of what they wanted to get so a RIF will be here before the end of the month. Anyone have any good info on this? Wouldn’t a large RIF have to be reported prior to it happening?

Just found out my date of 9/13. Super happy, but how much tax do they take out? Thank you in advance

Titles declared ask your union rep about the details. I'm outta here company turned bollywood sh-t show

My manager just made me aware of my release date of 9/13. I will get the official email tomorrow. Good luck to each of you that took the VSP, And good luck to each of you that are staying.

If Verizon cannot find any value for you, and they RIF you out, take the ESP and run. For me, it was close to 1.7 times the severance + 1.5 times the benefits. If they don't see value in my services, I will be glad to find somebody that will.

I have been working in Verizon from past five years but from past 12 months the work culture is very bad …Indian managers and directors making the company culture very bad . No work life balance making people to work more than 10hours especially VCG... — read more 

Back when the CEO and the majority of execs/upper management were Americans. VZ has been in a death spiral since 2018 when it was taken over by a Swedish meatball (fired from his prev CEO job) and Indian execs who only care about replacing American... — read more 

An example would be if one group under a VP or Senior Director that was offered the VSP and did not meet their goals, they would then RIF others in their work group that were not offered the VSP?

Is it true Verizon promised share holders they would reduce the work force in an attempt to bring up stock prices. If so does this include non management employees

Is it OK to use Vaction time up till the 9/13 date? (Assuming one has enough and doesn’t care about the payout for it) I didn’t see anything specifically addressing this in the 401 page document about VSP71

Question for Managers on here- will you be notified of VSP dates before your team gets the email on Wednesday?

Hi I wanted to leave on September not December, and from what I heard from this forum, HR and senior leadership will decide the dates. Is it better to reach out to HRBP that I am interested to leave early, does that make sense?

Has anyone heard of any EISP for New York/ New England areas .

Number of employees at Verizon 2007 - 2023. https://www.statista.com/statistics/257304/number-of-employees-at-verizon/ Numbers are trending down. It’s not a matter of “if” it’s a matter of “when”

Anyone hear anything on the final number and last work dates or will they still be finalizing it on Tuesday?

Verizon was once a great company. That has changed. Employees are expected to barely get by. The mindset of leadership is that every single person is replaceable and that they don’t bring any individual value. There are times you hear one of... — read more

“Ericsson rejected a report recently that said it was inflating sales by booking revenue before clients were invoiced. Shares have tanked as a result, and the proposed solution has been to slash up to 25,000 jobs.”

Can't wait till August 14th. Tired of getting treated like an afterthought, spoken to disrespectfully by management, not getting any gratitude or thank yous for all the hard work I put...it's mentally draining. So ready for this VSP.

I heard Chesapeake among them. Too many remote workers not willing to show up. Others on list as well. RIFs coming as well to meet 2024 reductions.

Current employees still have yet to respond to offers. Amazing.

I see too many posts here with people complaining and whining about Verizon doing layoffs and offering the VSP. To most companies you can be replaced tomorrow, so why are you all crying about being so loyal to a company and questioning how they can... — read more 

Has any field technicians (lineman, Spicer installation maintenance) received an enhanced retirement package. If what states, and has anyone heard if New York is going to get one?
