You can buy yourself an extra week if you are still on the fence.

Any news on rf? Any news on how they are going to change network?

For those still on the fence about taking the buyout option, Infosys was just the first sell off to happen and won't be the last. There's a reason several of these teams were not listed on the slides presented during the last webcast. HCL... — read more 

#GOLD post from @W1ARpq0-1non This is my opinion, if you think that your job is at risk because your projects have been cancelled or have little importance, your boss is not banging on your door lately, others in the organization are given new... — read more 

As a former employee of Verizon and being in the industry for 46 years I think it's easy to say that nothing will be the way it is today. I was laid off from Ameritech in 1993 after 23 years, Alltel bought out 360 and I was gone again, Lucent then... — read more 

I was laid off in 2014. Year's easier there was a push to get the union in. We were told lies by management, "If the union comes in you will lose your take-home vehicles and the bonuses will go away." Well not that it to late they understand that if... — read more 

Things are finally going to become much clearer...

So our VP just posted a podcast on vztube. In it she says that not everyone that opts in will get the package and that most that do get it won't be released until March rather than Dec. She also says that the reorg won't have much of an impact on... — read more 

Everyone is so stiff and seem to be stressed out The Business group video was much better Cliche overflow in both of them

They are trimming - it will pop very soon. Reconsider 1/2 your 401k is stock. Benefit like VP and above will. Also, shareholders are cared about more than employees - they will not miss a quarterly number for years... — read more 

Really exhausting watching all of my managers and supervisor stressing out over all of this. But it’s been a joke working in the union for the past 10 years. How do you think we feel. In all honesty I’ve been robbing this company blind for 10 years... — read more 

Interested in hearing feedback as to why the reorg aligned Public Sector with Connect verses general Enterprise ? Seems like a unique grouping.

This explains the layoffs to reduce headcount and it also explains why Verizon switched to Gmail for the work email server which is odd considering Verizon owns Yahoo. Just think about this if Google tried to buy Yahoo alone it would never get... — read more 

This doesn't make sense. Why would the company announce a potential sale of assets until all the dust settles from the VSP? Anyone else heard anything regarding this?

If you take the VSP does the payout hit this years or next years taxes?

Fios Consumer Marketing (Jeff Dietel's group) is supposed to move to BR. Does anyone know if that relocation plan is still active?

Store channel (9 years), on a leave of absence as of current, should I just put my 2 weeks in or should I stay on loa and wait for a rif? How long do you think the stores have? What area (if you work at a retail store)? Thanks (northeast area here)

Let's not kid ourselves. There will be future RIFs as a bi-product of all of the consolidation of business units. That won't happen on 1/1/19. It will take time to figure out who does what and how many of the remaining people they need to do it. This... — read more 

1 day to the deadline and still nor sure. I hvae 60 weeks but under 55 yrs old. Not sure what the future wilk be like at VZ vs outside. Plan on working 3-4 more years. Any thoughts?

Did you notice that most of the articles talking about Verizon reorganization barely mention layoffs? It's impossible that none of the journalists know we'll be seeing huge cuts as part of it, so why exactly is nobody writing about it? Are layoffs... — read more 

Had all hands with VP today. He said most teams were asked for 15-20% cut. If they don’t hit the percentage with VSP, they will fill the rest with layoff

All I see from these posts are speculations and more speculation. You all know nothing!!

It’s 11/7 and no breaking news. This confirms that as more people are now aware of this site, the accuracy of the information has been watered down just for views and responses.

Just starting a thread

Has anyone, in any part of Verizon, received additional info about the reorg or how it will directly impact them, since the Hans call on Monday?

There is so much speculation about how many people will be gone by the end of this reorganization, and it's all over the place. I've seen and heard people predict anywhere from 10 to more than 40 percent of employees being let go between the... — read more 

Is it 2 weeks per year up to six months, or is it totally self-funded with COBRA?

Is there any executive out there that has a little heart? Throw us something to help us make a life changing decision!!! This is almost worse than a RIF, we’re basically being asked to tap ourselves on the shoulder. We already know that big changes... — read more 

Does anyone believe we will receive any additional re-org information this week? Curious

Here’s one final warning from those in the know in BR, take the VSP. Winter is coming! Major RIFs in 1Q19 for those still in shrinking areas of the business. Severance will not match the VSP in any sense. Unemployment at record lows, so VSP is the... — read more 

How do you separate a business in 3 parts based on the customer type when the main product (the network) does not differentiate between the different types of customers? Who does what? Will teams have to be separated in 2 groups even though they're... — read more 

What the hell is a “Talent Hub”?

Has anyone thought what happens to the clients implementing a telecom solution and the resources to implement, bill, install, etc. when these are no longer there? What of clients who lose their account teams and have no one to call Jan. 1? I am sure... — read more 

I'm not sure if I find people who are convinced they are safe from this whole reorganization thing sad or amusing. Honestly, how can somebody witness what they have for the past several years when it comes to RIFs at Verizon and believe they are... — read more 

From the tax breaks. We got part in stock. I thought we got the rest in cash in January? Anyone?

It doesn’t take a scientist to conclude that Oath is failing on the market and that it’s more and more underperforming as time goes on. The basic premise that Oath should compete with Facebook and Google on the advertising market is now looking like... — read more 

Indirect and nationals will take up the slack. Get them resumes ready and I hope you're not the sole income provider for your household working retail. A rude awakening is coming for all of retail in the near near future. GLTA
