WBG Layoffs
Is anyone hearing of layoffs in WBG?
Fake News
Why do so many people get worked into a frenzy by visiting this site? There is not going to be a wide scale layoff on 11/16. There will be normal restructuring and org changes that result in some eliminated positions, but not the massive rifs as... — read more
November 2017 Layoff Log Check-in
Hey all. There's a lot of fragmented posts on here that have zero to do with actual layoffs. As such, I thought it would be a good idea to have a specific thread devoted to anything credible that we know. On the Wireless side, in the past during the... — read more
Will system performance be laid off
Anyone know whether system performance will be laid off or moved to the field.
I was escorted out
When I got Rif'd last year after being brought to the managers office at 8am he handed me a RIF packet and letter saying my services were no longer required. He followed me to my 4x6 corporate cube with a box and watched me gather my personal items... — read more
Wasting $ on sh-- like OATH

Call Center Rifs?
Anyword yet on call center closings and/or layoffs?
Save money and get rid of call center supervisors!
Can someone please tell me what the call center supervisors do and why do we need so many of them? They never take escalations, they never do anything!
Riff
All of the management people who are going to get rif’d on Thursday you should all go on strike. Oh I forgot you are not in the union. Just remember you decided to wear the tie. This is just an expression from the 80s. Just remember when you were... — read more
So Lowell wants to create an expensive OTT service that's just like cable, but more expensive....
Meanwhile all of the top OTT services are low cost. Sling.... with 2M subs, is the only one that has live programming. But don't worry, whatever Verizon does will be as good as Go90... — read more
indirect
First off is this real or is this just people making stuff up. Also if it is, is indirect involved?
Indirect?
Everything just seems off... anything happening? Calls, notices?
Will solution Specialist be part of the cut
If so how many and why?
Documentation
I know for a FACT that your employees document what’s going on in the retail stores, they actually do a much better job of documentation than your so called coaching. In my location alone, I know of 3 people who document illegal and unethical... — read more
Curious
From what I've read, managers will lay off employees first thing in the morning. When will you know you are safe? Is there a usual time? I also read that managers and directors are getting laid off... so will managers be told after they lay people... — read more
Use Your Remaining Time Wisely
Later this week, 1or 2 of every ten of your coworkers will receive notice that they’re getting RIF’d. Please make sure you have all of your sensitive documents backed up as you may have little warning when your time comes. Also this is the time... — read more

Question regarding holiday pay
Wireless has been in a no overtime policy for a few months. Next week is thanksgiving and Black Friday. Those are both paid holidays. Our entire market is scheduling front line reps only 32 hours that day to avoid paying out overtime due to the... — read more
I might just go indirect!!! They are making more than us anyway!!
Cellular sales of Knoxville I believe. They are the largest indirect chain in the country. 450 locations. They have top reps doing 70-100k
I'm hoping that the next CEO understands that ...
A) There is no wireless without wireline. B) You shouldn't put all your eggs in the wireless basket. The stock has done nothing the whole time this CEO has been here. The masses are begging for that big fat dumb pipe into their home so they can have... — read more
Dont give up hope.
When GO90 launches it will save us. Keep the faith!
New thread......where are you going to work after this??
What company are you going to work for? Where are the best opening?
Employees Don’t Care Because Verizon Does Not Care
Verizon has lost the support of their front line employees. The majority of employees don’t care if they lose there jobs, many wait to be laid off or fired, plenty welcome it. Once you have employees who don’t care about losing their job, there is... — read more

RIFs in Retail?
Lots of talk, obviously, about RIFs "across the board." Anyone know if/how retail might be affected?

Future of Retail
Just for the record here as we seem to have a back an forth on the future of retail at VZ all the time... Verizon won’t be getting rid of retail anytime soon. This year alone the have invested hundreds of millions of dollars on things FOR retail... — read more

SMB, Inventory, Indirect Wireless Layoffs
Lots of rumors. Please post when you get your calendar invite for “meeting”.
An observation
I've been on this site for a few years already and I notice every time the isht is about to hit the fan with massive layoffs we see an increase of union VS non union posts on here. I submit to you that the majority of these might be shill posts meant... — read more
Why corporations are in existence
Companies used to care about their customers. Companies used to care about their employees. Companies are in business to make profits for their stock holders. So Verizon and any other large corporation are in business to sell stock. Verizon is not in... — read more
Unionize unionize North central cell techs!!!!!!!!!
I have never worked for a company where the techs are saying they hope they get the severance.. Wake up VZW people are unhappy and they don't care anymore... Moral is in the dumper!!!!!!!
Quotas are crazy and yet there’s no traffic
No iPhone X’s in stock and no real demand for a $1000 phone, everyone basically sticking with what they have. No good switcher promos to entice consumers to come to Verizon. No ones making any money like we were earlier this year. Feels like VZW is... — read more
