I found this response from the post titled "R2 layoff chatter is fake news" from earlier today "@OP I was in Finance. Until they asked me to move to BR, then offered me the standard year buyout since I decided not to move to the armpit of the world... — read more

Verizon retiree healthcare costs 2-4 times what is available on open market. The 25% retiree wireless discount is far more expensive than T-MO’s 55 plans — or any other carrier. Unless you have pension from wayyyy back or part of the union, there is... — read more 

I hope some one from HR or Dan’y boy can read this, what does exactly AVP role is. Its a useless and pointless position. A Sr.Dir/Dir can report directly to a VP and and AD can go back to Sr.Manager. Sr. Manager ——- Director——-VP Simple and leaner... — read more 

For those RIF'd while on leave, did your separation date match your leave end-date, or were you cut sooner?

Anyone know the answer?? When you call HR they are useless. Apparently its a formula but no one knows anything. I’ve seriously had it with this Company. I will fight right be side my union brothers and sisters if theres no contract but I really need... — read more

Recently riffed and took severance. I recall seeing there was a “6 month cooling off period” in our severance details but I have logged into the severance portal and that information is gone. I cannot find anything regarding the details of the 6... — read more 

I was hoping to hear some info today on the negotiations about a possible extension. Does anyone know any info. Maybe a package for the union side?

We understand this is a challenging time

Vivek Gurumurthy or Sudharsan are next in line to give Dan a hug.

The current layoffs are continuing at the employee level, and there is a possibility that management-level layoffs may occur in the next round.

Why I feel so unnerve with Sampath’s leave, plus what Dan said at the earnings call :(

Witnessing layoffs at Verizon has been a masterclass in how to destroy morale. They decided to kick out the very people who bled for the company. Now, they have us all running for the exit. All I want is to get out and find a job where dedication... — read more

Spend 30 minutes on AI, but you "have 5 minutes to get through 8 things". You literally just acted like running out of time is a valid excuse to not share the "Dan Plan". What a joke.

If we hadn’t wasted so much time talking about AI, he could have actually covered the important points he ran out of time for. And another thing , why are people in here celebrating someone getting fired? Sampath! That says a lot about your... — read more 

LETS GOOO

Dan believes in AI so much he outsources the calls to Actually Indi*ns. This clown said he was against outsourcing yet sends them anyway. What gives?

AI this , Ai that!!! What’s the plan ?????

Why is he beating around the bush and wasting time?

What are your predictions or hopes that Dan will address?

Real talk: I don’t think Verizon is dropping another layoff bo-b. They already swung the axe HARD, 13,000+ gone late last year. That was the ugly, one-and-done purge to stop the bleeding and buy themselves breathing room. New CEO basically said... — read more 

What’s the difference between each role? Some people are good, but the many people are creating friction at each step… satisfying egos and insecurities.
