Did you guys get your last paycheck for the week of 14th December? I thought it will be paid this week but I dont see it under work history.
Where will Verizon be?
Just make your best guess/bet. Where do you see Verizon 5-10 years from now?
My team is a textbook example of botched layoffs
Almost all the strong performers are gone, and the useless su-k-ups are still here. Our old manager still reigns supreme and remains the worst I’ve ever had the misfortune to work under. They couldn’t have messed this up more if they had tried.
Dan the Hatchet Man
Let me get this straight, Dan is Mr. AI, sits on multiple AI company boards, can clearly see in the the future so much that he slashes 13k jobs because AGI is 10 months away. But he only does email? Wait Mr. AI only does email a century old... — read more
Severance Portal Help
I can no longer access the Severance Portal from my personal computer following my last day worked (it worked prior to 12/19). It also won’t let me reset my password. I sent an email to the address I located with no response as of yet. We’re... — read more
Questions for those who've been RIFed before
From Verizon or anywhere else. What happens if you get a job right away, can you work at another place and still get your severance? On the opposite end of the spectrum, if the severance you got runs out before you are able to find another job, are... — read more
Severance document sign help
I am trying to sign and it says invalid agreement id. How do i go about it? I thought we had 45 days from last day on payroll.
Hey Mr. Schulman, what you doing about the VZ stock price, nothing much as of yet, for now? Ouch, business as usual!
Hey Mr. Schulman, what you doing about the VZ stock price, clearly nothing much for now? More upside to come?? Or else is it business as usual, ouch!

Got a stock vesting notification on Fidelity app
Logged into Netbenefits today and saw the notice below. “Your stock plan shares and/ or cash have vested”.
Verizon and the Union will negotiate layoffs for represented members to supports retiree healthcare.
Direction Anyone?
Anyone receiving ANY direction from their leaders since 11/20? Our organization has changed and our responsibilities are supposed to change but it's been over 30 days and nobody has provided an ounce of direction.
Q4 '25 Earnings
Looking forward to the earnings call. Can we reach 600k customers loss in a year? Blows my mind that failed leadership is not held accountable. Maybe we can have another Kevin Hart commercial where VZ leadership laughs at the competition who are... — read more
RTO is an antiquated strategy
RTO is an antiquated strategy based on how the company was in 2010 not 2025. Our roles have changed as have the people, and their locations, that we all interact with. There will be no measure of success because it’s based on a belief in... — read more
Did CX Execs keep their job?
With Dan acknowledging our customer service is horrible, did customer experience execs (Ken lain, Suzanne Norton) keep their job or were they impacted with the RIF?
I’m having a great time because I was laid off
I thought I would fall off a cliff when it happened, but instead I’ve never felt so unburdened. It wasn’t just the relief after all that anticipation, but also realizing how much I actually hated my job and how completely I had lost perspective on... — read more
Why only an Extension?
Why is the union negotiating for an extension? Why not get a new contract. They have to fix retiree Healthcare. Then the union should try to get everyone a pension or at very least a bump in the match in 401K plans.
Avoid the Smoke and Mirrors
Hans used 5G to try and distract us from reality. Dan is using AI. The long term plan is not dictated by either of these technologies and while the changes and headcount reduction are part of a plan, we will not know what that plan is until it... — read more

Merry Christmas
Don’t expect a new job opening until April or later. No be one is hiring.
Merry Christmas trolls!
My gift to the trolls who are allegedly still on the payroll and who have super important jobs with retention bonuses in the hundreds of thousands but who decide to spend their time posting negative comments on this board is a dose of cold hard... — read more
Merry Christmas to all...
...of my former co workers and fellow ex-empkoyees. Except for the current and former executives and board members. May you all rot in the he-l your soulless carcasses deserve.
Just tell us when
I don’t care about executive drama or corporate talking points anymore. All I want to know is when the next round hits, because planning for survival is the only priority left.
Happy Holidays
I wish we could all spend at least a little relaxed time with family, but anxiety seems to overshadow everything these days. I’m trying hard to switch off for a couple of days. Try to do the same, for the sake of your mental well-being.
CONTRACT
Quit your whining! Late 1st, 2nd quarter 2026 VZ will be hiring back employees layed off through the various contract firms. CEO clearing the books…..not the network! Mark my words! They know good employees will come back running for higher paid... — read more
Can Verizon be saved?
The fusion of all positive energy were gone. It’s already in the mid downfall. Game over is nearing or is it just spawning? One thing I see, no diamond in Verizon. I ‘ll sit back and watch.
Will the company get bought out? Saw this posted on LinkedIn by a financial advisor
This has all of the signs of getting primed to find a buyer. Shed thousands upon thousands of highly compensated employees with 20+ years of tenure. No rhyme or reason to the ones chosen other than they are too costly to the bottom line. Not looking... — read more
It doesn’t feel like Christmas
I should be excited about the holiday, but I can't stop worrying. Knowing more layoffs are coming, knowing they could announce them any day now… It's hard to feel any festive spirit when you're waiting for that kind of news. This whole situation just... — read more

Vacation time
Didn’t get to submit it before the deadline. Can I just contact HR to get it paid out? I know it may come later but still want to be sure I get all what is owed to me.
Last pay check - Severance Payout ???
Are we suppose to get a final pay check for the last month we worked for Nov 20- Dec 20 and then our severance 3 weeks later (End of January) ?
I was cut, and yet they still expect me to work hard
It boggles the mind that anyone would expect me to do anything other than twiddle my thumbs until my last day in the office. What are they going to do? Lay me off? LOL.
Dans PayPal-Honey Conspiracy?
