So are we all just going to nod along, or is somebody going to ask the obvious questions like, "What's the strategy again?" and "When exactly are we planning to factor human capital into it?"
I'm less than a year from being able to retire
But because things are the way there are now, I feel like I have ten years ahead of me. I just want to be done with this place.

I have never worked so hard for so little reward
The least they can do is make the last few standing feel appreciated for keeping the fort held down. They lay people off, they don’t replace. People retire, they don’t replace. Someone on disability? Oh well pick up the slack or you’re next. As I’m... — read more
Analyst 2
Guys any recommendation, how much pay can I expect for this role? Year of experience is about 4 +
Any inside info for R2B managers?
Does anyone have any details about what July will look like for R2Bs new role? It’s almost like they are turning us into bible salesmen and paying us about the same as one.
Start hiring less pay
Layoffs in Q1, hiring spree in Q2. Classic. • “They didn’t eliminate the work. They just eliminated the people.” • “New hires = lower salaries. That’s the real math here.”
No Layoff
Layoffs are slowing down. The focus may now shift toward recruitment, with hiring expected to increase from July.
Joe Russo?
Just saw this on LI, it's it true? What does this mean for GN&T?

I said I feel sorry for the illegals being taken advantage of, boss from DR replies. “What do I care as long as they are Hispanic”.
HR says it’s not reportable. I’m done with this racist enabling company.
Direct level Consolidation
When is it coming? It’s just suffocating to have 3 layers of directors over 5-6 individual contributors. They do not have much to do but to keep creating new sheets or presentations. Also wasting time on 1:1s , team meetings at each director level... — read more
July Layoff - Should I hold off on giving notice?
I've now heard from multiple people that the next layoff is planned for July 16th. Does anyone know what areas of the company are targeted? Is it more geared towards the retail stores? I am in FinOps and planning on submitting my two weeks notice... — read more
Layoff Severance Pay

VCG layoffs
Which teams are going to hit harder ?
Employee Class Action Suit?
Anyone else tired of it all? Anyone else devote 10+ years to this company, only to be used like toilet paper and door mat? Anyone else tired of the targeting, retaliation, extra work load, cut in pay, loss of benefits? Maybe we should join up and... — read more
Ai leadership panel mentioning layoffs
Did anyone else catch the call this morning talking about locations being closed (context seemed to apply to store and offices). They said they are creating ai gems to define profitability and determine if neighboring locations would absorb... — read more
Customer Champion / Case Mgmt
We are always told that we are the safest, but any chance Case would be impacted with RIFs/Layoff?
No communication since notice
Since I was notified that my last day is June 5th, I have not been contacted by anyone. My immediate supervisor has not been contacted by anyone. He has never been told by anyone that I have been laid off. I find this to be absolutely ludicrous and... — read more

Tried to improve coordination and it backfired
I ended up getting formal performance feedback not long after suggesting during a meeting that product planning would probably run smoother if a few departments worked together earlier in the process. A mistake I won't be making twice, that's for... — read more
Thank you being the best part of Verizon
If it’s any consolation, “thank you for being the best part of Verizon” was carelessly worn out like “love you’s” to your ex-wife. They got us all with it. They made corporate love to us (because it wasn’t consensual) while they took our innocence... — read more
Move on and leave the toxicity behind!
After about 15 years of experience in GN&T my sincere advice is to move on and leave the toxicity behind! Don’t waste your time analyzing the future of the company, the impact of Dan’s decisions, the impact of AI, or whatever. Who cares? It’s a... — read more
Global Solutions used 6 BILLION AI tokens since Claude Code was enabled

Rumors of a July RIF
I’ve been hearing rumors about a mid July RIF coming, but want to know if anyone has heard the same?
Stock Together is not the same thing as STI, correct?
From my understanding, STI is your yearly bonus. Stock Together is comprised of company stock which vest over a set period of time. Is this correct?
Has this been confirmed for VCG?

VCG mass layoffs
Heard a mass layoff is coming to VCG.. Anyone has any info ?
VBG & BT - any news?
does anyone know anything new?
Hans cried for BLM
Then he laid off 25k Call Center employees, many were black. AI is real but its being used as a tool to outsource.
What's the endgame?
I'm seriously asking. Is there even one? Layoffs have only managed to cut useful, productive people who were valuable to their teams and the company. I, for one, can't pick up the work left by people who were recently laid off, even if I wanted to... — read more
