Goodbye - layoff.com
I survived… but not sure how Vz can ever feel like “family” after so many face so much uncertainty right before the holidays. Unfortunately, we will meet again layoff.com, when the next round comes. This site had many trolls but it also provided... — read more

Severance and time in payroll
For NJ workers 90 days under payroll, u like other states that are only 30 days. With the possibility to still apply internally within the company or search for another source of income while under payroll. Though tempting to look within, it is a... — read more

New Job Outlook
Is ATT or T-Mobile hiring ?
Is Shankar out or that a fake news as well?
If all these people are still there then why Dan just created this drama ? Culture won’t change if these heavyweight people are going to sit on the top.

Verizon Never A Truly Great Company
@"the men and women who built this into a once great company." Seriously, Verizon was NEVER a "Great" company. They never invented any groundbreaking technologies nor created any new markets nor set any significant business or technology... — read more
Do you think Dan reads this board?
I’m wondering… How does he feel about his nickname? Dan the Hatchet Man? I wouldn’t be surprised if he actually likes it. How does it feel to cause such intense pain and misery to 13,000 individuals, multipled by 3 or 5 when you take into account... — read more

I made a mistake when I chose to join Verizon
This company is terrible. Would not recommend!
UNION PEOPLE DID NOTHING
they protect themselves , not the others
How to know any one got impacted
Don’t want to hurt them or show off I survived.
The change Verizon really needs is a new board of directors!
Terrible decisions from Lowell started this spiral, then they bring in Hans who made very poor decisions with Ericsson and big shocker history repeated itself at Verizon. I literally remember the day he was named as CEO, fellow co workers talking... — read more

Chris Flood taking over for Aparna? So stupid
We get rid of a DEI hire and put someone equally as worthless in the spot
Move on or jump ship
I have no experience in running a small company, let alone a big one. I can think of a strategy to fire employees to save money and show increased profits to raise share price. The current ceo with so much experience is coming up with the same... — read more
Layoff question..
Do we know the total layoff count as of yesterday? Was it 13k or with more to add to today’s count? Is it over?
Fate of VZI?
Seems no changes to VZI yesterday. What’s happening from that front? Anyone know Dan’s POV on outsourcing? I can tell you from my experience that the onshore GTS developers are far more productive and skilled, but you can get 4 offshore for the... — read more
One plus One = One
1 + 1 =1 With the recent reductions, the headcount will be replaced with Frontier workforce in the next three months. So the employee size of Vz will be very similar for the next year or two. Maybe, a few a Frontier’s leaders will become major... — read more
Joe Russo R.I.F
He's gone
Poor Execution
Good luck, Dan, trying to dazzle customers and grow the customer base—you can’t even take care of your internal customers! I still can’t access the severance portal, even after HR intervention. At this point, it’s laughable. Once again, Verizon fails... — read more
Are they selling of Vz International?
So Dan laid off 13,000 people yesterday, 2,000 short of the 15K total we've all been hearing about for the last few weeks. I'm hearing rumors from several sources that they plan to sell off Vz International (to BT) in April next year. Will the... — read more
VCG Leadership Changes
Only 9 Senior Leaders listed in the email sent out by VCG CEO…? Is the “significant organizational change” in the room with us? There was more than 9 RIF’ed on my 50 person team. What a scam this “new” leadership is
VCG and other dept Re-orgs
Feel sorry for people that were RIFed. Speaking of VCG as well as others, for the people still around, do we know when the re-orgs will take place and what they will look like?
