Everything hinges on quarterly performance. If Q4 results disappoint, we could see another major round of cuts, especially since last year's Q4 was exceptional and Dan needs to show he's delivering results. Q1 has historically been Verizon's weakest... — read more

I know many people in CX team that are good for nothing. There are multiple teams in that group that have not delivered a single feature in the entire year. They are always confrontation if you ask them. Love to finger point on everyone under the... — read more 

If you plan on applying for unemployment make sure you research the timelines. Verizon will ask you to sign your severance ASAP. They will not advise on what's best for you here. You will have a window in which to sign your severance. For us it was... — read more 

It's an hones question. I am in IT (2 years with VZ) and I see issues we have on the tech side, I do not think our competitors are better though? What do you see as the main issue?

When a leader says they plan to make aggressive changes, please believe them. This round of layoffs made that crystal clear. One of the biggest shocks for many wasn’t just the separation itself it was the realization that tenure and strong... — read more 

You know what I think the real problem is? The amount of leaders who are career managers. By this I mean they’ve never been a tech, engineer, cs rep, sales rep etc. they lead teams not understanding what they do, not understanding the product or what... — read more 

I work for a reseller in New England and work with an amazing team out of the Tulsa office. Does anyone know if the Tulsa VPS Credit and Collections team was affected?

Was this part of any of today’s announcements or is it still about to happen?

Is it safe to assume that if your store hasn’t been closed your safe?

It was the silence and uncertainty that was ki-ling me. Waiting for the hatchet to fall. Created so much intense anxiety. Especially since EVERYONE and their mother knew that the layoffs were coming. Yes, I’m out of a job. It’s not what I wanted... — read more 

Let me leave you with a thought today. We’re being told that in September, the economy added 116,000 jobs. Great. Cool headline. But I want every single person who got cut today or thought you might to remember something: This is the largest round... — read more 

Anyone still waiting on severance package email? I haven't received any email yet from HR.

I am fortunate NJ provides protection that requires VZ to keep me on the payroll a bit longer. Would it make sense to increase our 401(k) contributions for the almost two months in 2026 we get paid in NJ so we get more of the VZ 6% match? Or am I... — read more 

I was informed my position was eliminated today. I was told by my supervisor that I don't have to do any work (including transitioning any work to other teams) or charge any time for previously scheduled PTO. Is that correct?

Anyone know?

Anyone at VCG CSO impacted. I left last year, it's been good. There are jobs for VZ people, you guys have skills. Good luck

Hang in there, life after VZ has been a breath of fresh air. Wanted, valued, respected, empowered, heard…… all things missing until I started on this new path. Good luck and take care of yourselves. 🤗🫂😗

Already was running the place with duct tape and crazy glue. I'm sure this will "delight the customer!" /s

AT&T has been giving their employees 14 days notice.

Anyone else here wondering how we’re going to cover all these big gaps we took with the amount of people that left ? Peers in SP were already busy and losing 4 people is just going to add more uncertainty. Those who stayed , get ready to work for the... — read more 

He ran sprint / Ericcson to the ground and did the same with Verizon and now 13k employees paid the price. How ironic , files are about to be released and Hans steps down. He definitely went to island.

OK, that nastiness is over. When's the next round of vacation picks, and can we get softer TP?

So did he quit because he didn’t want to layoff a fifth of the company? 😅

Impact in Ashburn? What groups?

Hans can fu-k up and he gets a nice bonus. In comes Dan, lies with a sh---y PR statement. Communication company with sh-t communication, gets rid of productive workers with great track records, but the bosses fu-k it up.

Was laid off as Verizon rep inside Best Buy. I replied to the message earlier to confirm, but I’ve had no communication since. How do I access to see my severance. Thank you!

Anyone here from the temple terrace office affected?

I was on Maternity Leave and STD and it was determined that my performance was the reason I had been affected. Is this even legal? I thought that is protected by FMLA? Has anyone else who was on a LOA affected, too?

Can’t see anything ahead but a gradual decline with bits of the business sold off over the next few years Verizon, a once proud company has lost its identity…and soul
