I just thought it funny that TheLayoff's blurb on VZ hasn't been updated in 13yrs, and boy have the numbers changed since then.
Work load increasing
Do anyone feels like the load is increasing day by day. More tasks been included
Verizon giving SMB positions to indirect retailers?
I’ve seen most indirect retailers are hiring for newly created small business account managers. Does Verizon have a plan to layoff some of their VBG employees? I’ve heard that Verizon is making the retailers hire that position. Anyone hear anything... — read more
Retail June 2026 Quota
out of touch or what !?!? how is the quota so much this month!
Verizon’s flagship stores on the chopping
Verizon to close more stores. Even flagship high performance corporate stores are not safe. I have direct knowledge! Keep your head down and jump to another role, plan for severance, plan for indirect takeover and interview opportunities, and/or look... — read more
Continuelayoff
A full year of continuous layoffs is something rarely seen at this scale. Many companies underestimated the value of experienced employees and overestimated AI’s ability to replace them. The biggest mistake is believing technology alone can replace... — read more
The layoff is biased towards the man
The layoff is removing post with good information about Verizon and its employees. I wonder if Verizon corporate is paying them.
Dan’s goal isn’t to usher in a workplace utopia!
Dan’s goal isn’t to usher in a workplace utopia so let’s stop philosophizing about how AI should be used in theory. It’s just not going to happen! Remember it’s the good old cut throat Verizon company culture we’re talking about here.
Verizon Business net loss 1,000,000 subscribers 2026
I am dreading going back to work. Verizon Business su-ks a-s. They are fleecing R2B because they couldn’t manage other areas of the company better. They are paying us peanuts in Florida. No increase in wages and 3 times the workload. They increased... — read more
More building closures?
I heard there was more phases after the first one. Any truth to this and what buildings?
Need a 2 year stock run before Elon dominates!
The new CEO needs a good run with rifs, net adds, and FWA. When starlink kicks in, all wireless carriers will lose MARKET share.
AI-Driven Layoffs: A Costly CEO Mistake
Laying off skilled employees just because of AI may become one of the biggest mistakes made by many CEOs. AI is a tool, not a complete replacement for human expertise. Companies that remove experienced workers too quickly risk losing knowledge... — read more
Human Is better than AI lay off is more employees not a solution
AI is making many mistakes, especially in testing and validation. In many organizations, employees are becoming overly dependent on AI and are gradually losing fundamental problem-solving skills. AI is a tool, not a complete solution. Without strong... — read more
How many going to drop resignation
Till the next stock cycle, How many going to drop?
Rehire
Many companies rushed to replace employees with AI, but the reality is that advanced AI tools like Claude and others can become expensive at scale and still require human oversight. It wouldn't be surprising if organizations start correcting course... — read more
Let the front line employees pick the next rounds of layoffs.
Give the keys to the people who know exactly where the useless management is. Most management is just getting in the way; completely useless. When my Dir or Sr Dir are on vaca, productivity soars! They have zero self awareness when they hold 3 hour... — read more
Seems higher cost (aka older) works are being targeted across MANY companies these past several months.
https://www.thelayoff.com/h/institutionalknowledge --- You can pull comments that are tagged with whatever hashtag you find. The last line of each post lists the company the post is under. You will see A LOT of large company names under the... — read more
Great post on LinkedIn
It is incredibly exhausting to watch the Verizon Corporate playbook unfold this way. The FCC's approval of Verizon’s $1 billion acquisition of Array Digital Infrastructure’s spectrum licenses highlights a frustrating reality in the telecom... — read more
Google, Harlem Globetrotters, dog training, and the fundamental problem with AI (why garbage out will be the norm for a while)
To make the most effective use of AI, you pretty much have to be an expert in the domain you are working so you can write effective prompts AND AI must have enough relevant information in order to provide quality output. There is a lot of info in... — read more
Verizon cancelled employee/retiree discounts?
Effective 1/1/2026, the management Concession Telephone Service will be frozen and only retirees currently participating will be allowed to receive concessions. In addition, HealthSmart Benefit Solutions will no longer administer the Concession... — read more

Hey SP, real estate, Ops, and RF folks in CARTN, how is work these days? I ask here anonymously
because openly talking about the sh-t show I am experiencing to anyone here puts my job at risk. Communication between the groups is not as good as it was before Nov 2025. Project progress has slowed, keeping up with changes in direction is... — read more
AI is rather expensive
Cracks are starting to appear in the AI will save us so much money narrative. https://www.businessinsider.com/google-ai-cost-tokens-gemini-flash-openai-anthropic-gemini-search-2026-5
Union Eisp rumors anyone hear anything substantive
Lots of rumors for months .Anyone hear about anything for associates to leave .We heard so many different things form nothing to a triple Eisp offered to everyone that wants it .Anyone who has real info on the inside
Some of you folks are such pushovers
If a manager ever told me I needed to work unpaid overtime and sacrifice my life outside of work, I'd start job hunting the same day.
AI Unlocked!
As we spent the last decade offshoring and laying off our vteam family, I was energized and excited to learn how AI unlocked is how we scale our most important investment - our people! This is such impactful work. Because when the Vteam thrives... — read more
VZI inbox filled with goodbyes
Had seen the golden era of Verizon US, EU and India completely collapsed. In last few weeks many of my VZI folks. With whom I worked closely left the org. Same thing I observed in different domains so many good byes emails.
Thanks, but no thanks
All of the silly meetings to check in with people, but it’s 30 minutes and 19 of it is spent on telling us about the career you haf (good for you, but we’ve all had the same thing and it doesn’t matter we’re talking about now but that doesn’t matter... — read more
Dan need to ask responsibility of AD/ Director and Sr Directors
Dan should get a write up from ADs / Directors and Sr. Directors about what’s their roles and responsibilities. What’s their output other than creating sheets and presentations? Before bringing AI, get rid of redundant managers who are not doing... — read more
So we fire lots of people, we use ai for everything, and I’m doing 3 times the work I did 2 years ago. Why is vz stock barely moving since..
….mid March. Seriously, Dan be like ‘AI efficiency” and ‘we must tighten our belt and layoff’ and we’re still sh---y. Pay me Danny boy. You made a sh-t deal with the unions but have always paid us. All that moolah you got saved should be coming back... — read more
Mid-year Request from AVP
How concerned would you be about RIF of your role, if your team received a request from your AVP for individual mid-year accomplishments to be sent to them in a doc, 2-3 weeks before the official Mid-Year Accomplishments submission portal is open? To... — read more

When do we think the next big layoff is going to be? So many reorgs happening rn
Anyone else tired of “managers” taking all the credit
Not even a single manager in this company seems to work on anything other than “stakeholder management” and preparing presentations for leadership. Meanwhile, the individual contributors who actually get the work done are excluded, discarded, and... — read more
NMC Outsourcing Jobs to India
The NMC is currently sending jobs to India and forcing NMC employees to train them. No surprise that VZW is making its own employees train their replacements. The field and regions are going to love Habibi calling in for an issue and not being able... — read more
The lack of quality people leaders is to be expected
You have to understand that leadership rolls at Verizon are often essentially glorified IC positions. It’s a remnant of all the mergers and acquisitions that formed Verizon. There is not enough pay growth in actual IC positions here. There are not... — read more
