I just want you all to know that you're in my thoughts and prayers. I have several friends who still work for the company and they're all stressed. This is tough for everyone, especially with it being the holiday season. Hope everyone can lean on... — read more 

Any one get cut?

Anyone in the Vec channel affected? CE's? BDM's? Directors in VEC?

Just remember the Pulse Survey is not Anonymous and will be used against you!

Any word on North Carolina employees and what departments are getting hit?

Is the GRE group safe?

Or are they planning multiple rounds? I am interested in what people think as I know what the execs will say.

Anybody got info on best buy

I'm RIFd, and I'm actually pretty happy about it. I've been here a long time and it was time. I'm grateful for the many years I've been employed. However, it isn't the same company it used to be. For those of you who are surprised and upset, my... — read more 

It looks to me like they're almost positioning Verizon to be sold. I have seen these sorts of layoffs (no rhyme or reason and across EVERY GROUP) before and it has always been before a company goes up for sale. I think there would be anti-trust... — read more 

Both NY and NJ have 90 requirements for WARN notices. How is Verizon justifying some NYers staying on until 12/19 while NJers stay on until 2/19?

Analyst in BR, entire team laid off under VCG higgens group this morning Rip

This is sad for me working for almost 8 years just got laid off

Any one knows whats the last date for Texas & Florida employees? I heard for NJ it’s 02/20 (3 months) due to WARN act.

The way this was handled is a disgrace, especially for a "communications" company. Verizon has been losing customers by the hundreds for months now and their solution is to cut Operations. Some markets are down to a few guys for entire states. Way to... — read more 

If anyone from New York Metro is affected, please post here.

I want to milk this to the maximum. I earned it after 12 years here.

Is there any telegram chat link to discuss effected employees?

No news from the NRB side, assuming it’s safe now?

And that's supposed to be the future. There really isn't any rhyme or reason to this thing.

For new folks here, there is a large "ACTIVE" button right above the first thread... You can use it to see what posts had recent replies. That's it, that's my post. Anyhow, I hope this helps someone. Good luck all.... Reposted from: September... — read more 

VBG Sales Rep who are top performers bringing in millions are gone!

Drop in a short line with info which groups got affected. Let's consolidate things. Bookmark it. DO NOT MENTION INDIVIUAL NAMES.

I don't get how they think customer losses will turn around when the workforce is shrinking by 13,000 people, because the math just doesn't line up when fewer hands are expected to fix more problems. It's one of those decisions that looks good on a... — read more 

Just got off the phone. They said all part time positions have been terminated.

Today, after 11 years with Verizon, I learned that my position—R2B Wisconsin—was eliminated as part of the 13,000 roles impacted across the company. It’s a strange thing to watch a decade of your life shift in a single morning. But even in the... — read more 

in which groups of employees could band together to amplify their voice for better advocacy and self-preservation.

B8 Engineer. Thought I had a future at this company, but I guess not. It was fun while it lasted. Peace out.

Safe- VCG- 7 band just a plebeian Was hoping for a package, recruiters were hungry this week. Maybe next time. Do I keep my external interviews on for next week? Getting paid to leave wasn’t a bad fantasy. Better than leaving for free.

Has anyone heard anything about the Leadership Development Programs being axed. There was a Reddit post that said they were, but haven’t heard anything about it from anyone else.

I’m a goner after 11 yrs (probably)! Nice knowing yall.

Not burnt but nuked, crazy stuff. It will be a shell of its former self. Brilliant strategy, wireless and broadband, the 2 most commoditized products in the industry, and supposedly a transport provider with the shittiest and smallest footprint... — read more 

Getting people who have given years to this company on group calls to tell them they are now unemployed is inhumane

My boss, my old boss, and my buddy who is a manager all got whacked this morning. There's blood in the streets. Never seen anything like this.

I can't remember of anything worse, but I haven't been here that long.

What about HR? Did they escape again? How about IT? Anyone left to RIF there or all already outsourced?

My VPN just went down and can’t connect. Is it just glitch or they just brought down my access. I am scared now!!!

Welp, there you go. He survived, but there's only 2 left out of 10. How can they possibly do that amount of work? So we know that they're just being kept around for knowledge transfer and then he will be gone in Feb/Mar when the next round hits. ... — read more
