Can anyone reveal when the first call will be made and when to finish it ? It’s not a state secret.. you can say that much

Twas the night before RIF-mas, and all through the store, not a salesman was selling, not one through the door. The severance was printed by HR with care, in hopes that the shareholders soon would be there. The "V-Team" was nestled all stressed in... — read more 

I think my chances are about 50/50 of being impacted today. I started at the very bottom and worked my way up over 28 years. In that time, I’ve held—and mastered—multiple roles. These roles allowed me to learn how everything works. I’m one of the... — read more 

I think I'll just sleep through the entire weekend once this is over.

Or am I just hearing nonsense? Why would they have something against white collar back office?

People often ignore these or maybe are too proud or whatever, but these can be invaluable. They certainly were to me when I was laid off from my last job.

I’m sick

This is going to become a very popular site tomorrow with all the folks from Verizon posting.

I can already tell I will not sleep at all tonight, and with so many of us WFH tomorrow, the idea of getting through the day with a buzz sounds way more appealing than doing it stone sober. I know this is me trying to joke my way through the stress... — read more 

I feel for everyone going through the RIF right now. I was there, high performer for the company, bled for the company, and there I was dismissed. If they offer it, take the enhanced severance package. This package gives you 50% more but means... — read more 

I'm in corporate out of Basking Ridge. The place has been a ghost town. My boss and teammates have all been distant. I am seeing meetings cancelled left and right. Serious question. When will the "new normal" start for those that make the first cut?

I’ve pretty much accepted I’m probably getting canned today. No performance issues, just not the type to su-k up. If my direct leadership has any say in the cuts, I’m definitely on the list. Honestly, I just hope they actually cut the bloat for... — read more 

What happens to health benefits when we're laid off? Do we get any kind of coverage or do we get cut off immediately?

I was wondering if commission pay was included in the severance package. Preparing for the worst. Good luck to everyone God bless you.

We have families and kids that depend on us. Everyone’s all worried and it’s impossible to find a decent job in this economy. Damn it. They have no empathy. And all the available jobs su-k and are pay cuts.

Curious to know if anyone’s heard any feedback on how they’re making these decisions. Will it be our direct manager deciding who gets cut?

Our manager is making us come in, seems ruthless. I’d like to have the option of sobbing in the privacy of my own home. For the love of god, what is the obsession with being in the office. Give us our dignity during such a high stress time.

Will AI qualify as an external event is the question. If so, expect large surpluses in q1 or q2 in 2026.

Ime seeing a lot of what ifs and haven’t seen anyone confirm people being laid off. If you know someone can you confirm what the packages were? I’ve seen different roll out dates for different states and wanted to confirm if it’s true or if people... — read more 

I’ve worked in the retail side of the business for 8 years. I’ve seen the shift of customer service to overseas, the inflated quotas and the lack of communication between higher ups and store level management. The company has changed its direction... — read more

T'was the night before layoffs And all through the land Peons pondered thier futures All decided by Dan The C-suites had hung Thier bonus with care And planning vacations And travel by air Someone write the next verse....

Directors? Senior Directors? ADs? SAMs? CEs?

No comments necessary. Just upvote if true...

Like the title says, some people in network have been given word that their 3rd shift that's impacted will know tonight, and dayshift will be told tomorrow. Our group - not a whisper, besides what's in the news Band 7 in both organizations

AD told his team Monday the organization would have a 20% cut on Thursday. Said he didn’t know who, but told the team to be prepared for what is coming.

When are they leaving?

Reading all types of potential nonsense talking about its going to be one of the hardest hit in layoffs and pressure to run the back office function even leaner, etc.

Vestberg was CEO at VZ for 7 years. Coincidentally the same amount of years he was CEO at Ericsson. Two companies left in a wake of mismanagement. The difference? The VZ BoD had a resume to review. Despite his failures in Europe the VZ BoD made... — read more

The former is better for job search

I have an offer from a company and they're asking me to drop my papers and then forward the resignation mail to them for confirmation (my previous job asked me to do this as well) I initially thought I'd see if I'm getting laid off, since dropping... — read more

I've made decision to leave the company regardless of what happens with the layoff. I'll likely survive, but would gladly take the severance. My question for today is: Does VZ still pay the full STI amount for 2024 if I resign in January 2026?

I have lived through many VZ RIF's now and normaly you get some clues. This has been so tight lipped that we have no idea what is real or Memorex. And yes, I did just show my age...
