Message to Leadership
Senior Leaders, Your tenure has been defined by the distance created between the executive suite and the customer experience. The external environment—the shifting market, the competitive landscape, and the voice of the consumer—is moving at a... — read more

Who writes my performance review?
My manager was let go.... does the new person that i report to who knows nothing about my work do this?
Techs are included in the RIFS / layoffs
Was notified today that I had to submit 4 of my bottom guys. I was shocked because I thought they were protected. Turns out only the senior guys have a security or non layoff agreement. The union has been notified and have been given the list.
How can we share this website with coworkers???
I think it would be helpful if more of us participated here so we could all benefit from more information. I see that new threads get 300+ views within a couple of hours, which is great, but I do not feel we have reached critical mass yet. I would... — read more
Future vendor meets = safe?
My AD contacted me and He asked to schedule a meet with some vendors next week. Was this BAU and pretending nothing is going on or a sign of being safe?
FMLA
If i am on FMLA, am i gonna be saved?
Verizon is a hot mess
I am a new employee via contract and 8 months in my observation has been WTF since month 3, when I really got the lay of the land. Beyond the share price decline and lost market value, the organization lacks unity and accountability. There are way... — read more
Anyone know how affected the field will be?
LMs for I&M, CXM, CO techs, contract services, Analysts, Motor Vehicles? I know everyone is going to be affected, but curious if anyone “in the know” has a pulse on average # per AD/SD they have to lose? I’ve heard up to 2 or 3 per SD, including ADs... — read more
Reorgs?
Will reorgs be announced? If so does that mean that new org charts were already made in advance? Or is tomorrow strictly just layoffs
Tomorrow it’s finally over
One way or another we will finally all know tomorrow. That’s a relief in itself. Extremely surprised there’s nobody saying anything still, but tomorrow we ride! Good luck to all, and may what you wish for come to fruition.
AI
If you want an idea of how well of a job AI will do, look what it did to ACSS. It took an already terrible system and managed to make it worse. The loading/buffering is unbelievable. A parent AYS ticket has been open for 3 months with no resolution... — read more
Romans 8:28
Although we often can’t see it when it’s happening. But look back a few months or sometimes years down the road, and it’s obvious.
Got a test invite from the VP level admin
Received and invite for tomorrow then it disappeared. Came from the VP coms person. Am I dead or am I safe?
A concerned employee
Are we still expecting a strike in the east coast next summer ? I’m sure new CEO would want to settle unless he will be very strict with negotiations
Is anyone getting sleep tonight?
If so, how many pills and/or co-ktails are you taking to sleep? Lol
Will we get locked out of our computers right away?
If we get laid off?
What time does it normally start (EST)
Need to set the alarm, don't want to miss the call and pi-s my boss or HR off, they may fire me.
No more DEI. YAY
I know many will dislike this post, but I really do not care. I am glad Verizon is dropping all DEI initiatives and going back to merit-based practices. Good luck to everyone tomorrow. Even if we don't get a call tomorrow, I have no doubt more are on... — read more
15k Rifs
With all these layoffs happening tomorrow and early next year. Do we still expect for a strike to happen out in the east coast or will the new CEO settle ?

VZ CEO from 11/17/2025 In my opinion the union is done after watching this. So start maneuvering
How come old Verizon execs joined Frontier
a company that once was sold, got bankrupt and resurrected from the dead .... imagine all the cash these guys made/ will be making.... should we be suspicious ? Will Frontier also face a massive lay off initiative?
D-mbledore fans - Turn on the light
Don’t let darkness go all the way inside you. Keep some distance from it all. Don’t give it more real estate in your head than it deserves. Keep it little away! It’s all cyclical. Bad times come then they leave. Nothing stays forever. If you... — read more
I think this confirmed what most of us already knew
There is no such thing as a good and caring CEO. All of them see us as nothing else but numbers they can play around with any way they want. That's our sad reality, and no new CEO or anybody else at the top is going to change that.
Where is PayPal Boy
No company wide communications from Dan since he announced the layoffs 3 weeks ago… Do we think that he’ll do a webcast or something tomorrow? Or Friday? I’d love to see what he has to say about all this.
What's method for notification? Calls, email, webex? Also, Who is going to notify?
Haven't seen any posts around that. Are managers going to call? Any one can confirm if they got documents to share? Usually that happens at least a day before?
Not to be the bearer of bad news

You people down vote everything
Some people on here have shared some experiences and your reaction is to down vote it. I guess that makes you feel better? Burying your head in the sand? I am sorry, but Verizon is going to be a horrible company to work for in the near future. ... — read more
So nobody knows anything still?
