I am 62 and I'd take the money and run. The math works for me and I just need healthcare. I've been working since I was 19, I am so done.

I am thinking that Band 8 would be safe due to our low pay, would you agree?

I took VSP last year. It was a good decision. If you are given an opportunity, do your math and it may work well for you as well. I know this is not for everyone as people are in different states of career or personal growth, but if you are thinking... — read more 

Someone said Joe is gone? Is this true? Seems highly unlikely to me, he seems like one of the only good ones at that level.

With the SVP changes today, both in the business & finance…. I can’t help but to ask myself, how are they deciding who is being let go? These shifts imply that the new leaders do not know their org structure…. Who is good/ who isn’t etc. All we can... — read more 

I truly have sympathy for you guys. I remember having the same experiences. I moved to Hidden Ridge five years ago and that level of stress surrounding RIF time is a distant memory for me now. Sure, I don't want to be laid off but I just don't... — read more

Verizon to focus on Verizon brands

What an s..t show this site is today.

Maybe people need to understand that one team could get hit at 30% and another at 15%. That doesn't make peoples posts a lie. It just means when they say 30% it may not be for everyone. Most Verizon employees have zero understanding of what goes on... — read more 

Remember this gem? https://finance.yahoo.com/video/verizon-ceo-reveals-tracks-mood-212918484.html

A bit more than 15% cuts across the board. Every team is affected. The total will be just shy of 20K. They will have another round in Q3 2026. The stock will go up. Our ability to grow revenue will go down. This is just my gut feeling, I am not... — read more

If some layoffs still happen, I just hope it won’t be as massive as everyone’s been expecting. I need this job. We all do. At least until things get better. Then we can decide to hate it, change it, or move on. Right now, it’s a total sh-tshow out... — read more

Nancy Clark is gone from Value but got a promotion. So 11/20 may be right but what part of it will be wrong? I’m thinking it may not be a bloodbath.

Someone is spreading fake news here. Nancy just got new meaty role. Stop spreading rumors if you do not know

Its interesting to see how differently things operate throughout the company. I see multiple people say that there is bloat. People say we need to cut the fat and get rid of people who don't do anything. Meanwhile my team has been short staffed and... — read more 

So I suppose we’ll know something a week from tomorrow, 11/20. We’ll be looking out for the email or mgr “can you step into my office?”

So many people changed their minds and want out. It would make everything so much easer.

We're supposed to have layoffs on November 20, and yet every day somebody posts about this or that group being affected by cuts. Are people lying or is there really an ongoing pre-layoff happening, and if it is, what's its point?

Union locals declared surplus, and offering EISP through Nov 25 2025 ZERO non-union layoffs have occurred but are anticipated Nov 20 2025 Frontier acquisition anticipated 1Q26 GNT re-org What else ? And / Or make corrections here.

Something is up. A few of my peers told me they stopped getting their usual invites for calls and meetings. Seems like the process may have already “unofficially” started.

On the floor at BR.. seeing many VPs ,Sr Dr are having meetings that are not work related. Sr Dr are meeting one by one with this VP.. most likely lists are getting generated.

What band is an AD? Director? Sr Director?
