I’ve seen some previous posts on NJ WARN but no real clarification on whether VZ has filed/notified. Sounds like they have been able to skirt this in the past, but I assume not this time with significant layoffs happening in a 30 day period.
Real life
I know for a fact some layoffs have already happened. Why isn’t anyone coming on here and giving details?
The lists
Is it safe to assume the lists have been distributed and that the VPs are reviewing them?
Job postings
So, since around Dan's epic 3Q webcast (where he actually didn't even discuss 3Q), the only positions posted have been retail, and maybe just a couple random others. I realize there's a freeze and likely the reason, but I'm still surprised to see... — read more
PULSE... ANONYMOUS... JK LOL
The company culture is built on a foundation of distrust, particularly regarding leadership and feedback mechanisms. Pulse surveys are treated as a joke; the promise of anonymity isn't trusted, and employees see no positive change resulting from... — read more
manager's going out on dissability inorder not to be on the Riff list
VZ cannot put you on the list if your out on dissability..lol just some info
Customer facing = Safe
This is just my view. Customer facing roles = Safe Operational / Back office / Marketing = Not Mid-Level Reporting / Your job can easily be automated = Not Band 6 and above (5 to C-Wing) = Nope Not safe means up to 25-40% reduction. 16 more days... — read more
EVP & SVPs are going to be axed?
Someone talking about few key well known leaders are going to let go. Anyone knows more about it. Big guys names are in the talk. Share or if you hear anything about it.
Case Management / Customer Chamption Team
Anyone here anything on Case Management / Customer Champion Team? Will there be any RIFs for them?
Typical conversation with outsourced customer service or support.
Outsource Scammer: “I have a sale for you, they want everything.” Me: “Great, thank you.” Customer: “Hi, the previous representative told me I would receive $2,000 in credit and one year of free service.” There is NOTHING honest about them.
Year End Accomplishments
Anyone else unable to access the My Performance section of the HR portal to enter their year end comments?

Mid Markets getting the boot
Per internal docs it appears that the entire mid market channel (from VP down) will be eliminated due to poor business practices. SMB directors and their teams will be assuming mid market roles and territories. Retail store GMs will be dissolved and... — read more
Pulse experience?
Have heard of a crash in Pulse participation… anybody seen this?
When did leaders start acting like politicians?
I might not have liked all of Dan’s message but at least it was spoken plainly and honestly. What is really annoying and a little disturbing is that a lot of our leaders now seem to operate like politicians. They ignore anything negative or... — read more
Market Presidents given the boot
MPs were the first to go this week. Maybe this means no more markets??
Way too much management above 3rd level
And clueless management to boot!
Smoke and Mirrors
Big companies are laying off and repositioning themselves to run more like a start up. Why? Because everyone has AI FOMO! Everywhere you look billions are being invested in AI. The work force is getting trimmed before companies understand whether or... — read more
Is there talk of shutting down the Ravinia office in Atlanta?
I have this feeling I’m not long for my current position anymore if that happens. I work under John Blanchards org and we just had a layoff in August. I think I’m being paranoid but since Srini is taking over soon… I just don’t know. The market is... — read more

Schulman’s List

Closing NY and NJ HQ and moving to Texas?
Thoughts on this shocking move? If saving money is the long game, then make the move now! Sell the assets. Cancel the contracts. Exit these high tax states. Don’t offer relocation. Eliminate 50% of corporate staff at HQ. If you don’t face a customer... — read more
NON Performing WFH Employee's
The remote workers not performing should be the first to go! WFH doesn't equal watching Jude Judy and going to the mall or getting your hair done etc. Those acting like that did put themselves on this list while those that preferred to be in the... — read more

Is it better to stay or go?
Getting kinda scared by the figures some folks are quoting on here…if 20 or 30% of Verizon is leaving then what does that mean for those left behind? I think some employees will not be able to cope with that amount of change and a huge shift in... — read more

Any info on Verizon Connect?
Seeing lots post for greater VZ, wondering if there’s any rumors to those of us that survived the sale of INTL.
Value
50% reduction, combined with VCG operations across the board
Does anyone in here actually know anything?
I’ve been looking on this site for the past week and what I have gathered is nobody actually knows anything. Only thing I have seen is a lot of speculation. If you actually know something bring the proof. Also, does anybody think that maybe the... — read more

My middle managers day
My boss spends her entire workday talking. All day, she is “stakeholdering” with people, then comes to us to get all the actual information. After that, she passes that half-baked information to superiors behind our backs, making it look like it’s... — read more

I think my time here is up
My workload’s dropped off a cliff over the last few months, and while I can’t say for certain, it really feels like my manager’s been avoiding me. I’m almost sure my name’s on the list. Weirdly enough, that realization’s made things easier to handle... — read more
Imagine championing RTO and you still get laid off.
It’s like someone holding you hostage, making you denounce your religion to be spared, and then they still ki-l you. Don’t trust the enemies of what we know is the way forward, working from home. These are the same guys that show up at the office to... — read more

There's a LOT of stuff suddenly on pause, in MANY departments.

AI Story Line
How gullible is everyone. AI is not yet close to replacing all the job layoffs that everyone is talking about. AI is being used as a great propaganda line for companies to get rid of workers and lean down their work force. We are in a recession and... — read more
Smarter than Elon Musk?
Remember when Verizon’s leadership thought they were smarter than Elon by hiring a marketing executive from Twitter? Elon had fired her — and guess what? Verizon lost millions of dollars on a failed rebranding and logo.
