Why are we not seeing any WARN notifications? Is Verizon working on another VSP?
Move on....its not worth it
After 28 years, Dec 31 2024 was it for me. Cannot tell you how relieved I do not have to deal with the ups and downs of VZ. The constant every year layoffs, and BS of the senior managers, directors who protect their buddies, and their "click"... — read more
D-mb Hans is Gone
I still remember when Hans was first announced as CEO. I did some research and saw that his tenure at Ericsson ended in turmoil, which immediately raised red flags for me. My instincts told me he might bring similar issues to Verizon—and after eight... — read more
What happened to Hans?
I just just saw Vz got a new CEO. Does that mean layoffs expected?

Layoffs
Anybody in Finance worried? They have automated so many reports it feels like they are preparing to RIF us.

New CEO Dan the man

What's your dream job?
If you could say bye bye to Verizon, where would you go? What would you do?
No self-assessment for those who are getting laid off
Why would Verizon waste time and resources asking employees to add their accomplishments if they’re getting rid of them? The portal is opening around November 24th. Whoever got the email might be safe — but who knows
Schulman
Really sheds a light on how unserious our leadership team has been for the past 5+ years, it's too bad he's going to fire my a-s because this is the first time I've actually heard someone at that level make any sense whatsoever
Can we stop already with the AI bullsh-t?
What’s really happening is offshoring and cutting headcount. Once we reach the next “lean” stage and the workload triples, we’ll all discover that no AI actually took on any of the work. At least not in the sense of replacing anyone. I’ve yet to see... — read more
Infosys and HCL Tech
Is it a coincidence that as soon as Verizon partnered with these two Indian companies everything started getting much worse? Or am I being unfair?
Email Regarding Self Assessment
Has anyone received an email asking to put self assessment for year end 10/29 night arround 11:40pm and then got recalled 10/30? Is it a hint for something?
Hans
I'm so thankful Hans is gone. That dude was an embarrassment and ran VZ even further into the gutter. His DEI nonsense was not appreciated. He cried for George Floyd during an internal company webcast and THEN gave $1,000,000 to Al Sharpton's... — read more
Leaner? where?
I'd love to know how the heck we get any leaner out here in the CO's. Can't get the most basic stuff needed for years, and covering an unrealistically large geographical area ALONE when on OT. My suggestion is to start the "leaner" process with the... — read more
Well…Dan has been honest but what about the others?
Finally some acknowledgment of what most employees already knew…things aren’t great and they need to change But…where’s the acknowledgment from the other leaders as they rapidly pivot to protect their own positions I can’t help but feel that some... — read more
Verizon Employees ("H-1B") Immigration Status??

Is PiP culture coming to Verizon?
Post Dan's speech today, one gets the distinct impression that some version of Amazon's PiP culture coming to VZ. Maybe a 6% URA number to keep everyone on their toes?
“Simpler, Leaner, Scrappier”
“This will be a new way of life for us.” CEO To those who pay the price for this new model, I am truly sorry. Don’t give more to this God forsaken company than it is going to give back to you. Sometimes you have to stop at ask, is what you are... — read more
How about RTO after his “speech”
After that disastrous, blunt, outlook-vision, do we need to bother going in ? Why bother? Who cares about RTO
140
Working at In-House agency 140 in NYC. Been hearing layoff rumors for years now. Have a feel it this will be it.
Who puts in the hit?
Who creates the list who goes? Lvl 7. So is it my boss, or director, or sr Dr?
A.I. Results for who to lay off (copy and paste)
As Dan said " you can find the answers on ChatGPT" Excellent and very relevant question — especially given where telecoms like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile are right now: mature networks, flattening subscriber growth, heavy debt loads, and Wall... — read more
In for one he-l of a ride?
Dan Schulman sure put himself out there. Verizon must cut Billions out of the company and streamline the way we do things to fund a complete and total makeover of the company. He states that layoffs will be part of the coming change. He then states... — read more

Layoffs
I’m pretty anxious about the upcoming layoffs. Especially if they are before the new year. My wife and I are expecting a baby soon and are heavily reliant on our insurance currently. Insert panic here.
I’m getting desperate here
I’ve been trying to find another job for months, but I rarely come across a posting that’s even real, let alone get an interview. All this talk about upcoming layoffs is making me extremely anxious. I’m terrified of losing my job and being out of... — read more
Leaner!!!!
I hope he Axes VPs and high ups, those money su-king actors. They are the axis of all evil. They don’t know anything about the frontlines and the struggle. They come in to take pictures and F off. Get rid of them!!!
Create AI center of Excellence
Dan is big proponent of AI. We need to create a of excellence for AI. Whoever is going to win AI war is going to be the next leader in this space.
This all leads back to Lowell
Lowell got rid of everybody around here that knew anything he just wanted a bunch of yes men and hatchet men. You could see this coming a mile away when the management catch phrase became" I don't need to know your job to be your manager."They... — read more
