Next big notification
VBG here and I was told next big notification for most groups will be 3rd week in November with December 19th off payroll and 2 weeks per year with a cap. RIF will hit non directional centers worse than three main campuses as the march to have those... — read more
Severance package if RIF
What exactly does the severance include and is there a max? Is it 2 weeks for every year of service? What’s the max amount of weeks they’ll give? 50? Do they also give bonus and stocks?
Time for a Package deal good enough to make people leave
If Verizon offered a package deal that was really good, would you take it. What is your definition of a really good package that you wouldn't even have to think about it and sign the next day?
Level Up is Belly Up
another program that didn’t do what was promised to string us all along again. I am going to just start calling myself a new title and see if anyone notices.
If there was VSP, I’d be first at the door
I don’t even care how bad Verizon’s been doing lately or what happens next. I’m overworked, exhausted, burnt out, and I can’t stand this place anymore. After years of hard work, I have nothing much to show for it, and there’s no real path upward... — read more
Big meeting canceled on 10/23
So out of nowhere a large an all in meeting was canceled for the 23rd. This happened after all the rumors about next Thursday, and no message from Sr. Leaders as to the cancellation. 10/23 based on what happened seems accurate based on this event... — read more
The HR Hall of Mirrors
Twenty-four years in the same system — and what we celebrate is endurance, not progress. HR calls it loyalty. Most of us call it survival. Look at that photo parade of executives. They’re not symbols of a healthy company — they’re evidence of what... — read more
So glad I am gone…
Exited last August via layoff with VSP. I often return to this board to see what’s happening. Hearing rumors of Oct 23 reminds me why I am so glad to be gone. 20 years in and glad for my gracious exit over a year ago. Bounced right into a new career... — read more

Verizon RIFs – Will Remote Employees Be Targeted First?
I’m hearing a lot of rumors about possible RIFs at Verizon, and I’m wondering if anyone knows whether remote or hybrid employees could be more at risk. Do you think Verizon might target work-from-home employees first, or is that just... — read more
The numbers being thrown around are wild
When’s the breaking point, the moment everything just falls apart because so many critical roles are gone and there aren’t enough skilled people left to carry the work?
Unemployment Benefits (When Quitting Verizon)???
Has anyone been able to get unemployment benefits when voluntarily quitting? Is this an option. Asked ChatGPT but it answers differently every time I ask it.
“He’s flipping burgers now but we can make a manager out of them”-Dan Schulmam when asked how Verizon picks their managers.
That explains a lot
So no layoff the 23rd?
So there is an All Employee call on the 23rd. So i guess that means there wont be a layoff on that day? Who knows
Nothing will change
More layoffs, more lost benefits, more reorgs, more of the same. I've lost any hope I had that things might by some miracle improve.
What is going with the Boston office???
I've read at least a dozen different things - What's going to happen? They signed a 20-year lease for the office space and it's by far the most attractive office we have IMO.
“If you had to fire one VP or above, who would it be?”
As title says.. I will vote for C. Paul and Vivek (whatever the last name is). They both need to be packed and shipped out asap. They are robbing Verizon. CX su-ks at all levels.
Rif next week???
Im seeing posts about this but no departments or business groups named. Im guessing no one really knows and its speculation based on past years? We can only hope for another VSP.
Pulse
Who filled out the Pulse survey? And more importantly - were you brutally honest?
Chief Executive Officer Compensation Arrangements
On October 6, 2025, Verizon filed a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing, among other things, the appointment of Daniel H. Schulman as Chief Executive Officer, effective as of October 4, 2025. Verizon is filing this Amendment No. 1 to such Current... — read more

At what year do vacation days increase?
Been at vz over 5 years with no vacation increase ever.
Why Vz replaced Hans
Hans did not have the experience or knowledge to lead Verizon - smoke and mirrors and everyone else paid the price(especially employees with vz stock). Sampath is not the right leader either. Stratton is the best fit to turn the company and stock... — read more
Buyer?
Who do you think the board will sell Verizon to after they finish looting it for all they can squeeze out of it?
Look at your states WARN Notice
NJ WARN Notice. If Verizon lays off more than 50 people, they may be listed around 10/23. But not sure if they have to be listed if they give employees 60 day notice. Nokia USA always gets away from being listed. Not sure... — read more
Has any Verizon's decision ever gone in employees’ favor?
Over the past 40 years, has there ever been a decision that helped employees? IMO, they just keep taking.
Why Vz needed a new CEO
Hans did not have the experience or knowledge to lead Verizon - smoke and mirrors and everyone else pays the price. Sampath is not the right leader either. Stratton is the best fit to turn the company and stock around. Only met him... — read more
Strike Voluntold
We were told today that if they don't get enough volunteers for strike relief that management will do a mandatory selection. How is it that they can tell non-union employees that they have to travel and work outside of their home state and cross... — read more
Strike Duty
Retiree here. Just got my medical bill. It’s doubling. Where due I sign up to work the strike to pay for it??? Just asking
What’s with the 5-day RTO rumor?
The chatter is escalating. Is there actually something to it, or is it just based on reasonable expectations?
Meeting in Bedminster today with "Important People"
So the meeting today in Bedminster was with many managers and other higher ups. The layoff rumors appear to be true, if anything this may just be like some other past RIFs. You get noticed then you have "X" amount of time to check for another... — read more
