I wish they would just cut deeper to begin with. The uncertainty increases the difficulty in coping and focusing on the job. Thankfully, I got my resume updated by a professional recently, and will keep my options open.

Any changes to employee packages now that NFL ST is gone?

Since the lay offs I have not had my applications work properly and the applications for scheduling are not working so yes my pay is affected. I am extreamlly disappointed in directv's direction. I really wished we could have been somthing

For individuals leaving January 20th. If you are 55 years old or turning 55 this year you can withdraw from your 401k and not be subject to the 10% early withdraw tax penalty.

old and scared of a layoff from Directv but getting no information from the company

It’s so sad that about 10% of the management team has been laid off. There is a lot of good talent that has been lost today. For those impacted, keep your chin up. The market isn’t as bad as it might seem for all of your wonderful skill sets-... —  read more 

Today word is a 10% reduction in employees by Jan 20 2023.

Looks like it's not just the Management.

Company is cutting 400 employees

It’s over guys, for those who are at the bottom toll of the seniority list expect to get layoff because DirecTV just lost the nfl network.

The layoffs will be directly tied to the continuing decline of satellite. After next year, look for a serious break up to part ways with that side of the business, which means layoffs galore. Keep looking for other jobs. The TOG buy in was to polish... —  read more 

There is no doubt that DTV is sinking very fast. I also don't see what could help DTV get back on track, but maybe someone still thinks that there is a strategy that could fix this mess?

Purely out of curiosity, I'm interested in how you think DTV will look in 5 years.

Finally! Just when I thought that I won't be able to find a new job and was getting desperate, my efforts paid off. I received a very solid offer and I am happy to leave here. Does anyone else see their future here? I doubt it.

If the economy turns around, do you anticipate any DIRECTV layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

What is the line where we drop below the "break even" point in terms of numbers customers and the ability to fund the basic operation of this company? To the best I can discern from industry reports, we have somewhere between 11 million and 14... —  read more

The IRS Segment Rates are increasing, first 3.0 Second 4.22 Third 4.17 as of April 2022

DTV Stream is the future and I suspect the skill set is weighted towards satellite service that is waning. Maybe it's time to adjust headcount levels with emphasis on streaming service and perhaps that's why many new hires have been brought onboard... —  read more 

Losing customers is a logical sequence of events, given that the company has long neglected their wishes and needs. I just hope they will know how to effectively improve customer retention?

As somebody else mentioned, we're currently amid a hiring spree and for a change, things have been going right for a while now. There is no reason for cuts at this point. I'm usually a glass-half-empty kind of guy, but even I have to admit that I've... —  read more 

How bad will layoffs be?

It is not clear from the benefit programs communication

Any insights what this will be?

How can We get rid of the CWA lets go back to the real days of DTV. All they do is take our money and then Run
