Lots of closed doors this week along Director row. What has everyone heard about rifs in July for market level engineering GNT? We are mostly contractors at this point. How much more can they cut?

@hd Yes, DO NOT train their robot!
The people at the top want all engineering work automated, and think AI agents can change parameter configuration for SP, come up with site design (RF), co-related alarms and take software based actions (NA) .... yes GNT is in trouble.
Also FYI, they are heavily hiring NMC, NRB, Fast, SP, RF, Operations engineers in "India" ...
AI will be used as smokes and mirrors .... whereas global contractors will come at 1/3 of the American cost.
Also to all GNT folks out there, when you are teaching AI all the workflows and giving your years of knowledge, then basically you are training your replacement. Engineering folks have been asking for full scale automation ... and once 70% automation is achieved for the project, those roles are not needed in the U.S.
A very brutal truth, unfortunately we cant do anything, just to keep our knowledge to ourselves.
Our market is hiring, so who knows where OP is?
@ch this company is too big and that poster simply didn’t know. I think more clarity makes the most sense, what are the rifs targeting specifically. Network assurance, SP, RF, RE? Lots of titles and people involved in a sub market.
@c5 it’s the teams that literally build and maintain the cell sites. RF engineers, network real estate, construction, system performance, network assurance . Do you people not know anything about how our network is actually built?
Market Engineering? Is that a thing in VZ? No wonder we are in such troubles.....this company is really messed up, too big and disorganized....what would they need a Market Engineer for? And what type of engineer? Network? Software? Building?
@aa submarket network engineering (wireless)
What do you mean market level engineering? There’s many GNT engineer titles, please clarify.
i'm hearing frontier employees are safe because dan wants a more lean team. vz employees doing the same work are at risk
