Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

RIF - IT Departments

We know about VBG and various Sales Teams.

Does anyone have any information about IT? Is EUS safe? What about the Server and Storage teams? Is Network and the NOC safe? What about the Systems Engineering Teams?

Out here, they 're not giving us any information. I'm happy to still be employed; however, I want to know about my coworkers.

Scuttle is gts security, infra teams and eus are being protected from cuts as they had been pillaged in prior rifs... apps teams are being the focus with more on commodity dev services will go to 3rd parties...but as we have seen in the past, no one is really protected from cuts.

Client Partners were hit, some from the investment side, WLN was hit in sales, a lot of solution architects and SE were impacted, VBG Product and Markeing too. This last round appears to be VBG heavy and they were positive in subs.

People in network and IT were let go. Not as big as VBG as multiple groups were hit. Some in Marketing, Strategy, Sourcing, TPD and other orgs. This was not just VBG that was hit. Expect another round in Q1 as they continue to reorg.
