Verizon does layoffs every single year. You’re not working towards your retirement at Verizon, you’re working for your severance. I was with Verizon for 20 years and I was laid off about a year ago. The severance is great, you can also collect unemployment, and the job market is still really good. I landed at a company and career I love making about the same pay I did when I was laid off. I worked at 2 different companies before I ended up at my current company. I changed my mindset after I was let go. I no longer work for not am I loyal to a company, I work for myself and I’m loyal to me. That’s why I left the 2 companies I landed with after Verizon, it wasn’t a good fit and I stayed loyal to myself. Im glad I did because I love my company and job now. Don’t stress, things will always work themselves out in the end.
