I still keep in touch with former co workers in addition to keeping up with postings on this site. I am so glad to no longer be in the firestorm that is being a VZ employee. This was a once great company and I am very grateful for all the skills I acquired during my tenure. That has allowed me to become very successful, but this AI takeover is very real and it seems to be impacting a few key industries the hardest, telecom being one of those. Regardless if you decide to hold off for severance, weather the storm, or depart on your own terms just remember, YOU GOT THIS!

I didn’t want to leave the company, but when they laid me off during VSP and gave me the enhanced severance of nearly $200K, I realized leaving wasn’t actually a bad thing.
Why feel sorry for people who still have jobs? They kept some of the d-mbest people anyway.
@OP F..k off!
I think many still at the company are waiting for their name to be picked. Leaving on your is leaving a lot of money on the table if the company was about to lay you off anyway.
@OP: you are probably an H1-B visa holder and foreigner!!!!!!
