Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Writing on the Wall

Well just checked multiple Sr Director and VP calendars and looks like some groups met already to proceed forward with next weeks rif.... its rare to see all of them meet same day/time and of course you can check the same day for prior weeks to see its not a normally reoccurring meeting. So I guess the lists are made and finalized, and Sr. Directors now know who is on the cut list. Obviously they can't share it early but I wish they could, just so we dont have to think about it for another week. My manager is concerned and I can't blame them... things just feel super weird lately.

@a8 a supervisor would not have been made aware yet. Also your supervisor may be one of those impacted. VP’s likely know but I think it’s still too early for even Sr Directors to know. Too many people leaking information so they are tight lipped until given the names and scripts

Do you guys have all that time and willingness to check VPs' calendars?

Was told today GNT or whatever it's called now will be impacted but will exclude TriState and WBV

Not surprising that there are VPs and band 5s who don’t know how to hide their calendars from prying eyes

During a team meeting today, my Supv/VCG was asked if she heard of all the layoff rumors? She flat out said no! Yeah right 🙄

@OP lol I did this same thing in December and was able to figure out sh-t was going down by looking up everyone’s calendar and seeing a huge change in meetings happening and that they were definitely not recurring and something was going down. I also saw on Monday that our VP had the entire day for that Thursday 11/19 blocked off as busy from 8-6 pm and I was like sh-t our vp blocked off the entire day. I went back and looked at their calendar to see if they had ever done anything like that before and nope. Sure enough sh-t did indeed go down on that Thursday haha.
