Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Young and now unemployed

Got notice today. I am a young high performer. Looks like my job was outsourced. Don’t believe the narrative that it’s only affecting older folks close to retirement.

On another note, what kind of
f-ed up Squid Game, Hunger Games work culture is this?

If you are offered a severance, take the money and run, don’t look back. I know I will. Good luck to those that remain.

Happened on the management side a few years ago. Much higher numbers. Just the nature of the business

Sadly, though being in leadership at Verizon and watching how reps take phone calls I see why it is just going overseas. Half of the employees have FMLA for their issues and you cannot count on consistent staffing.

lol.

I love how Verizon is the only company in history to ever lay anyone off.

Imagine calling layoffs a "squid game".

Yes it sucks, especially when Hans still has his job (95% of other CEOs would have been gone years ago), thanks to his WEF/Blackrock ties.

But this is the world we live in where an incompetent president has driven interest rates sky high (vz has tons of debt) and Verizon delayed 5G to appease that same na-i president, which gave ATT and TMOBILE time to catch up in the space

My husband got his notice today as well. Thankful for the severance and that his stress is gone. The yearly roulette game is tough but when the call came it was still a shock.

Lol. Verizon did not pick who was laid off by age. I was in Social Media and they laid off every Social Media representative. Old, young, fetus. The whole U.S. department was laid off. Debt ceiling deadline is around the corner. Why pay someone in the U.S. $67,000 when they can pay someone in another country $200/mo. Good luck finding the insurance Verizon Wireless offers. I was one of the lucky ones that secured another position. Glad I get to stay.

They got bad rap on the last few rifs for targeting people over fifty. Too many were keeping the lights on and they had a brain drain not to mention legal issues. I don't think they'll pull that stunt again.
