Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Labor is the biggest expense by RIF employees this should help the bottom line. With that being said and a stockholder keep the labor cost low and increase dividends.

Where are people going? It seems to be hard to find IT/tech jobs in this market

I was a top performer for 24 years and got let go last year. Village id--ts would rather have several id--ts cost the company money by missing SLAs than pay a few people top dollar that knows what the he-l they are doing.

My biggest advice to people still there is get as much IT certifications on the company dime as you can

Guys high performing doesn’t mean anything. Take the money and get the Ef out now. Don’t try and stay you will regret it. I’m at a place that has flex time and my salary is 35k more and an opportunity for commission. They took commission away at Verizon.

This is exactly my story too. I was laid off in October and both of us were delighted. I found a great job and life is much better. I was appalled at the way my s—tty manager handled myRIF. I’m glad I don’t have to see the b—-ta-d anymore

For grim counterpoint read the minions brown nosing on LinkedIn. Kissing the ring for all to see. Ops and engineering always seems to be disrespected. I saw tricky Nicky (nicola) was retiring or getting out while the money is good. She was the most clueless leader and could NOT read a room of employees.

Rif'd at my good job at Verizon
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
worrying 'bout the way the things might've been
You know that big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling, rolling yeah
Rolling on the river

Be happy you can leave with a package or severance. AT&T employees are being layed off and T is giving nothing to the employee. Two weeks notice and zero money.

Which jobs and which department?

It happened to me about a year ago and I couldn't be happier today. So if you were RIF'd recently know that life is about to get so much better for you. You'll find work you love with people you want to be around for more money too. Or maybe you'll find yourself again. The culture of VZ sucks and so do the bootlickers that are promoted to manage it. Hang in there friends.

When employees are happy and relieved they are RIF’d, it validates that VZ is a poorly run company.
Leadership matters.

It happened to me as well and I feel as though the weight of the world has been lifted. I do appreciate the package but won’t miss working for the VZ sh-t show

I am running too

It happened to me too. I woke up happy today!!!! First time in a long time!!! Taking the money and running!!!’
