Everyone, I know this is a very nervous time, but please keep in mind, that THERE IS LIFE AFTER VERIZON! I was RIFed in May of 2018, but I was lucky enough to have my points/pension. I am still looking for work. It is a slow process for anyone 50+, but, it will happen.
Believe it or not, there is a sense of absolute relief when you and this company part ways (however it happens). Keep your heads up, breath, and try and relax....
True...I've heard from a couple people that were laid off from their jobs over the past year or two and they all say the same thing. They don't miss the BS we've been getting here and that there is a sense of less stress and relief in leaving. ON the plus side, with this new buyout offer, at least the economy is white-hot right now, so finding a job should not pose to be too difficult. I am planning on taking it despite not being fully ready for retirement. If you have confidence in yourself, there is nothing to fear.
GTFO, You are an HR insider trying to talk people off the ledge. Always on here talking about LIFE after Verizon.
Yes, "THERE IS LIFE AFTER VERIZON!", until VERIZON buys the new company you work for!!!
