Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Geographic Distribution of Buyout Impacted Resources

Hi All - disclaimer: I am not with Verizon, just trying to piece together a story...

Anyhow, I' d like to find out what geographic locations are impacted the most by the buyout events - I've pulled some numbers regarding where VZ IT was adding headcount since 2015 and I got the breakdown listed below (I picked only locations that contributed more than 1% of the IT hiring headcount)...

I am assuming that the spots listed below is where the buyouts are happening but wanted to see what the board may have to say about this assumption.

Thanks...

  • IRVING, TX (31%)

  • ATLANTA, GA (11%)

  • TEMPLE TERRACE, FL (10%)

  • WALTHAM, MA (7%)

  • ASHBURN, VA (6%)

  • BASKING RIDGE, NJ (6%)

  • PALO ALTO, CA (5%)

  • LOS ANGELES, CA (4%)

  • SAN JOSE, CA (4%)

  • SAN DIEGO, CA (2%)

  • NEW YORK, NY (2%)

Definitely Temple Terrace (basically Tampa) is affected, though a pretty high percentage of folks here are ineligible due to being on a work visa. I mean like a LOT of folks.

I'm talking about the people who are supposedly here because no domestic workers are available to fill these jobs. You know, workers like the ones about to be let go even though they're on the same team as the guest workers.

I work in Cary, NC and everyone I know who was with the company for more than 1 year was offered the buyout, at least 50 people (probably more but I can't confirm). I don't know about the status of the local IT staff, I haven't told to them.
