Don't like layoffs. But if you're in a bisuness unit built around a product, and the Swedish Chef announces a new org structure built around customer type, the writing was on the wall.
This. How can people still be surprised by or unprepared for layoffs? Everybody should know by now that some areas are more vulnerable than other and those working there should have not one, but at least two contingency plans in case their name comes up. Anything else at this point is not on Verizon, it's on the person.
