If you don't value your employees, if you don't appreciate the work we do, then you're not going to get very far. And the latest round of layoffs showed just that. You don't care if we lose knowledge, expertise, and know-how. All you care about are... — read more 

No, this is not a fear mongering post. This is a real post. I have seen the sheets and there are so many planned outsourcing and offshoring initiatives over the next year and a half it is ridiculous. GNT and Finance are being sliced up on so many... — read more 

I was on a performance plan and notified of the layoffs and that I wouldn’t be able to reapply for the 3 new positions. Confused as to why I haven’t been given an end date yet.. just business as usual

Higher ups talking about of dividend cut coming. I wonder how this would affect our stock together or 401k

Thanks for the summer off, especially being let go in NJ. 90 notice, takes me to the end of August, plus my 4 weeks of unused vacation time, prorated bonus and of course the severance. Already lined up my next job, and most were right on this... — read more 

I hear from some colleagues that they have almost nothing to do. That's not a good sign. Does it mean that they will be cut soon or not necessarily?

It is shameful that this “leadership” team is able to cut 10s of thousands of employees due to their poor business decisions and misunderstanding of Verizons value to the consumer and still able to collect their pay and stock incentives. Inside the... — read more 

I am very frustrated and disappointed, but I try not to dwell too much on what happened, I think that the energy should be directed to looking for new opportunities. I don't think it will be easy at 50+ regardless of skills though?

Verizon needs, effectively immediately, an Independent Chairperson for its Board of Directors. The current CEO as Chairman of the Board of Directors results in a Conflict of Interest - and Zero Corporate Governance. Harshly, the CEO is not suited... — read more

The current Verizon CEO should stop accepting his salary and only be paid US $1/annum. Base the current CEO's remaining total compensation on stock options at varying predetermined "higher and not lower" share prices. This is a no brainer. With... — read more 

The company saw how highly paid WFH was a waste of money because if the job can be done from home then it can also be done from India for 1/10 the cost . The people that refused to come back to the office caused the RIF’s!

Did they get notified as well this week or do they find out when they are back at work?

What do yall think will happen to retail reps in the future

This stock will likely go lower and maybe whomever is pulling the levers behind the curtain wants this to happens so that is acquired. Hans has been the worst CEO at Verizon. Worse than Lowell. Agree?

I'm seeing this on two social media sites. Current employees who know that their departments will be going away or shipped overseas are planning on purposely doing poor work. I'm not sure how others feel about this. I'm not sure how I feel about... — read more 

Tuesday afternoon my husband received the dreaded Wednesday morning meeting invite from his manager. Rumors had already been swirling about a RIF but he was still shocked when he was told he was out. He’d been a high performing, loyal worker for 16... — read more 

I find it strange that a person who is very capable gets laid off, but the biggest pretender and slacker does not. Is there any logic at all to these layoffs? How can the remaining employees keep their motivation for work when they see how... — read more

Verizon really knocked me down when they laid me off a few months ago, but guess what? It didn't break me. I was convinced I'd be doomed to joblessness when there were so many people being laid off at the same time, but guess what? I found employment... — read more

Does anyone know if fraud or Ert will be affected this year with the layoffs?

Will it hit 29 in the coming months??

I'm in SoCal and got cut after over 7 1/2 years. I'm completely shocked. The funny thing is I make way less than many engineers who are staying and I definitely make less than typical in this market. They gave me a month of severance - after nearly... — read more
