GN&T has too many incompetent and wasteful people in leadership positions. I don’t think Accenture has the know how or the perseverance to sort this situation out. More than likely, they’ll end up throwing out the baby with the bath water!

Does anyone know what groups in VBG will be impacted next week? Or if any groups will be?

I have seen several posts today from people who say they are leaving Verizon. Is this VSP or something else?

If you got told to WFH and are in LM what group are you in. Just make it broad we don’t need to know your manager or anything but everyone just saying they got told to WFH and leaving it at that isn’t helping anyone out lmao

Where did that thread go ? Someone in Band 5 posted and confirmed that they got the early heads up.. and official announcement on May 7th. Why would layoff site delete layoffs related threads ?

Whatever happened to this? Is it still a thing? What the heck is/was it anyway?

Can former VSP recipient be eligible for rehire after 12 months?

A lot of chatter around layoffs, but it seems that they are going to just starve out and fire folks in the B2B Mid Market space. Unattainable quotas, 30 day PIP process, calls for 75% of our time which limits finding real deals within our base. Over... — read more

Amid budget constraints, Verizon stopped issuing new tokens.. sooner and later, most companies will catch up to the fact that how fast cost of AI will stack up compared to Human salary.

Makes no sense.

I'm so burnt out that I'm ready to ask for a spot on the next list. The strategy of slashing headcount to boost profits and never looking back is not sustainable.
