I think our leadership figured out that laying of in only a certain part of the company makes those layoffs, more or less stealth on the level of the whole company, given the company size and the fact that it operates at various locations. Think they... — read more

The fact that there are fewer and fewer threads reporting layoffs on this board, even though they are happening on a daily basis just gives me the entire picture of the ill environment that we’re all faced at VZ in this time. Seems that people have... — read more
