Hearing rumors of July layoffs. Do you think the customer insights team will be impacted? I am very nervous and trying to plan ahead.

Wow! Verizon now has a ton of money to make purchases!! https://pulse2.com/verizon-wins-nearly-3-2-billion-in-fcc-spectrum-licenses/amp/

Starlink has a contentious relationship with their D2D launch partner T-Mobile. This explains a lot of the rumors about them acquiring a terrestrial network. https://tmfassociates.com/blog/2026/06/26/fever-pitch/

Verizon needs to shed 8-10k more people to meet its 5B opex reduction by EOY. Maybe more when you factor in VZF.

As I prepare for a vacation trip to Europe I contacted Vz Call Center. I must say the Rep was outstanding. Being a longtime employee and Fios/Vz Mobile customer....historically was confusing and put so much on the Customer to manage. I point this... — read more 

When layoff news haunts a company all year, employees don’t wait to be pushed — they leave before the door closes on them.

Can someone teach me how to be a yes-man and boost the egos of unskilled, manipulative managers? Apparently, that's the skill needed by TPD Associate Director. Please for once can they let go Boston AD … Unfortunately, I'm not good at that, so... — read more 

…or are they afraid to many people will take it

Org has maybe 1 all-hands per year... only other times have been post RIF. Seems suspicious with the 7/16 rumor floating.

Sorry if it’s in here, I did take a brief look. Anyone know what determines when VZ uses the 2 weeks per year vs. 3 weeks per year for severance? And what the max is under the 3 weeks per plan? I know the 2 week option is 35 weeks, but unsure about... — read more 

What’s the word on that team? Full of ignorant fools who thinks very highly of themselves

2026 stock together has been approved with grant date Oct 1,2026 So if NJ requires 90 days notice and they have to get people off the books to avoid that payout, then a June 30 announcement for an off payroll date kinda makes sense. Does anyone have... — read more 

Has anyone sesent. Read the new company Email = Did you hear? Simplicity is se-y. WTF is wrong with these people and company!!! S-X SELLS??

It would be great to see the special advisor run. Last year Sampath showed up but didn’t run

I wish Verizon would be more transparent regarding our jobs. I’m working doing what I’m supposed to do but it’s an elephant in the room. In VCG a lot of upper management meetings but nothing definitive about layoffs are being shared or hinted. We’re... — read more 

Lots of closed doors this week along Director row. What has everyone heard about rifs in July for market level engineering GNT? We are mostly contractors at this point. How much more can they cut?

Great job Verizon, thanks for the memories! They saved the MSS fed side and sh-t everyone else out! Down with the sinking ship! Middle fingers up Dan!

So many groups and layers - I don’t think we need product and technology enablement team in VBG. Let’s be honest …

Will the Board continue to increase the dividend in September, or keep it flat, now that the company is no longer part of the DJIA? Maybe it is time to reinvest in 'the Network' instead of social justice warrior networks. Elon Musk solved the rural... — read more

Sounds like this offer is going to very disappointing in its size and numbers offered.That coupled with fact if it’s offered too late the rate is only going to get worse affecting the size of the lump later in year.Im so confused on what is taking so... — read more 

But I'm yet to hear that anybody found it. That's how bad it is out there. And that's the main reason why not just Verizon, but most of the companies can currently get away with treating their employees like cr-p. There's literally nowhere else to go... — read more 

Putting emotions aside and trying to be objective, it seems to me that Danfonso will be moderately successful. They’re just financial engineering their way to a slightly higher free cash flow. Layoffs, outsourcing to India, and cutting costs aren’t... — read more 

Why are they making us write the mid year reviews when layoffs are imminent in next 3 weeks?

Great! Verizon has been booted from the Dow! Alphabet will join mega-cap tech peers Nvidia, Amazon, Apple and Microsoft in the blue-chip index. Verizon had represented just around one-half of a percentage point in the index because of its low share... — read more 

Anyone here anything about retail stores/closures or are they safe this time.

VZ gets erased from the DOW (ED), Dan posts a VZ commercial that looks like an erectile dysfunction add. WTF? Here is the add: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQMjzLRqnB4

This board has spread more rumors than Fleetwood Mac! Some of them may even turn out to be true.

So it’s all but confirmed that the offer will be announced July 1 for an enhanced Eisp across the board.Lets just hope when it happens we don’t get run over trying to all get out the door

So many shakeups among the leadership over the years and things keep getting worse. It's like we're incapable of bringing in or selecting people who are actually capable of leading.

Restructuring should prioritize retaining execution-focused roles, as operational efficiency is best served by reducing redundant management layers.Employee is actually work by heart why layoff all time employees
