I work for a reseller in New England and work with an amazing team out of the Tulsa office. Does anyone know if the Tulsa VPS Credit and Collections team was affected?

Was this part of any of today’s announcements or is it still about to happen?

Is it safe to assume that if your store hasn’t been closed your safe?

It was the silence and uncertainty that was ki-ling me. Waiting for the hatchet to fall. Created so much intense anxiety. Especially since EVERYONE and their mother knew that the layoffs were coming. Yes, I’m out of a job. It’s not what I wanted... — read more 

Let me leave you with a thought today. We’re being told that in September, the economy added 116,000 jobs. Great. Cool headline. But I want every single person who got cut today or thought you might to remember something: This is the largest round... — read more 

Anyone still waiting on severance package email? I haven't received any email yet from HR.

I am fortunate NJ provides protection that requires VZ to keep me on the payroll a bit longer. Would it make sense to increase our 401(k) contributions for the almost two months in 2026 we get paid in NJ so we get more of the VZ 6% match? Or am I... — read more 

I was informed my position was eliminated today. I was told by my supervisor that I don't have to do any work (including transitioning any work to other teams) or charge any time for previously scheduled PTO. Is that correct?

Anyone know?

Anyone at VCG CSO impacted. I left last year, it's been good. There are jobs for VZ people, you guys have skills. Good luck

Hang in there, life after VZ has been a breath of fresh air. Wanted, valued, respected, empowered, heard…… all things missing until I started on this new path. Good luck and take care of yourselves. 🤗🫂😗

Already was running the place with duct tape and crazy glue. I'm sure this will "delight the customer!" /s

AT&T has been giving their employees 14 days notice.

Anyone else here wondering how we’re going to cover all these big gaps we took with the amount of people that left ? Peers in SP were already busy and losing 4 people is just going to add more uncertainty. Those who stayed , get ready to work for the... — read more 

He ran sprint / Ericcson to the ground and did the same with Verizon and now 13k employees paid the price. How ironic , files are about to be released and Hans steps down. He definitely went to island.

OK, that nastiness is over. When's the next round of vacation picks, and can we get softer TP?

So did he quit because he didn’t want to layoff a fifth of the company? 😅

Impact in Ashburn? What groups?

First of all, i empathize with all my coworkers that were impacted today and wish them my best as they pursue other opportunities . I survived today but want to know what is the severance package offered this time? Is it std severance(2 weeks per yr... — read more 

Like may here I was impacted today. I see the severance calculation which makes sense based on salary and years of service, but I see no mention of my vacation time. I have a large vacation balance and wanted to know if we see that payment figure... — read more 

Hans can fu-k up and he gets a nice bonus. In comes Dan, lies with a sh---y PR statement. Communication company with sh-t communication, gets rid of productive workers with great track records, but the bosses fu-k it up.

Was laid off as Verizon rep inside Best Buy. I replied to the message earlier to confirm, but I’ve had no communication since. How do I access to see my severance. Thank you!

Anyone here from the temple terrace office affected?

I was on Maternity Leave and STD and it was determined that my performance was the reason I had been affected. Is this even legal? I thought that is protected by FMLA? Has anyone else who was on a LOA affected, too?

Can’t see anything ahead but a gradual decline with bits of the business sold off over the next few years Verizon, a once proud company has lost its identity…and soul

After all this, I’m seriously considering going into one of the trades. Lots of work available if you’re reliable and show up ready to work

If you’re still employed, try to get union. People should feel secure about their job and not stress about if they’ll have a job the following week, or month. This isn’t the end of the layoffs. Get some protection. The unions are there for a reason. — read more

Create a mess for the 4th quarter and see how results are later.

last day of service is 2/20. Total Pay: (lets just say 50k) State Required Pay: 25k Final Severance Pay: 25k why am i only getting 25k?

From what you've seen, do you think older employees were targeted unfairly when they chose who to lay off?

I still cannot get into the Severance portal. Can someone post what the package is?
