They’re not real contributors to the workforce. They bring nothing to the company, and the only reason they’re still around is the cheap internal politics backed by upper management like Kalyani, Senthil, and Vivek. It’s embarrassing that they’ve... — read more 

It's tough out there. I took the package last year after 17 years in Engineering, thinking I'd find a new job without much trouble. A year later, I'm still looking. It's a difficult market, and I truly hope everyone manages to land on their feet.

Does anyone understand the weeks of medical benefit line? Does that mean we keep our insurance for that many weeks? Or is that strictly cobra coverage? They don’t explain anything.

I see for some it's 12/19 and for others it's in February. I'm sure there are other dates in between as well.

Anyone affected in GSC?

AD and SD called, 6 years with VZ. Was recently moved to a new group and was working with senior engineers. Promoted very early on in my tenure, great performance reviews. Didn’t matter they basically said my functions can be done by people in... — read more 

Because I certainly didn't.

If my last day on payroll is 12/19 but my work anniversary is January 1 do I get a prorated amount or is it a hard cut off for years of service?

Any Tulsa folks impacted?

I was hired in December 2 years ago and in the RIF call I asked my manager if I will get severance based on the last day of work or notice day which will make a difference to get a 1 or 2 years based severance package. He didn't know and said HR will... — read more

Can’t speak for all business units but I’m in GNT and our market had new email distros created for all groups of remaining employees (NA, Engineering, RF, SP). All of them were created on 11/12 and first used today after RIF notifications had been... — read more 

What a horrible day, I am safe… but my friends were cut and it just feels like a death. NO ONE deserves to be without a job right before Christmas. Sharing what I know, future looking - Consumer re-org will be announced tomorrow. Not sure on... — read more 

This is absolutely brutal. It will take quite a while to get used to the "new" Verizon.

If they have not reduce from that cr-ppy team.. expect lousy bad web and app experience

I am hearing that up to 20 % on the union workforce will be layed off next . (Workers hired after 8 of 2003 ) Any thoughts or facts on this ?

25 years. Vbg. Original MCI employee. 64 years old. Can’t help but see it’s my age. Seems I’m the only one on my team. Oh well. Off date 2/20/26. So much for being a loyal employee.

I'm sure a lot of you have seen others posts around retail but I got some solid numbers. 180 stores were impacted today which they are still required to work today which is very sh---y. 179 stores will divest and one will close. It is 30 stores per... — read more

https://x.com/TheLayoff/status/1991549322509566279 numero uno, today, again. probably the biggest business news of the day. it's a sad throne that we occupy right now

Does this mean we are safe or we are cooked?

Our incoming calls going directly to voicemail! Per Apple Support suspected “network” issue. Required a phone reset…. Coincidence?… Anyone else having/had trouble?

I left in 2024, I was laid off. I'm really sorry to hear about the layoff. That's tough &it's okay to feel whatever you're feeling right now. But i know all of you are VERY capable and good at what you do... Sometimes these things happen and they end... — read more

I'm RIFd, and I'm actually pretty happy about it. I've been here a long time and it was time. I'm grateful for the many years I've been employed. However, it isn't the same company it used to be. For those of you who are surprised and upset, my... — read more 

It looks to me like they're almost positioning Verizon to be sold. I have seen these sorts of layoffs (no rhyme or reason and across EVERY GROUP) before and it has always been before a company goes up for sale. I think there would be anti-trust... — read more
