I’m in VZ Connect but my manager is terrible and doesn’t communicate well. Can anyone tell me if Connect will be impacted?

Market has rejected Dan's plan. Its been a week since they announced 15K layoffs, the stock hasnt moved an inch. Could be a signal that market is anticipating further deterioration at the expense of cost reduction.
