Does anyone know anyone who was laid off yet and can she'd light on what the severence package is this time around? 3 months plus your STI? No STI?

And then days later leak the news and every source reports 15k job cuts?! Was this Franz's first task in office?

When are the leadership going to realize they are just a part of the overall machine…if they don’t take the employees with them this whole thing is going to fail…badly

Reflecting back on the past 25+ years....wow we really had great leaders who built Verizon the right way in Seidenberg and Denny Strigl. They literally started from the bottom and moved up to CEO. It's been downhill in leadership ever since... — read more 

If you got laid off, how would you handle your 401k? Are there rules that need to go about?

1 out of 5 employees aren’t pulling their weight. Everyone just thought of that person, did you… it’s okay… I did too. Now picture work without them.. If this doesn’t resonate with you, maybe you’re that person….

David Kim and team will be leaving to go work for Peter Adderton, the former owner of Boost Mobile. Dan is selling and exit under-performing businesses. I think we can all agree that Verizon Value is not valuable.

Anyone else feel like just coasting until next Thursday’s announcement? Not motivated to do much until I know one way or the other.

A Christmas story following Hans who, after getting fired from his CEO job, becomes an ice cream scooper at baskin Robbin’s, meets his true love, and discovers his true passion for ice cream. By hallmark.

So kudos to people keeping slacks open to the public, most people probably saw the 29k reference. However I found a new one showing 200 people under Kevin Z... also OWBPA report was referenced. So it looks like the retail rumors are definitely true... — read more 

If any VP is on this thread please just tell us how you decided who to layoff. It’s happening at this point. At least you’ll save us having a speculate for the next week. I know you’re supposed to be tight lip, but please please please. Just tell us. — read more 

Total head count by Q1 2026 will be over 35K employees accross whole company. That’s been confirmed by higher ups in my department. They are mostly going after call centers and stores. AI implementation. Band 3 employee

For the SVPs and VPs that were notified, what happens to their roles? Do they just get replaced with someone new? Do their teams get moved under other SVPs or VPs?

Does anyone know when the AD is officially informed?

If this is true, the impact could bring the whole company down. You can't just cut 15,000 people and hope the ship does not eventually sink....just sayin...

thats when you know your company is run by id--ts and cares jack about the v-teamer

News just reported Verizon upped it to 20,000 jobs loss, I’ve also heard internally 30k. I have a question, is engineering sc--wed(SWE)? At one of the main locations, recently got promoted, and am a bit worried. In early career, hired as a college... — read more

So many new unnecessary threads. Impossible to read them all. We went from 1 or 2 a day to 10 an hour. This is ridiculous!!!!!

Cutting 15,000 employees should save the company mucho dinero (after the initial cost outlay). That said, hopefully those let go will receive a good severance payout…including health coverage, STI and remaining stock plan.

My interpretation of the articles going around is that this is affecting “management” employees meaning HQ. Retail is its own thing and they are not categorized the same in the financials. Retail moving to indirect and/or closing down will be its... — read more

If you were in a Roundtable discussion with a VP does that help your chances? LOL

I hate what this is doing to me. I am here looking at my coworkers and praying its one of them and not me. I don't want anyone to lose their job, but of course I prefer that I don't lose mine. So here I am looking at my VZ "family" and hoping its... — read more
