But that never happens, because they don’t give a damn about the employees or how any of this affects us.
Dividend @ Risk?
JPMorgan analyst Sebastiano Petti: "We anticipate that Schulman will pursue an assertive strategy to accelerate Verizon's fiber footprint growth, with a heightened focus on convergence to lower churn and enhance consumer segment volumes and share. ... — read more
Is this the week???
It's officially Tuesday... is this the week? Someone must know for sure, a lot of chatter on the site. Many large meetings were canceled and almost 60 days till end of year. I really wish the company would just do a yearly VSP instead of rifs. It... — read more
Why can't people wait and see?
Before deciding it'll be bad, or good, or whatever, why can't we just wait for a few months and see what happens?
Do the new security badges track time in-office?
I know people are getting new security badges. People are telling me these are being used to track time in-office. Is that correct? Why wouldn't they just track your time connected to the office network?
What will the "difficult decisions" be?
I am thinking that all functions will be outsourced except those that are required to keep the network running and some bean counters. Eliminate overhead by eliminating headcount, make all stores reseller locations, no inventory carrying costs... — read more
Value
Instead of wasting M's on Total Wireless and other cr-p brands, why are we not focusing on Verizon and that brand's problems! We have no prioirtiy in this company.
Q3 Results call moved to next week
could be because of layoffs this Thursday, could be because the new CEO doesn’t know enough to speak on results yet, who knows
Sampath as Heir Apparent??
https://www.linkedin.com/posts/rogerentner_a-67-year-old-ceo-with-a-two-year-mandate-activity-7385843828764614657-BJmG/ I hope that Shulman does shake things up... but what is the point if Sampath is CEO in 2 years... if this guy's right we are... — read more

Next big notification
VBG here and I was told next big notification for most groups will be 3rd week in November with December 19th off payroll and 2 weeks per year with a cap. RIF will hit non directional centers worse than three main campuses as the march to have those... — read more
Severance package if RIF
What exactly does the severance include and is there a max? Is it 2 weeks for every year of service? What’s the max amount of weeks they’ll give? 50? Do they also give bonus and stocks?
Time for a Package deal good enough to make people leave
If Verizon offered a package deal that was really good, would you take it. What is your definition of a really good package that you wouldn't even have to think about it and sign the next day?
Level Up is Belly Up
another program that didn’t do what was promised to string us all along again. I am going to just start calling myself a new title and see if anyone notices.
If there was VSP, I’d be first at the door
I don’t even care how bad Verizon’s been doing lately or what happens next. I’m overworked, exhausted, burnt out, and I can’t stand this place anymore. After years of hard work, I have nothing much to show for it, and there’s no real path upward... — read more
Big meeting canceled on 10/23
So out of nowhere a large an all in meeting was canceled for the 23rd. This happened after all the rumors about next Thursday, and no message from Sr. Leaders as to the cancellation. 10/23 based on what happened seems accurate based on this event... — read more
The HR Hall of Mirrors
Twenty-four years in the same system — and what we celebrate is endurance, not progress. HR calls it loyalty. Most of us call it survival. Look at that photo parade of executives. They’re not symbols of a healthy company — they’re evidence of what... — read more
So glad I am gone…
Exited last August via layoff with VSP. I often return to this board to see what’s happening. Hearing rumors of Oct 23 reminds me why I am so glad to be gone. 20 years in and glad for my gracious exit over a year ago. Bounced right into a new career... — read more

Verizon RIFs – Will Remote Employees Be Targeted First?
I’m hearing a lot of rumors about possible RIFs at Verizon, and I’m wondering if anyone knows whether remote or hybrid employees could be more at risk. Do you think Verizon might target work-from-home employees first, or is that just... — read more
The numbers being thrown around are wild
When’s the breaking point, the moment everything just falls apart because so many critical roles are gone and there aren’t enough skilled people left to carry the work?
Unemployment Benefits (When Quitting Verizon)???
Has anyone been able to get unemployment benefits when voluntarily quitting? Is this an option. Asked ChatGPT but it answers differently every time I ask it.
“He’s flipping burgers now but we can make a manager out of them”-Dan Schulmam when asked how Verizon picks their managers.
That explains a lot
So no layoff the 23rd?
So there is an All Employee call on the 23rd. So i guess that means there wont be a layoff on that day? Who knows
Nothing will change
More layoffs, more lost benefits, more reorgs, more of the same. I've lost any hope I had that things might by some miracle improve.
What is going with the Boston office???
I've read at least a dozen different things - What's going to happen? They signed a 20-year lease for the office space and it's by far the most attractive office we have IMO.
“If you had to fire one VP or above, who would it be?”
As title says.. I will vote for C. Paul and Vivek (whatever the last name is). They both need to be packed and shipped out asap. They are robbing Verizon. CX su-ks at all levels.
Rif next week???
Im seeing posts about this but no departments or business groups named. Im guessing no one really knows and its speculation based on past years? We can only hope for another VSP.
Pulse
Who filled out the Pulse survey? And more importantly - were you brutally honest?
Chief Executive Officer Compensation Arrangements
On October 6, 2025, Verizon filed a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing, among other things, the appointment of Daniel H. Schulman as Chief Executive Officer, effective as of October 4, 2025. Verizon is filing this Amendment No. 1 to such Current... — read more

At what year do vacation days increase?
Been at vz over 5 years with no vacation increase ever.
Why Vz replaced Hans
Hans did not have the experience or knowledge to lead Verizon - smoke and mirrors and everyone else paid the price(especially employees with vz stock). Sampath is not the right leader either. Stratton is the best fit to turn the company and stock... — read more
Buyer?
Who do you think the board will sell Verizon to after they finish looting it for all they can squeeze out of it?
