Down 78k employees, time to get lean??
This is going to be similar to what Elon did to Twitter when he bought it. "To the long-suffering men and women in the trenches of the Verizon workforce, this may sound like a new commander's call for another big push days after the last fruitless... — read more
Why bother RIF if you have are hardworking?
We all know the answer, it's the lazy and d-mb people at top with no idea about the work we do. Funny thing is, they are in control of the list again.
Finance Transformation…what happened?
There was a lot of noise and fanfare about this but there still seem to be thousands of managers in Finance and a lot of spreadsheets…has anything really changed?
In Office Policy & RIF non-directional locations
Is it true the that Verizon wants to RIF most employees in non-directional locations in late 2026 and 2027 as part of the broader strategy to go lean? Now that we have three main directional locations, Dan wants to accelerate the plan to shutdown... — read more
First RIF then VSP
Yes, it's true that RIF is due later this month. However, I heard that since Dan wants to make the org extremely lean, they are also planning for a VSP in 2Q'2026. Anyone heard about that? Wouldn't that be interesting? Trim the fat once and then... — read more
Arctic Frost Scandal
Hans was fired in 10/6 and documents to scandal were unsealed 10/30. He was fired over Verizons compliance to the subpoena while ATT REFUSED! The board didn’t fire him for abismal leadership (the board was complicit in destroying a great American... — read more
Enterprise Wireline (WLN) safe?
Wireline safe for November 20th? I talked to a leader and they said they think it’ll be more WLS focused.
WHO SAID IT?
At Verizon, we are always listening to what our customers are saying as we focus on giving them the best experience at incredible value.
If Verizon riffed all Senior Directors would they be missed?
Would be a great cost saving and I don’t think they add much when there are already managers,senior managers,ADs and Directors Get rid of some of the fat and Verizon might have a chance
VZ management is over staffed
It is crazy hearing about RIFs when we have so many executives and most people have no idea what they even do. CEO has a meeting, then the SVP has a meeting, then the VP, then the Sr director, etc. All just say the same things and ask what did you... — read more

I'm a develop joining right before the new CEO. I assume i will be the first one if layoff happens in my team. All my long term plan has to be reconsidered at this point. Relocation, housing etc. Real advises please guys. How long this thing... — read more
Health Insurance for RIF
I looked on the intranet but can’t find the info. If you get RIF, do you get VZ non-COBRA insurance for the same length as your severance weeks? Or does VZ insurance go away on our last day of work? Thanks.
RIF or VSP
Why are we not seeing any WARN notifications? Is Verizon working on another VSP?
Move on....its not worth it
After 28 years, Dec 31 2024 was it for me. Cannot tell you how relieved I do not have to deal with the ups and downs of VZ. The constant every year layoffs, and BS of the senior managers, directors who protect their buddies, and their "click"... — read more
D-mb Hans is Gone
I still remember when Hans was first announced as CEO. I did some research and saw that his tenure at Ericsson ended in turmoil, which immediately raised red flags for me. My instincts told me he might bring similar issues to Verizon—and after eight... — read more
What happened to Hans?
I just just saw Vz got a new CEO. Does that mean layoffs expected?

Layoffs
Anybody in Finance worried? They have automated so many reports it feels like they are preparing to RIF us.
RIFTs
I heard people got let go today. At least some. Anyone care to share their story?

What's your dream job?
If you could say bye bye to Verizon, where would you go? What would you do?
No self-assessment for those who are getting laid off
Why would Verizon waste time and resources asking employees to add their accomplishments if they’re getting rid of them? The portal is opening around November 24th. Whoever got the email might be safe — but who knows
Schulman
Really sheds a light on how unserious our leadership team has been for the past 5+ years, it's too bad he's going to fire my a-s because this is the first time I've actually heard someone at that level make any sense whatsoever
Can we stop already with the AI bullsh-t?
What’s really happening is offshoring and cutting headcount. Once we reach the next “lean” stage and the workload triples, we’ll all discover that no AI actually took on any of the work. At least not in the sense of replacing anyone. I’ve yet to see... — read more
Infosys and HCL Tech
Is it a coincidence that as soon as Verizon partnered with these two Indian companies everything started getting much worse? Or am I being unfair?
Email Regarding Self Assessment
Has anyone received an email asking to put self assessment for year end 10/29 night arround 11:40pm and then got recalled 10/30? Is it a hint for something?
Hans
I'm so thankful Hans is gone. That dude was an embarrassment and ran VZ even further into the gutter. His DEI nonsense was not appreciated. He cried for George Floyd during an internal company webcast and THEN gave $1,000,000 to Al Sharpton's... — read more
Leaner? where?
I'd love to know how the heck we get any leaner out here in the CO's. Can't get the most basic stuff needed for years, and covering an unrealistically large geographical area ALONE when on OT. My suggestion is to start the "leaner" process with the... — read more
Well…Dan has been honest but what about the others?
Finally some acknowledgment of what most employees already knew…things aren’t great and they need to change But…where’s the acknowledgment from the other leaders as they rapidly pivot to protect their own positions I can’t help but feel that some... — read more

Is PiP culture coming to Verizon?
Post Dan's speech today, one gets the distinct impression that some version of Amazon's PiP culture coming to VZ. Maybe a 6% URA number to keep everyone on their toes?
“Simpler, Leaner, Scrappier”
