Does anybody know anything concrete about the rumored end-of-year layoffs?

There’s seems to be a lot of resentment here from some people with phrases like “adults go to work” and “covid is over” and “it’s your own fault that you moved to another state” and common sentiment is - get back to the office or get out. A lot of people seem to be unaware that remote work existed way before Covid. There are some companies who hired remote-only (look up Hashicorp). Remote work existed in Viacom too.
Most of what I’m hearing here is towards people who were in the office and then became remote due to COVID. Ok I get that. What beef do you have with me, someone who was hired remotely years before COVID, never lived anywhere near NY or LA, and commonly known as a local workaholic often working way over 8 hours a days, often working weekends etc? Where do I have to “return” to? I’m where I’ve always been. And I’m not going anywhere.

What happened?

What companies are mid-career folks from T are joining?

I’m hearing December 1st, 8th, 15th, layoffs have already started, re-org is coming, 1NA is coming, sending jobs to Russia, sending jobs to Mexico, 3000 layoffs, he-l somebody even said 20%+ which would mean 60k+ employees and would be the biggest layoff in American history for a single company.

Does anybody have any solid information on real December layoffs or restructuring and what groups are impacted. Frontline? Managers? Division, HQ? Etc.

If you know, you know. The question that we've all been asking. Apparently, the CEO too.

Got laid off two weeks ago and my gas sponsored credit card still works! Thanks. Feel zero regret about it. If COP read this do something and stop all these cards from working on laid off people. Anyhow this is another example of how badly things are planned in conoco.

Received email Friday 11/21 saying ATS team (Legg) in Bedminster needs to go 5 days in office beginning 12/1.

Who's next? Or are they done at that level and now will focus on the next levels?

How deep will Bain's cuts be?

Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ) executive vice president and Chief HR Officer Samantha Hammock reported an acquisition of 84.289 phantom stock units on 11/20/2025 under a deferred compensation plan. After this transaction, she beneficially owns 29,098.676 phantom stock units, held indirectly through the company’s deferred compensation plan.

Each phantom stock unit is described as the economic equivalent of a portion of one share of Verizon common stock and is settled in cash rather than actual shares. The units become payable upon events that Ms. Hammock has established in line with the plan’s rules, and the total includes phantom stock accumulated through dividend reinvestment.

Is Shankar out? Will there be a reorg in VGS?

Are you ready to move to your beautiful office at the Pioneer building?

Is it just me or was the last company meeting different? It wasn’t the usual energetic fluff that we’re used to. There was no formal run down of the numbers by the CFO. Then SM and SR bring in another one of their friends to run security. What’s unusual about this friend is she’s close to retirement age which means she isn’t joining for a lengthy career. It says a buyout is near without saying a buyout is near.

I’d heard he left. Looks like he got a job with a wallet - maybe he will give Elliot a run for their money and just buy us.

Sitting here remembering when each holiday season, BOAs could choose a turkey or ham to take home. I was so proud to provide that for my family. That "founder of the feast" feeling.

When that program was axed a year after PP got here, I thought it was really sad b/c each year I counted on that "bonus."

Guess it was a sign of things to come....the beginning of the dismembering of Edward Jones.

I couldn't agree more with this vlog https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Dd33C4k-Zs

My location will transition to Your Wireless Indirects, has anyone heard of them, and what the commission/company is like?

Been a loyal NTAP employee for over a decade. I was told to burn my PTO in exchange for all the time off that i wanted. Then you lay me off and keep the $20k that I would have had coming to me if you had not told me to use it ASAP. So glad to not be working for this company anymore, how awful you are to the people that once made you great. What a terrible leadership team that is now in charge of a once great company. Keep sc--wing your employees and see how that works out for you in the very near future........

From my understanding, the following clinics have been affected:

• Euclid,
• Stanton,
• Cypress,
• Cerritos,
• Seal Beach,
• Tustin,
• Foothill Ranch,
• Laguna Hills - Moulton
• San Juan Capistrano.

Seeing all the LinkedIn updates from everyone impacted is breaking my heart. I hope Vz leaders who made all this possible are also seeing these. And why right before Thanksgiving? Truely sickening. Lost faith in this company and the people up top.

I survived… but not sure how Vz can ever feel like “family” after so many face so much uncertainty right before the holidays.

Unfortunately, we will meet again layoff.com, when the next round comes.

This site had many trolls but it also provided more information that leadership cared to share with us.

I'm considering working at Humana but the 6-week paid maternity leave seems really short compared to their competitors.

It makes me wonder about what they actually value as a company. Has anyone worked there and can tell me what they're really like?"Retry

Anybody on here ever work for this indirect company called BeMobile? They are turning some into this indirect in my area and I never heard of them. What do yall think about them? Good or bad? Same as corporate verizon?

the centralization bias is real

Up 10% you doom gloomers

... Will be the punchline for this fuggin' bubble.

LMAO!!!

Does anyone know what is going to happen to the new grads that are supposed to start next Spring?

Get ready. I was told by a VP level Sales executive that HPE will be doing a WFR again in January..

With all the changes the new leadership over P & C claims are implementing across all of p&c they will never get these claim jobs moved into the hubs. Not Injury, not TL, not fire, not Sub, not Property. There is to much for new hires to learn and retain, they will not stay. What we have in the hubs now cannot do the work. We will work from home forever or until they make us miserable enough to quit.

Checking in — are there any additional layoffs happening today, or was everything supposed to be finalized yesterday? Haven’t heard anything from leadership.

@"the men and women who built this into a once great company."

Seriously, Verizon was NEVER a "Great" company. They never invented any groundbreaking technologies nor created any new markets nor set any significant business or technology trends.

Verizon (Bell Atlantic & Nynex) was spawned from AT&T (AKA, "Ma Bell") and grew primarily thru acquisitions (GTE, Alltel, MCI and potentially Frontier). Yes, they built out an excellent network but their real success come from leveraging sheer mass scale.

AT&T and IBM would be examples of truly great companies. Verizon is an "also ran" company who's day in the sun is fading because it ignored it's customers.

I’m wondering…

How does he feel about his nickname? Dan the Hatchet Man? I wouldn’t be surprised if he actually likes it.

How does it feel to cause such intense pain and misery to 13,000 individuals, multipled by 3 or 5 when you take into account, the family members of those who have been laid off?

This company is terrible. Would not recommend!

Terrible decisions from Lowell started this spiral, then they bring in Hans who made very poor decisions with Ericsson and big shocker history repeated itself at Verizon. I literally remember the day he was named as CEO, fellow co workers talking about his track record at scratching their heads on why he was named....and the kicker....the new CEO was on the board of directors when they picked Hans. So all the cr-ppy decisions he made can all tie back to the board and their awful decision to bring him on. So now a member of that cr-ppy board of directors is now the CEO and employees and investors are supposed to have some kind of hope in that? I cant believe what this once wonderful company has turned into. All these frontline workers who bust their butts and care about the customers are just tossed to the curb...DURING THE HOLIDAYS. Very heartless. Just think about it...axing 13k individuals in hopes that that news would drive up stock price by a few pennies. Very very sick game they are playing. I left back in 2023 and couldnt be happier. It was so scary and stressful when it happened to me and my heart goes out to those effected. Its so hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel and I know the job market now is much worse than it was in 2023. I genuinely hope you all land on your feet...and soon.
