Not burnt but nuked, crazy stuff.

It will be a shell of its former self. Brilliant strategy, wireless and broadband, the 2 most commoditized products in the industry, and supposedly a transport provider with the shittiest and smallest footprint fiber network there is.

Old glass doesn't cut it these days.

Good luck to all!

My boss, my old boss, and my buddy who is a manager all got whacked this morning. There's blood in the streets. Never seen anything like this.

My VPN just went down and can’t connect. Is it just glitch or they just brought down my access. I am scared now!!!

Welp, there you go. He survived, but there's only 2 left out of 10. How can they possibly do that amount of work? So we know that they're just being kept around for knowledge transfer and then he will be gone in Feb/Mar when the next round hits.

We're both pretty upset as the people on the team were really good people and hard workers. No "slackers".

Best of luck to all of you. It's a really sad day for so many people... even for those that "survived".

Did anyone from business fraud in NC heard anything? So far it’s been quiet.

Asm in Atlantic south need answers as to job safety for store level managers I know reps are affected but idk about ASM and RM

Is there a point that we can be sure we are safe if we haven't heard anything? 11am? 12pm? 3pm?

Haven’t heard anything about customer service. Also haven’t heard anything about PACT or are new customer champion department.

How many are gone?

Any news from Midwest? anyone getting cut? I hope everyone the best rn!
God bless!

Anyone in supply chain affected?

Are we safe? Or know anyone affected?

At least so far. We won't be able to function without them, so I'm assuming either the rest of us will be laid off as well or reassigned to other teams. This will be a long day.

Just looking for clarity as to how this will unfold. Also, I like my boss, he's a good dude. When will I know if he is safe?

It’s starting now. If you’re in CST or EST, and you don’t hear anything for the next 30 minutes I think you’re probably okay. Good luck

Anyone else having the same feeling? I have not heard anything from my Manager or Director…No invites or schedules on their calendar…all team members are just on the edge of their seats even if a new email pops up. But no word if we are all safe or any impact on our team!

Just getting too anxious at this point! I hope at least they let us know if we are safe or not!

We had 1400 calls in que everyday now today 8 minutes between calls!!! Go figure

Anyone know what that means or what it’s code for?

Or if you know somebody who's affected, post their age, please. I want to see if my suspicions are correct.

I’m currently at work checking email and nothing from the ceo but I am in wireline fios customer service but I thought that email would be sent out to all of Verizon I guess not.

Had a pre scheduled PTO day, wondering if they’ll still call or wait until tomorrow. I’d like to get this cr-p over with.

Anyone get this when the logged in this morning. Of course makes me ultra paranoid to have seen a security patch reboot prompt as soon as I unlocked my computer

Those who has received Dan email are safe?

I think my chances are about 50/50 of being impacted today.

I started at the very bottom and worked my way up over 28 years. In that time, I’ve held—and mastered—multiple roles. These roles allowed me to learn how everything works. I’m one of the few people who truly understands how everything works end-to-end.

I’ve built many systems and processes here that only I fully understand.

So if today is the day I’m “promoted to customer,” I take comfort in knowing Verizon is fu---d. I won’t be here to take anyone's calls, explain how something works, or why it was designed a certain way. I won’t be handing out contacts or filling in gaps or giving out recommendations on solutions to complex issues.

And I also take comfort knowing I’m not alone in feeling this way. A lot of people know where the bodies are buried—and they won’t be helping either.

Good luck.

Or am I just hearing nonsense? Why would they have something against white collar back office?

are you surprised or not

You can almost smell it in the air!

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

Has anybody been notified so far today?

Can somebody please explain to me why are people getting laid off already? I thought this was supposed to be one major round starting on Thursday, and I keep seeing mentions of this or that already being laid off - and I'm not talking about managers here. What's going on?

Glad to see they clearly took the 7,000+ comments seriously. They did not address any of the massive concerns employees voiced, put here, and on Glassdoor. What a joke!

If I don't get a call today or tomorrow by 10am and I don't get any weird blocked invites - can we assume we are getting RIFd?

All the network techs in our state had MNC meetings and calls assigned to us for 8am-9:30am tomorrow 11/20. Asked our supervisor about it and could hear the sheer panic in his voice when he said he had no idea about it and that he hasn’t been invited to a call of any sorts for those times. There’s also no bridge # or meeting link sent to us yet. Just blocked off MNC from 8-9:30.

Not sure if that means we are safe or if he’s getting the boot.. I hope not. He’s one of the few good supervisors still around.

I can’t imagine they’d let all of us go. There wouldn’t be anyone to maintain the network.

Did any other areas get the same meetings assigned to them?

Are we done finally? Can I wake up happily assuming my job is safe?

It’s been a while we saw a big one and I am getting a sense it’s right around the corner. Anyone have more information?

GF can't seem to get GaN right. They started with IMEC some years back, then bought a version from Ratheon, then the past few years have licensed or bought other flavors of GaN from TSMC and others. Why is GF wasting so much money to get a version of GaN working? Did they lose all their technology device/process talent? Something seems broken!!!

Just heard the Verizon sign in front of a certain run down office is being remove . Justt bad timing ??

is on a chopping block. Whether that be your team or certain people from your team.
Around my office, some groups have been asked to wfh until Friday and for some is business as usual.
