I don’t understand this! Whats all this fuss about layoffs happening? There has been no such indication about layoffs. I’ve seen newly hired college grads in BH recently. They are already cutting costs by hiring them (affordable resource)instead of laying off experienced ones.
Its thanksgiving! People have families and don’t want to live in the state of constant fear.
Tldr: No layoffs hinted or happening in BH and let ppl live peacefully!
Any one get cut?
The way this was handled is a disgrace, especially for a "communications" company. Verizon has been losing customers by the hundreds for months now and their solution is to cut Operations. Some markets are down to a few guys for entire states. Way to put the customer first, Verizon. Bravo.
Can they cut 13k people in a single day?
Got the axe this morning. Band 8 Engr. Was doing the work for higher band team members. It is ironic that Dan wants to get leaner and perform better but keeps bloat that has been here for nearly a decade, but kicks younger employees to the curb.
Mid-Markets to be cut in half. Calls have already been sent out of EST. This will be a total shake up, if you survive you will not have the same title or job scope Jan 1. Get prepared for them to make more money on your backs.
They are coming from every direction right now. This is nuts. Not a great way to do this in my opinion.
Meeting Invites being sent out today. From what im hearing there is going to be a trimming of the fat. RIF's for Christmas!
Layoff is happening in WDC. Any thoughts in Seagate?
I’ve pretty much accepted I’m probably getting canned today. No performance issues, just not the type to su-k up. If my direct leadership has any say in the cuts, I’m definitely on the list.
Honestly, I just hope they actually cut the bloat for once. Leaders are making way more than the rest of us, and one cut at their level could save a bunch of our salaries. We’re the ones doing all the work. Have you seen how many Band 5 and 6 leaders have zero direct reports on Inside Verizon lately? It’s ridiculous! How the he-l did we end up back here after 2015?
What happens to health benefits when we're laid off? Do we get any kind of coverage or do we get cut off immediately?
Will there be more layoffs in Berlin and other parts of international? It is a good time to get rid of employees with high salaries and perm contracts due to Ironclad laws in Germany like how it was done in Milan. Otherwise the Ellisons will have to live with them forever.
Curious to know if anyone’s heard any feedback on how they’re making these decisions. Will it be our direct manager deciding who gets cut?
AD told his team Monday the organization would have a 20% cut on Thursday. Said he didn’t know who, but told the team to be prepared for what is coming.
Former Hessie in transitional role. It's been 7 weeks and we are abandoned in the Hess building incommunicado. Not a one of us has been contacted by our new CVX managers. Logging on while collecting a paycheck just in case. 👀
I spoke with some CVX transitional people (former coworkers of mine from a past life) and they too have been cast off from their original team and left in the lurch.
No one understands why they kept us on the payroll but I suppose it's a good problem to have if I don't die from boredom. No plan for us whatsoever. Thank god my tenure ends in 1 month. I pity the ones being held hostage till summer awaiting severance.
This is the strangest layoff I've ever seen/lived thru in more than 20 years (and 2 of those were CVX acquisitions in the 2000s).
Sounds like a bunch of agency’s had cuts/layoffs today 11/19. The ELT team is all in the Omaha office. Will we be next?
The layoffs, announced Tuesday, affect employees across Providence’s hospitals, outpatient clinics and its insurance arm, Providence Health Plan.
Most of the eliminated positions do not involve direct patient care, officials said, but they did not indicate which services or locations would be affected.

Anyone under Massimo know if that org got gutted?
Anyone hearing anything?
Has anyone noticed Belk has drastically reduced the amount of labor hours for the stores this holiday?!
I have to say, the leadership at Verizon has done some UTTERLY stupid things. Yet nothing happens to them... For example this Frontier debacle. Buy Yahoo/AOL? Really? Blue Jeans? No one even knows that that is? Why buy Blue Jeans when Zoom, MS Teams, and Google Chat were already well established? Just d-mb...
Really bad decisions and the employees are left with the fallout. Mr. Hans gets his golden parachute... just like those before him.
Dan is simply using Elon's model of slash and cut (e.g. Twitter/X). The problem that Dan doesn't understand is that an application only has so many facets. A network the size of Verizon is extremely complicated and can't be compared to a phone App, but he doesn't care. He's a short-timer.
Best of luck to you people. The job market is good if you live in Texas. If you don't, it is more challenging. You'll find something but maybe not at the pay you're currently making.
Are there any layoffs today? I have had counterparts from other banks ask if I was impacted by the US Bank layoffs today…
I have not heard anything about a layoff, so maybe it’s a rumor?
So the big "integration" of the Network orgs is going just super. The two SVPs who now run the combined mess apparently can't figure out what to do with us. Heard through the grapevine they just hired a big-name consulting firm to "evaluate the organizational design and operating models."
The kickoff meeting was yesterday. Feels familiar, right.
This seems to be the classic move when leadership doesn't actually have a plan. They pay a few million to a bunch of people who don't understand our business to come in and tell them what to do. The word is they're going on a "listening tour." They'll probably make a bunch of pretty charts and graphs that basically say we have too many people doing overlapping work.
It looks like a way to get cover for the cuts they already wanted to make. Now they can say "the data suggested" we need to streamline. The whole thing has that distinct passive-aggressive vibe. Instead of just making a tough call, they're bringing in a third party to do it for them. It's like they ordered a pour-over at a coffee cart and then asked the barista to taste it first to make sure it's good.
Maybe I'm just being cynical. An outside perspective could actually spot some real inefficiencies, I guess. But let's be real. This is likely just the first step. If you're on a team that's been a pain to get resources for, or your projects have been in "wait and see" mode since the SVP shake up, I'd be updating the resume.
This is usually how it starts. Heads up.
Saying “the strategy is working” feels almost like a joke. Illumina’s board has made a string of questionable decisions — approving the Grail acquisition despite clear EU regulatory risks, then later giving in to activist pressure and spinning it off at the lowest possible value. They brought in a CEO from a company with a decade-long track record of minimal innovation and stagnant growth. Now the focus has shifted to aggressive cuts in both capex and opex, trying to make margin expansion the only story to sell in the absence of real growth. RIFs have practically become an annual event.
Given all this, calling the current strategy a success is hard to take seriously.
Target will be laying off 2,000 more employees due to the decline in store sales because they sell perverted GLBT themed merchandize and promote weird unnatural trans ideology.
I've been told by a few people I have nothing to worry about because I'm one of the newer hires and this layoff will target those with higher pay, meaning people who've been at Verizon for a while. Is this true? I'd like to believe it, but I'm too scared to get my hopes up.
Anybody laid off in Aconex
Does anyone know when the towers layoff will occur? If you don’t know can you give your best estimate's ? Just trying to prepare myself. What percentage of business and dnd folks do you think will be affected?
RIFs will continue to happen, but does anyone know if there will be cuts from either Tech / Care or Case Mgmt for this round?
Apparently, there were some layoffs yesterday. Will it continue today and throughout the week or is that it?
Have you seen the discounts on Nike.com? Earlier than usually with higher discounts than ever. Pinnacle product like alphafly 3 and new introductions like Metcon are offered there in a way that it hurts to see. That together with the removal of wellness week and 4 week work from abroad shows that Nike is on a bad trajectory , worse than anticipated.
Yes, there were many Senior Directors Cut today. That's a fact. Our org has been impacted by the news today. Called some of my coworkers in different states. Same story.
Why are you downvoting the facts? Because it doesn't line up with your bullsh-t timeline?
Ya'll don't know jack sh-t and keep posting the same cr-p over and over again.
Dan go you running around scared shitless.
The fifth round of layoffs since 2022 comes despite a net profit of about $39 million in the third quarter.

No specific date yet, but most teams have started to submit names for the early Q1 cut. Very frustrating to see that workforce cuts are proceeding despite a “great” Q3 earnings performance.
What do we collectively know so far?
When is the next round and who will be affected?
Can’t support a company upending American workers’ lives while stuffing the execs pockets with millions.
Just switched over 4 lines this weekend and convinced 4 other family members to switch to T Mobile.
The best part is that T Mobile is in fact cheaper for everyone. So it’s a win - win.
Thats the only way to save the sinking stock. Just like the layoffs before last earnings.
Seeing that long timers were pushed out makes it clear how little this place cares. Some of these folks built their whole careers there. They could’ve offered early retirement or a way to leave on their own terms, but they didn’t. It’s a rough way to treat people who showed up for decades.
