Failed at maximizing stock price and layoffs…yes layoffs, his team, working with consultants, made the recommendations where and when to cut. And…sorry to say this…cuts were not deep enough. Expect 5-10k more in the coming months. Peace out.

There was a recent director meeting which was stated "we have to many sales manager" expect cuts here.

Sometimes I can’t tell if this company is a giant parody or not. Whoever is leading TA/HR is missing brain cells

They have to cut at the bottom to keep creating new senior roles. Developers in my group get RIFd and more bloat gets added

Just saw layoff codes via IT back in mid August and then multiple the last couple days. So the 30 to 45 day time frame was set into motion again like the last couple big layoffs going back to November 2025 is in play. I know Senior Leadership is meeting in-person this week. So timing for everything makes sense, Sr. Leaders are mapping out lists and numbers based on HR cuts this week. This gives them an overview of the current and future state, also allows for possible substitutions if they want to keep someone. Another red flag was an email saying don't talk outside VZ, this makes it obvious something is coming soon.

Honestly, I’m pi---d.

Today we found out our CEC is closing. A lot of us have spent YEARS here. We knew something was coming, hiring slowed down, positions stopped being backfilled, and our headcount kept dropping. But hearing that we’re actually closing still hits different.

Now we’re being moved into another CEC.

And that means our teams get combined, opportunities get smaller, and there are fewer admin, CM and Sr. Manager roles for us to move into.

Then you look at the store closures and the push toward “digital first.”

So much for Frontline First.

We’re constantly told not to worry and that every change is just “consolidation.”

But we’re the ones watching our teams get smaller and our options disappear.

Maybe this really is just one CEC.

But if you’re sitting in another CEC thinking this has nothing to do with you…

I’d be paying attention.

Because when they need fewer buildings, they need fewer people to fill them.

And I really hope I’m wrong about what comes next.

99 year leases on 1f to VZW.. frontier purchases. Selling dark fiber, how long before the wireless side is divested? Clearly they keep reducing non union employees numbers to make it a much more appealing sell and locking in the fiber leases secures revenue. The ducks are in a row

Considering 93% of households have FCC Broadband and 98% of USA citizens 18+ have a cellphone in USA.... the Broadband/Mobile markets become a price driven commodity play.

Think Head Count reduction, Mergers, Aquistions...

Simple as that. Make RTO mandatory 5 days a week and 20% of the workforce would leave voluntarily. Easy as that.

I am hearing more layoffs from my manager on the network side coming in October. Regions will be combined to reduce head count.

Jeff Silverstri QA head is retiring. Thank you for trying to put quality first at BD. In spite of the messaging from above our commitment to quality is reflected by our too frequent recalls, FDA 483 and warnings letters. Head count reductions to QA and support staff. - the next guy in line will do just that, get in line. Cash in and cash out, platitudes and all.

With headcount reduction ongoing if you dropped this year then don’t plan on anything improving going forward. The question is how quickly will you reach NSI?

Thoughts? Still a headcount reduction strategy?

It was confirmed that instead of "lumpy" layoffs every 4-5 years that they plan to reduce headcount yearly in a "less lumpy" and "more smooth way," whatever the he-l that means. There was a lot of time spent explaining this. Any other areas of the company confirm that they're still planning to reduce headcount every year?

Oracle reportedly considering a new round of layoffs.

Business Insider says some teams at the company could be cut by double digit percentages.

The company reportedly wants to reduce head count by the beginning of September.

Oracle cut 21,000 jobs between the middle of 2025 and 2026. That was about 13% of its workforce.

The past this past March, the company told employees it would shed jobs as it faced investor pressure over raising debt for its A I build out.

I know the rumor mill runs strong, especially since there is zero transparency. read a comment here that said 4900 layoffs were this week.

But if "4 out of 5 Centeamers who will be leaving are part of the VSP", is true - that means what, almost 25,000 overall reduction in headcount?

there's no way this is right. if so, GOOD LORD.

Finally heard a real number; a 40% to 50% reduction in onsite engineering at the manufacturing sites by ~2030. Already importing folks from KL and BTC to fill key business team rolls onsite. Soon XOM will be run from Malaysia and India. Prepare your resumes.

From our product team, almost everyone is gone except a tiny handful. The product is basically dead. I’m hearing bit cuts from other groups too, though not as extreme as ou

Is this just a headcount reduction exercise? If so, what happens to new product development or even basic maintenance? Do VP/SVP really think AI tools can replace entire teams, or have they just given up and started trimming ISG to make it look cleaner for a sale?

Anyone up in the food chain have any thoughts on this?

Rumors said today was going to be a bloodbath, how many were hit? What are the numbers you're hearing?

Dell filed w the sec on the amount the layoffs will cost the Company

They are hiding it by running monthly layoffs below x number of employees per month, so they would not need do publicly announce it. The AI is still sh-t and its bubble will bite them, can't wait 😆
