With Verizon laying off, what is the impact it has on Citi technology, Irving?

It’s here, go time. No guesses or speculation. What’s our organization going to look like at the end of next week and who’s impacted?

Any ideas?

Verizon is cutting about 168 jobs in Washington state, including analysts, engineers and retail workers. Many of the affected positions are at stores that are being divested or converted to franchise locations, which removes those employees from Verizon’s payroll. The article notes that the cuts follow wider restructuring at the company as it strives to improve financial performance and compete with rival carriers.

Just in time for the holidays, many U.S. employers have doled out pink slips. This recent move left thousands of Americans jobless and could have a ripple effect on the economy as a whole.

The Dallas Morning News is in a new wave of layoffs under its new owner.

Staff worry about the impact on local news coverage, it'll be less of it.

Everyone loses here. I guess someone makes moeny too.

Did Verizona’s standards team get impacted?

If I’m on leave during these two milestones, how am I impacted? I assume invectives were decided this past month and 401K match is just math, but does LOA impact receipt of either?

What work groups were impacted by the layoffs?

Fiserv being heavily dependent on H1B visa holders.. the new rule taking out the auto-renewal of H1B effective October 30 2025 could impact the overall workforce seriously.

"The end of H-1B automatic renewal for those filing after October 30, 2025, creates uncertainty for H-1B holders, as their work authorization will cease on their current card's expiration date, potentially leading to unemployment gaps while waiting for USCIS to process their renewal. This change can jeopardize careers and financial stability for both the worker and their employer. This impacts not only H-1B visa holders but also their dependents (such as those on an H-4 visa) who hold work permits based on their dependent status. "

Most of the account managers in the territory kept their jobs. We lost around 20% though. ADs got canned & we lost a couple of sr. managers. We had a bunch of account managers who lost stores to indirect, how ever their job was safe & were told to wait until they get assigned a new location. It seemed that r2b & b2b reps took the least hit. Who knows we still got 2026 march to worry about

To all the people that said r2b losing their job to the virtual reps ( i bet they were vcg haters)

Anyways sorry for the ones who got impacted.. i do hope you get a soft landing

Any Northern California people affected?

We have always put customers first!

Oh wait it’s Dan on Horseback.

…so sorry and heartbroken to read all these posts today. Best of luck to everyone impacted by this disaster to Verizon.

Any Tulsa folks impacted?

Many reps and ADs getting the news today. Calls will begin shortly with a larger announcement mid day

Was told 1/3 of the top 300 were impacted.

Verizon business group
If you were impacted, please post your details here. Letting us know your position would help greatly, especially us folks in the West coast.

I just logged in to end the waiting but I haven't received any and none of my coworkers received anything while I am pretty the team is impacted

did anyone in Texas(Irving) notification for layoff/survival?

Vz team- please use this thread to report if you are impacted. Let’s use the below format
Group—Band—last date
VCG—6–12/30/2025
VBG—7—1/14/2026

I’m a ASM in Atlantic south and curious what that means for me I’m in the Nashville area not saying E OR W lol don’t know who’s on here please reply with any info

Ime seeing a lot of what ifs and haven’t seen anyone confirm people being laid off. If you know someone can you confirm what the packages were? I’ve seen different roll out dates for different states and wanted to confirm if it’s true or if people are being laid off on the 20th of dec.

Legal team was massively impacted by rifs.

Anybody laid off in Aconex

Is Verizon India impacted because the news mentions US layoffs?

BGCO leadership in delulu land. They and the entire GCO leadership under Gina keep telling they are not impacted. Lol

Anyone knows the logistics of vgs? Impacted?

With today’s announcement, is there any estimate how many people are losing their jobs?

This is insane.

RIFs will continue to happen, but does anyone know if there will be cuts from either Tech / Care or Case Mgmt for this round?

I might be in the minority here, but I'm glad we were given some time before everything hits, even if the waiting is stressful and everyone’s nerves are shot. Getting blindsided with layoffs out of nowhere would have crushed me, and having at least some warning let me pull myself together, update my resume, check in with a few contacts, and take a hard look at my finances. It is not a huge amount of preparation, but it’s enough to give me a sense of control so that if I do get laid off, I will not feel like the floor just disappeared under my feet. A surprise layoff would have felt ten times worse, at least in my view.

As someone who has 8 lines with Verizon and I am sure a lot of employees are the same I expect Q4 2025 and Q1 2026 to be impacted by the laid off employees taking thier service somewhere else.

Don't worry though, Dan the hatchet man 🪓 and his PayPal minions got all of that figured with the impressive AI models that Dan exclusively seen and tested 😏

What about the vendor employees who are part of the core teams at Verizon will their be any impact on their jobs. They are still part of Verizon org chart

Given the huge RIFs at Verizon does anyone know what the impacts will be for Frontier?

Which functions and departments will get hit the hardest? Thoughts?

Even though employees get a company discount, I would expect to see more lines/service cancelled for those impacted with the upcoming layoffs..

Any news about layoffs in EMEA? Any other countries impacted or they are safe now?

First they look everyone who has active corrective actions such as PIPs, verbal, written, and final warnings and attendance issues.

Then they look at who on the team is rated as high potential, emerging talent, high professional, valued contributor, and low potential. Half you probably don’t know about these rating bc your supervisor is NOT obligated to inform you of this rating but you are given this rating each year.

Then they look at 2024 EOY rating such as developing, achieving, leading (the ratings your supervisor is required to disclose during your EOYs and mid years) as well as what you have been rated thus far for 2025.

Then they will go off historical performance and what your direct supervisor or AD has to say about you and their personal input.

They will not use any of this data at all if your position or location has been RIFd entirely. And therefore you are susceptible to still being let go if you are and have been a high performer.

Good luck.
