#impacted

I always thought ISG = Inside Sales Group and CSG = Channel Sales Group, but apparently neither are sales related... Still don't know what they are but, why are those groups seemingly always hit so hard?

What did they do to pi-s off the Dell "gods?"

Wonder if anyone got impacted? Or IT is saved for February layoffs?

Hearing some chatter that Dana may have sold its OpenECU business and few roles may have been impacted as a part of transition. No official confirmation yet.

Has anyone else heard anything or have more details?

Has anyone else heard anything?

Most of what I’ve heard and read points to areas such as sales, marketing, operations, etc being impacted. How about analytics?

I received notice Wednesday morning that my position was eliminated, it is now Friday night and I have not heard from HR regarding what next steps are. Anyone else in this situation?????

How many jobs were lost at IAD 21 in this most recent RIF?

Myself and some other others just got laid off. More to come as the company goes down

less than a year would be crazy

We already lost a few people on my team a few hours ago and it's been quiet since. Should I take that as a good sign for the rest of us?

Anyone know how much WellMed/Optum Florida will be impacted this week?

When are the 15 min meeting notices put on your calendar? Morning of layoff day? Night before? Also, do they tell you when to go in the office to pack up your personal stuff? Do you have to give back home monitors? Would like some additional insights from someone who was impacted. Thx

“We are continuously evaluating our business operations to ensure alignment with long-term strategic goals,” CRL spokesperson Amy Cianciaruso, said by email Dec. 26. “A key part of that strategy is evaluating our workforce to ensure we have the right people, in the right place, at the right time. We are working with impacted employees to provide the necessary resources to help them through this period."

I have to say I was quite affected by all of the farewell emails that came in today.

I feel bad for the long-term employees who now have to look for a new job and will certainly face ageism.

I feel bad for the impacted who don't live in a major job market. That will be an uphill battle to find a comparable corporate job.

But I feel especially bad for a couple of peers that were with VZ for less than a year. One was a contractor and was very excited to land a VZ full-time offer. His kid had major medical issues, so he was finally happy to have good benefits.

The other was a guy recently divorced supporting 3 kids. He was also a contractor that went perm. Both are in their late 50s so will have a tough time finding new full-time work.

I know this is the downside of choosing corporate life, but it still really stings. And I would be naïve to think that I'll be safe much longer.

Hi gang - question for those who may know or who may have heard anything…. What are the impacts looking like for internal US base call centers? I have heard they want to close or consolidate OFFSHORE/GLOBAL CENTERS, but have not heard anything here about the centers here in the US?

What roles may be impacted? Senior manager? Director? Team manager? Coaches? Would love to hear some credible responses.

I’m so sorry for everyone impacted, especially with this happening just days before Christmas. Try not to let it get to you. It will all work out in the end. You’ll likely look back and be glad you left this place behind.

It is with a heavy heart that I post the waiver approval pushed by the AAR....It is unfortunate that those who currently sit in charge of official agencies make it no less than a perfect storm for the railroads to get what they want. I do not yet know the current status for the waivers for signal inspections, but they are sure to get approved as well.

Geometry cars are already being set aside, and some track inspectors are to be impacted slowly until %'s are satisfied.

Layoffs will commence the December 19,2025 - January 30,2026

Polish up those resumes lots of new opportunities out there. One thing they can’t do is take away your talent so there loose and another’s win.

List of states impacted
Georgia
Florida
Alabama
Massachusetts
New Hampshire
New Mexico
Rhode Island
Vermont

Best of luck

I'm surprised that more impacted retail employees aren't pushing back especially directors. Do you know why you were chosen? If not, have you asked?

Which groups were impacted and locations?

I had to sacrifice two members of my team in OI, and I am absolutely disgusted by it. They did nothing wrong, and if I hadn’t submitted names, my manager would have.

I’m so sorry for everyone who will be impacted right before the holidays. Please don’t wait to get the notice—start applying now so you have a pipeline of opportunities going into the new year.

A large number of director+ in Network Technology let go today.

I am in Reuters Technology and got affected 3 days ago. What a way to get canned right before Christmas!

Has anyone found accurate information on how to see the details of the $20 million assistance fund for those impacted? If I have missed it in the packet and or here on the forum then shame on me.

All impacted and gone as well as impacted mentally from this BS and are staying employed should go to Glassdoor and absolutely annihilate the Verizon review of both the company and Dan the Hatchet man! Let our real pulse survey be heard!

What areas are expected to be impacted this week?

To all NYS employees impacted and investigation is underway as to why 90 days were not provided to us. Contact the NYSDOL to file a report or inquire about any updates warn@labor.ny.gov

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

To those impacted, by accepting the severance, you are not able to take legal action against Verizon. If you have something that you’ve been afraid to speak up on that has legal ramifications, consult with an attorney before accepting the severance.

It’s not fair to say all of Verizon is shady. There are shady leaders. Some who continuously get away with things even after valid reports to HR.

I work for a reseller in New England and work with an amazing team out of the Tulsa office. Does anyone know if the Tulsa VPS Credit and Collections team was affected?

I was informed I was impacted but have not received the email with the links, etc.

Anyone have the link to the severance portal?

Thursday came around quick. Anyone impacted this week or know of anyone? Someone said ~10 in GCAS tech but I would think more for just before December starts. Thoughts with those that are and have been laid off.

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.

Like the title says, some people in network have been given word that their 3rd shift that's impacted will know tonight, and dayshift will be told tomorrow.

Our group - not a whisper, besides what's in the news

Band 7 in both organizations

I always believed that loyalty, tenure, experience, integrity, and consistently high performance meant something. I thought those things mattered — that they protected you, or at least earned you some consideration. Turns out, they don’t. I’m being laid off too.

What hurts the most is knowing I’ve always operated with integrity. I’ve done things the right way — by the Credo, by our customers, and by the business. I never cheated, inflated numbers, or gamed the system. I focused on doing what’s right for the customer and what’s right for the company — because both matter. I brought real value without taking shortcuts, and I truly believed that mattered. Apparently, it doesn’t.

Meanwhile, it’s hard not to notice that some who openly cheat the process and play the commission game stay untouched. People who push $10 routers customers never asked for — hurting the customer relationship and the company — will keep their jobs. And yet someone with strong results year after year, both individually and as a leader, is cast aside like I’m expendable. It’s hard to make sense of that.

I also can’t understand how this company thinks it will continue to operate without the great minds and passionate people customers actually rely on. We’ve always been told customers don’t just want the cheapest price — they want people who care, who solve problems, who think creatively, who build relationships. Yet somehow, those are the exact people being treated like numbers on a spreadsheet.

Watching the company cut individuals who are true assets — people who carry this place on their backs — is a travesty. And it’s not just today. More cuts are coming, and many who truly matter will be ignored or pushed out sooner or later.

I’ve thought about leaving before — especially with so many disconnected decisions and poor ideas happening around me. But I stayed because I believed in my team, in our customers, and in the value we brought. At least now I’ll walk away with a big payout — and I can be grateful for that. But it’s painful knowing others will get tiny packages and rely entirely on this paycheck to support their families.

Verizon, you’re making a huge mistake. Customers will feel this. The problem was never the people — it was the decisions. Dan once told us that “employees are Verizon’s most important asset.” Seeing the company treat us like costs to eliminate proves how empty that statement was. Customers do want us. They want the expertise, the honesty, the relationships. Cutting the people who provide that is not the answer.

For me personally, I trust this will ultimately be a good thing. But for the company? The consequences are coming — and customers will be the ones to say it out loud.

Has anything been confirmed?

Is Verizon India impacted because the news mentions US layoffs?

Accounting, fpa, reporting&policy?
