R2B/b2b update

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


Legal note

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.


Does anyone know anyone impacted yet?

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.


Thought loyalty, ratings & experience mattered

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.


Want to know who was recently laid off?

Not sure if this still works as I left the firm around a year ago to work for a fully remote brokerage (best decision in my career)… After someone gets laid off, their department changes in their profile to LABOR DECISIONS for 60 days before it deactivates. In outlook you can just search the keyword “LABOR” under department in the global contact list and leave everything else blank, and the list of all recently laid off employees will populate. Sometimes it takes a couple days after the layoff for it to update. Have fun!
