Are any internal departments actively filling positions?

I’ve been with this toxic cesspool of a company for about 6 years. How much severance will they give me?

I try to keep up with the stocks and stuff and it seems like we did so bad this year then i saw the other day that we lost another contract in Fla and then the tax credits for our market place plans are going away. And then the medicaid cuts are gonna lose us more members. does it feel like maybe this company won't be around very long?

Just heard of a handful of long time employees that were let go.

Those earnings calls just dropped and… WHEW. If you thought things looked “meh” before, baby, we’re about to enter the Ugly Season™. ANOTHER round of LAYOFF is creeping up like a bad jump scare, so please — do NOT get too cozy in that ergonomic chair.

The corporate Titanic isn’t just sinking… It’s speed-running straight into the iceberg, Kmart style!

So instead of whining, here’s your survival kit — Update that dusty resume. Polish your LinkedIn glow-up. Tap your network like your life depends on it — because it might

Move FAST, fam.

Winter is coming… and so is HR.

Currently working in technical team think about a change to the sales team next year. Can I make more money ? What's its like working in sales in the UK, they seem to do well ? What are the managers like ? Can they really earn these big ote that's banded about?
Also how long do you get to get deals on ?

Dan sits high in the tower of glass,
Counting figures, trimming mass.
A whisper travels down the line
“Another round… this time it’s mine.”

He speaks of progress, polished and clean,
Of AI’s future and a workforce unseen.
Two years back he warned the crowd,
“It will leave many jobless,” he said out loud.
Now here he stands, the prophecy man,
Not stopping the storm..he is the plan.

People who built the network’s frame,
Names and faces..now numbers, just the same.
Their keycards flicker, the screens go black,
But profits rise, and no one looks back

Dan calls it efficiency, a modern shift,
But to those he cuts, it’s a stolen gift..
Security, dignity, years of sweat,
All erased in a corporate reset.

And when the machines finally hum in place
Where voices once filled a bustling space,
Maybe Dan will stand alone and see
That progress without people is poverty.

For a workforce falls not loud, but quietly
In email threads, and HR calls,
While a man in a tower signs and enthralls.

History won’t ask about stock or demand,
But who remembered the hands that built the brand.
And someday, far beyond Verizon’s span,
They’ll tell the story of a man named Dan
Who knew AI would hollow the land…
And led the march of the unemployed band

"According to our information, Nokia France wants to remove 427 jobs using the collective conventional termination procedure. According to a union source, this represents nearly a fifth of the workforce, which amounts to about 2 300 employees at its sites in Massy (Essonne) and Lannion (Côtes-d’Armor)."

Are we done finally? Can I wake up happily assuming my job is safe?

It’s been a while we saw a big one and I am getting a sense it’s right around the corner. Anyone have more information?

Waiting to find out whether I’ll have a job to go back to weeks after a traumatic delivery… while still in FMLA/STD… AND a colicky newborn… so fun!

The way they’re doing this RIF is crueler than usual.

How many others have pivoted from "oh, God, please don't let it be me," to "fu-k it, give me my severance" since this all started?

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.

It was supposed to go live in February however, I guess sh!t didn't get done fast enough or something, and has been pushed back a quarter. I think it's May or something now, idfk... JC literally said "to be clear, this won't be pushed back further." - aka if it's not, heads will be flying.
At least that's what I've been told by someone who is part of the NDA thing, so i dont know how true this actually is.
but this NDA thing has been Dell's NUMBER 1 PRIORITY for the last year and so I'm worried because it got pushed back, this will affect raises, or even cause more layoffs than usual in Feb.

I see where the BRC union has signed the post merger job agreement. A question for anyone reading this that is an official in the union, what do these agreements say? What wording is there in these agreements that makes it worthwhile? Are the members voting on this? None of this is making sense. It seems strange to me someone that has cut about 10,000 jobs is interested in anybody’s job security.

Has anyone heard if the security teams will be affected, specifically those working under Mike Russo? Many of these teams are brand new teams build over the last year.

Anyone hear anything regarding internal care teams or case management/ert

I don’t know if that means I’m on the chopping block or safe or maybe they are gonna offer me a different position if riffed

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

This is insane.

Fed Rate cuts have (Never) -

Mattered.

For the stock market either, reference the 2008 Great Financial Crisis; for example.

In a deep recession, or (Worse) scenario.

This is where Treasury (Bessent) and the Fed are (Totally Wrong).

Verizon layoff next week - 15,000 employees (their Largest ever).

The employee-employer power balance has shifted firmly to the employer, according to Glassdoor’s 2026 Worklife Trends report — and it has prompted employees to reexamine their engagement in turn.

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

I've been searching everywhere for over a year, and nothing has come through. I only had two interviews in that entire period, and I was ghosted after both. I honestly don't remember the job market ever being this bad, and that just makes the idea of any upcoming layoffs feel even more terrifying than usual.

So many of us are sick to our stomachs dreading Thursday’s RIF Day! This wait is horrible!! How can you even think about the holidays with this kind of anticipation. This is horrible. Plus the reality is if we make it this round, we can expect it to happen prob almost every quarter over the new year. We are stuck! With the amount of people unemployed through all of the larger companies + government layoffs… how do people move forward? I expect the job market is horrible and unemployment gives a max of approx $400/wk.. how are people able to survive and support their families??

Most of the job cuts will come from Non-Union positions

I was laid off this time last year. I was with Dell in various sales roles for 20 years right out of college. I became an adult and professional with Dell. What I’m learning is my Dell skill set isn’t seen as that well trained or valuable to many other companies. Maybe it’s a bit of age discrimination as well, but surely being early 40s doesn’t mean I’m already retired from any tech job does it? I don’t know. I’ve been doing gig work to survive, but I used to have a real career, decent pay, benefits, savings, retirement, travel, dignity… feels like I’m worse than back to square one now. I feel like I’m going to lose everything I’ve spent two decades building in my life because I can’t find another job like what I had at the only job I’ve ever really known. I used to be the guy that had enough to help friends when they were hitting rough patches, now I’m the one always asking for favors. Sorry, just having a panic attack in the middle of the night because of all of this. I’ve applied to hundreds of places, even outside of tech in other sales fields, and I feel like I do great in the multiple rounds of interviews, just to get rejected or even worse, absolute crickets. I can’t go entry level in another totally different field because I’m either seen as too old to be an apprentice, or too over qualified (they feel) for an entry level thing. So how do I start over then?! I also have other friends and former coworkers that have been recently laid off, so now I feel like I’m competing with them for a role. It’s all so frustrating and frankly scary. Make it make sense. I just want to work again.

There are always the Layoffs that are Guaranteed to come after the Frontier merger— we are nowhere near done with the layoff musical chairs 🪑.

Roles will be spared! (Fingers crossed) Good vibes…

directors will know tomorrow AM whether or not they are canned. SHould we assume if the director is safe, our team is safe?

I can’t imagine a laid of AD calling to tell their director reports their fate.

I've heard this is not performance based, so what is it? How do they decide who to cut? Also, I hate that we have to wait until December to know if we still have a job or not. I don't get why they have to let us wait that long.

I’m afraid the holiday season will flop, and things will only get worse from there. Jobs are scarce, most of us have little to no savings, and there’s nothing to fall back on if it really hits hard. Maybe I’m anxious for no reason, but the vibe has never felt worse in my memory.

People were talking about cuts around holidays, what's going on with that?

What’s the schedule for finding out this week? Do SDs know or do they find out tomorrow or Tuesday? Does everyone else find out Thursday? How will it happen?

That's our reality now, and I admit, I'm not handling it all that well.
