#layoff

Here’s another worthless perspective from a former VZW sales leader.

Large and substantial layoffs like this take several months to plan and put together. There’s absolutely no way that these layoffs were Dan’s sole creation from 4 weeks ago. I’m positive Dan voted for the move, along with the other board members, back when this was originally conceived and decided. This isn’t something you just cook up over a 3-day weekend.
Dan is doing what he should do in this situation and that’s simply taking accountability for the direction that VZ is heading for. That’s what good leaders do. It also won’t hurt that Dan will be much more effective in selling these changes to the street.
This really su-ks for everyone; I know because it happened to me in 2019. I’m praying for everyone that has or will be impacted. I have friends and family that are patiently waiting (not sleeping) for tomorrow’s meetings.
Good luck and peace.

Hey guys I report to Dean Brauer from what I understand it’s going to hit hard your immediate teams will be cut in half. So everyone your with today only half will be there next week good luck v teamers

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

As for me, I can’t see the silver lining in any outcome. I used to think I’d be relieved to be let go with a bit of money, but now I’m just anxious about what happens next if I am laid off.

Anyone hearing anything?

You can almost smell it in the air!

Are there any layoffs today? I have had counterparts from other banks ask if I was impacted by the US Bank layoffs today…
I have not heard anything about a layoff, so maybe it’s a rumor?

spoke to the executives and said they are trying to make more room for 5 days in office and also fannie mae is very bloated he said. i suggest you all to be prepared to find new jobs. huge wave incoming

Hello. I have money and am losing my work passion. It’s mostly as a result of workload and how frustrating it is to accomplish the most basic of things.
If I volunteer for lay off, what are the implications? Is the severance one year for someone with 25 years of service? Am I going to give up a good bonus score? I know scores are manipulated to achieve certain payouts. I am on the fence about continuing here, but I know I am very good at my job.

Can somebody please explain to me why are people getting laid off already? I thought this was supposed to be one major round starting on Thursday, and I keep seeing mentions of this or that already being laid off - and I'm not talking about managers here. What's going on?

Are they sticking to plan to let people go by specific seniority bands and dates? Someone shared a doc with me that says tomorrow it’s only VPs and Sr Directors. Then the next level down the following week etc.

I guess the LL5 hates me? This was after I requested to go part time. A setup to put me on a PIP?

If I don't get a call today or tomorrow by 10am and I don't get any weird blocked invites - can we assume we are getting RIFd?

My original assumption is that fully remote workers are going to get laid off soon since this guy is adamant about enforcing full RTO. But who knows these days..

Welp, looks like ECRL is the next dept going to be laid-off according to his Town Hall. All I heard was 2026. Anyone have a more specific timeframe when this will happen?

Across my career, leadership has pulled the same tired scare tactics… threatening people with unemployment, dangling PIPs, and handing out code-of-conduct write-ups like candy. It’s always the same script: intimidate the workforce and hope fear keeps everyone quiet.

Then Dan strolls in and casually tosses out ‘layoffs’ like it’s his fun fact of the day. Another pressure play. Another attempt to make people sweat.

Well, on behalf of every corporate employee who’s done being toyed with: Dan, you can’t threaten us with a good time. I’m not lurking on this forum because I’m scared of losing my job. I’m here waiting on my check. And honestly? Even if you don’t lay me off, I’m out the door after my FMLA anyway.

Target will be laying off 2,000 more employees due to the decline in store sales because they sell perverted GLBT themed merchandize and promote weird unnatural trans ideology.

For those that are impacted by the reduction in force, please check or have someone go over the severance agreement to see if there's a timeframe set for a non-compete clause. This would include verbiage regarding a timeframe of which you may be illegible for employment by a similar company offering a similar or slightly different role. While some states do have limitations on this, please exercise due diligence.

Example: You may be barred from working in a telecom or similar company for a period of six months before they would consider hiring you. You would go through the whole interview process, but then get hung up during the final selection due to this.

Heard about the big rif coming...
The company is sinking, and they are doing whatever they can to save the investors.

Keep in mind.

Your manager does not care as long as its not them
The company does not care, you are a number.
You will find something else, and be much happier.
The company is NOT what it once was, greed and horrible management along with the BS surrounding the whole COVID and WFH was the icing on the cake.
Hans ruined Erickson, did the same to VZ
Stores are useless....and a total waste of money.

If you were smart, you took advantage of the education allowance and got a degree or did training on their dime to enhance your knowledge to take it somewhere else.

good luck, you'll be fine

just a quick reminder that you could be asked to leave immediately...

Anyone know of any rifs for case management?

"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)."

Is Verizon India impacted because the news mentions US layoffs?

Are layoffs taking into account the immigration status of employees?
I don’t wish a layoff for anyone but when it comes to it I would appreciate if US citizens get preference.

Layoffs in Platform Engineering? It’s been slow..

Biggest market layoffs will occur in South Florida and the Carolina's

Heard it from my peers who work close to Jerome.

40 stores will be depleted.

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.

If the union folks pass on this lame offer will there be a forced reduction? Contrary to what most of you believe. We don’t all have a no layoff clause. And we are not all under the same union contract.

Does it hit with the next pay period or does it usually come later?

Our weekly team meeting on every Tuesday just got rescheduled to Nov 21st Friday for this week. Maybe they wanna accommodate the Nov 20th layoff day? Not looking good.

Anyone else have an AD ask to meet Thursday randomly. Man I’m not doing jack sh-t the rest of the day.
