How is it going in Verizon India

Leaders are clueless. Everything is a priority as everyone needs to save themselves. No support from your supervisor. Only burnout remains with us. Layoff or rebadging dates are mystery.

Save yourself and find an opportunity outside. Otherwise you will also be thrown out as Shankar's photo from cafeteria. Don't get used in place where is absolute no clarity. Invest only on yourself


The layoffs can be stopped

To know you‘re close to the end is a kind of freedom

You don’t know how strong you are until strength is your only option

It is difficult to get people to demand change when their salary depends on them not understanding it

We are replaceable, but our unique value can make us irreplaceable if we fight together

Who will step up and create a voice for us to demand change? I‘ll be waiting patiently.


Technology Layoffs Today

The Ohio and Riverwoods based Discover Card Technology teams took a decent hit today. Sent them an email to join a meeting this morning and gave them the news, then said there would be a meeting later in the day with the severance details. It’s late in the day and still no details - lol. Class act!


Maersk Layoffs: 1,000+ Jobs Cut After 2025 Losses

The global container shipping industry is at a pivotal moment.

The Danish shipping company recently announced a workforce reduction of over 1,000 employees, following a challenging 2025, signaling a shift towards a novel phase characterized by fleet overcapacity, declining freight rates, and the need for structural adjustments.

Walgreens Accelerates Restructuring as Sycamore Partners Intensifies Store Closures and Corporate Layoffs

In a move that underscores the continued volatility of the American retail pharmacy landscape, the newly private Walgreens Boots Alliance has announced a significant expansion of its workforce reductions and a finalized timeline for its massive store closure initiative. Under the leadership of the private equity firm Sycamore Partners, which completed a landmark $10 billion acquisition of the company in August 2025, Walgreens is slashing hundreds of additional corporate roles and shuttering a major distribution hub as it battles the systemic pressures that have already claimed several of its former peers.

Not sure which is the worse option

If I'm laid off, I have to deal with one of the worst job markets in a long while but at least there's severance to lessen the pain. If I'm not laid off but others on my team are, at least I'll still have a job but at what price? We'll be expected to pick up the extra work and I highly doubt we'll be getting any kind of extra compensation. And I'm overworked as it is. There's really no good option here.

RRP and Laid Off Question

Hello

Would appreciate any information someone can give me. I was unfortunately laid off; effective November 13, 2025. I remained employed past the September qualification date. My Severance agreement DID NOT state anything about receiving or not receiving an RRP. My question, is there someone here who has been laid off and told they would be receiving their RRP? I called the employee resource line and the rep seemed convinced that I should get it...just looking for another opinion... Thank you in advance

Severance

Can anyone share severance amount in terms of months given? We should help each other in terms of fairness. I know there are difference regulations by countries, so if you could just share the amount you received and whether there is a formal regulation about severance in your country.
Thank you.

Quiet layoffs at CTC

Layoffs appear to have resumed at the Celle Technology Center. Unfortunately, there is no transparency regarding the scale of these reductions or the strategic path forward. It is disappointing to see the Works Council remain so quiet; At the very least, don’t they have a responsibility to inform the people they represent!
