My team has been reduced by 30% in the last year while Oracle GPT has not made us 30% more efficient. The people let go in the last layoff had been at Oracle a long time which has made things harder slower too. My job has turned into a death by meeting multitasking he-l.

I’ll be looking for other companies to work for if my team is reduced again.

Sites that have completed or close to completion with high split will be reduced before eoy..... this is for field groups and so on.

Anyone know if Verizon Connect (telematics) is part of the targeting Thursday reduction?

I've always believed Dan was brought in to be the fall guy for what the board really wanted to do. At least from a reduction standpoint. I think the never ending focus on AI is more him than the board because he sees himself as a visionary. Or he wants to be seen/remembered as a visionary. That said, the one thing I heard consistently (in addition to being a hatchet man), was that Dan was not a fan of outsourcing, yet we continue to do it. Why?

So has he really changed his methods or is this more the board's decisions and he's just the face of it now...? Did AI make him do it?

I had my manager call me today and ask for my skills and education background. He told me company is again further more looking at skills and determining who should be placed where. He never used the word layoffs or reduction. CIO tower.

Verizon needs to shed 8-10k more people to meet its 5B opex reduction by EOY. Maybe more when you factor in VZF.

Will see reductions in my backyard, planned for August. Full scope within MDT unknown.

The company will conduct reductions in force (RIFs) each month. There is a targeted headcount reduction that must be achieved based on forecasts designed to demonstrate that operating expenses are being managed and financial controls are in place.

For this round, approximately 90% of impacted employees will be notified by Thursday of this week, with a small number of notifications extending into next week due to colleagues being out on PTO.

Going forward, colleagues should expect RIFs around the same time each month. However, this month’s reduction is expected to be larger than usual, with a higher number of colleagues being affected.

My prediction is once Kyle Malady retires, you will see consolidation back to VZ 1.0 and then you will see mass reductions in overlaps across two orgs back to one.

I could be wrong but that’s where I believe this is headed / kind reason Sampath out and absorbed without replacement.

Let’s see how this all plays out …

35% - 40% reduction in force is what’s been being whispered in the halls.
