Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

First full week of 2026 begins tomorrow! Let's get up to speed.

Reality: Will there be continued confusion, rearrangement of organizations with no benefit, outsourcing, gaslighting, propaganda, customers leaving, post it notes and RIF's? Yes. And now you are up to speed.

What you will hear: "We are set up for success in 2026 after making some tough decisions last quarter. We will continue to decrease cost and add customer value through the implementation of Artificial Intelligence. Our network continues to outperform our competitors and we continue to provide value to our shareholders through quarterly dividends. We are talking to the Union and working on that contract and feel good about it. No I cannot provide you any information on the new structure and how the work of those RIF'd will be handled. Here are some interns to tell you how great Verizon is. Last but not least, we would like to recognize employee X. This person worked hard and sold something last year. This does not mean they will keep their job, but does allow us to demonstrate how we are really great leaders by publicly recognizing someone."

If you find yourself clapping, using noise makers and waving a foam finger, please seek help.

@OP Ha ha. Old retired guy who watches this site for incite on why my hard work is being destroyed. Do they still have the big kick offs where they gather thousands of employees and have a happy hour, vendors, etc.? Those were actually fun. What was the message during this year's kick-offs? Focus on the fundamentals? We are an "and" company?
