Been with Verizon for 22 years. The only year that we had to complete end of year appraisals in November, was 2025 and we lost a HUGE number of employees. Is that what is happening again? We used to do appraisals in January, now we are doing them in November again.

AI wrote me a kick a-s appraisal. Guess I’ll be around for the long term.
If they RIF by performance than YES, they will look at the employee's overall performance rating in determining who will get cut on the next round.
no one reads the text inserted in them. Groups went decades filling in the bare
minimum. one Directors assigned books to read for the entire organization. How many people actually completed the reading assignment: zero. How many employees on that team selected Completed on the year end review: All.
This post is BS. My bosses were RIFFed, along with most in the department we supported.
It is to stack rank for the February RIF and rebadge. Ask anyone who was on the first floor in Lake Mary this week. Our leaders flew in from all over to meet with plotting consultants and other leaders but barely had time for their own employees one floor up!!
YUP!!! Not only earlier than normal, but earlier to our bosses than the timeline calls for.
It's coming folks; it's coming.
@OP getting a head start on stack ranking prior to a RIF
No one reads but as a former Director I made sure all my directs had buzz words to protect them should they get a Rif after I was gone.
For example, we had 12 month quotas.. yet were tild do YE in 11 months.
If your Manager doesn't do this you can add your factual Comments on YE.
Just copy and paste what you did last year. No one reads them, your rating and bonus were already determined months ago.
They want info on every asset. Vehicles and equipment. Also offering bonus to do our work faster. Something is definitely up.
I was riff’d last Nov and never did a review.
Now that you say that it makes total sense. Ba----ds
This will be the biggest cut yet.
