The next big project to eliminate jobs is 1 Verizon Data. Anyone working on this project is directly assisting the company/ruling class with its goal of destroying lives for the dividend. As much as leaders claim new types of jobs will emerge, the net impact is a job loss. They are lying to you saying otherwise. Don’t believe me? Ask the many so called long planned retirees that were later disclosed as involuntary layoffs in the proxy. The company lies to you constantly. The plans are clearly laid out in bright red and yellow 100 page decks.

let's be honest, most of the US IT staff is indian already. And I don't mean slight majority. My office is around 80-90% Indian.
“One VZ Data” give access to all USA customers /employees data to offshore. As I see that is a national security 🫤
Just watched a rah-rah #VTeam clip on LinkedIn on how VZ is moving more of these jobs to India ……. ie. India Telecom.
Is an example of “One Verizon Data” how we went from vzbi.com domains to verizon.com?
That is a very well thought out and well written comment. The amount of institutional knowledge lost through layoffs, VSP's and off shoring has been tremendous and has taken its toll on daily operations and has negatively impacted the customer's experience.

There’s been a lot of buzz around “Focus on 1 Verizon Data” — positioned as a strategic shift to unify all data across Network, Finance, Consumer, Marketing, HR, and Corporate under one architecture. On paper, it’s about efficiency, consistency, and smarter data governance.
But let’s call it what it really is: a sanitized framework for cost-cutting through labor offshoring.
Behind the dashboards and data lakes is a less-publicized reality:
• U.S.-based teams are being eliminated or forced into redundancy.
• Domain expertise is being lost as critical roles in data engineering, analytics, and QA are quietly transitioned overseas.
• Strategic insight is being traded for transactional execution.
This isn’t innovation — it’s labor arbitrage.
We’re not just talking about one program. We’re watching a slow hollowing-out of the company’s operational muscle. Decision-makers are increasingly removed from execution. Institutional knowledge is being replaced by rotating offshore consultants with limited context or ownership.
All under the banner of “efficiency.”
What’s lost:
• Speed to insight.
• Cultural and technical context.
• Employee trust.
What’s gained:
• Temporary line-item savings.
• Permanent disengagement.
The question isn’t whether offshoring saves money — it often does. The question is whether it builds anything sustainable in return. So far, the answer looks more like a slide deck than a strategy.
The concept sounds great. However, the same operational and finance leads that failed VGS are involved which brings doubt to the potential success of this project.
1 Verizon Data is just an effort to structure all Data from all domains (Network, Finance, Consumer, Marketing, HR, Corporate) under a single architecture for much more efficient data management.
The problem with this is the continuous off-shore labor for this work.
Not just this one but any job that is being replaced by off-shore labor.
