Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

VZI Get ready to Brace on Dec 3rd or 4th- Its Huge

Approximately 2000 employees are part of this Layoff. All those who had approaching and needs improvement are on the list. If the 20 to 25% numbers are not met ,all other rules come into play. Be prepared. Training session for Directors and ADs will be given tomorrow or Tuesday and announcement will be post that. VCG is going to be badly affected. VBG, N&T, VCG Business, CSG, are equally affected by avg of 20% AI&D with the least by 15%.
There are going to be changes in AVP, Senior Directors , Directors when the Agile delivery to be rechristened with one more useless way of execution supported by all leaders who follow them BLINDLY coz they want to "try".
This org will only sustain when all leaders above Sr. Manager stop focusing on defects and start focusing on strategy, with inclusion at all levels get the inputs from all rather than "designated" architects whom they think can change the entire world. The team that is responsible for all this is the ATO and its futile process implementation which is not studied but rather theoretical. BTW i am Top performing for the last 2 years. so all the above is a frustration of me going to stay here with a load of work, loss of knowledge from so-called "non performers", loss of vendors who had been in the system for more than 2 years . Everything is boiling down to the people who are going to stay. A meagre call will be done under senior director or AVP to boost "MORALE" which they think all others are fools for their gimmick to be played. Its a wake up call for people like me to move on. Verizon is going into a blackhole which will also pull us into it, while many think this is safe haven. All that matters is "Shareholder Value" and nothing else. ALL EMPLOYEES ARE JUST NUMBERS. Get out of this number game.

Finally check this prompt in Gemini
"What if the 50% of the laid off people join T-Mobile or the 13000 people move their connections along with their family connections to T- Mobile"

@d6 - @"part of the criteria for this first batch were people who go against the grain or aren’t too indoctrinated."

In other words, incompetents who couldn't meet performance standards.

I heard from someone close to the first round that just happened that part of the criteria for this first batch were people who go against the grain or aren’t too indoctrinated.

Believe me or don’t, the first round needed to go bc they wouldn’t work without questioning like this next batch will right after Christmas

Numerous rounds of layoffs planned in waves. The first 13 were the lucky ones. The rest will be used and worked and then given the middle finger when the channels start consolidating.

The Wall Street Journal initially reported that there would be 15,000 layoffs. On November 20, we heard there would be 13,000 laid off. Could this be the other 2000?

Whether this layoff info is true or not, Verizon sounds like a "Snake Pit!"

I'm glad I'm not working at Verizon anymore as life is too short to drive yourself into the grave with stress.

It's no surprise then that so many Verizon employees suffer from Cardiometabolic conditions like high blood pressure and Type 2 diabetes; and mental health problems like depression and anxiety.

This environment to me is more "Black Friday' than going out shopping for one day sales.

Troll news , Shankar, Kakyani, Vivek, Sudarshan and the whole clan are built different,completely immune to all this nonsense. Thanos-level immunity.

Over time, the leadership environment surrounding Shankar has encouraged worship. This “yes-man” dynamic made it difficult for teams to voice concerns or propose alternative paths.

His prolonged involvement within VZI has now introduced substantial operational and strategic risk to both VZI and Verizon. Many critical decisions were made with limited scrutiny because people felt pressured to support his direction rather than question it.

Too many individuals focused on gaining his approval—believing that loyalty and admiration would secure visibility and success. The culture shifted from collaboration and accountability to impression-management.

Innovation took a back seat to praise.

Now, as the consequences of this mindset become visible, it is important for everyone involved to reflect on how a leader-centric culture can undermine strategic judgment. The very behaviors that once seemed advantageous — seeking recognition, showcasing achievements only when he was present — are now contributing to the challenges ahead.

Make no mistake — the current restructuring and layoffs, affecting potentially 1,500 to 2,000 employees, are a direct result of his leadership. Many individuals who focused more on pleasing leadership than strengthening their own capabilities or advocating for the business now find themselves facing consequences they never anticipated.
