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"
