I was just in a meeting today with my director, he said there will be more rif’s at the end of February off payroll the end of March. 😤😤 he’s calling it a Nother bloodbath.

To rif or to is not to rif that is the question.
YES there were RIFs last April. I personally know of several ex-Verizon coworkers who were riffed. So it should not surprise anyone if there are 1st quarter RIFs in any given year.
Wasnt it more like 1600 as only IT and network were affected and only in the US
Does anyone have any firm backup for the 16K laid RIFd figure? While we've had some posts here talking about groups having 10% or more cut, that 160K includes union and offshore employees who I'm sure weren't cut anything like that (if at all).
"Of course the RIF's will continue. Tell me why Verizon needs over a 160,000 employees. They could run this place with half the headcount."
What "place"? Work isn't getting done, customers are not being taken care of in the division I work for. In some cases a whole department was removed and nobody has access (even if they had the time) to do what they were doing.
We're talking numbers and a dart board. Somewhere at the top they decided people weren't needed -- they have no clue what they actually did for the company.
The 160,000 number doesn't apply anymore.
At least 16,000 were just laid off. 160,000 - 16,000 = 144,000
Of course the RIF's will continue. Tell me why Verizon needs over a 160,000 employees. They could run this place with half the headcount.
@2ptq just remember this post and my name and find me on here in April.
Yes, as every year. 1st Qtr will have another rif.

Thats it for this contract? Got it? Or are you so moronic you're gonna start a new thread asking the same goddamn question I've already answered 4 times on here since september?
"is not rif" I'm picturing a caveman.

i'm picturing a indian guy in his late 20s, stone faced with a moustache who almost never speaks who just says "is not rif" in response to anything.

Is not rif.
When will there be an EISP for outside wireline forces?
The next wave of approx. 1200.
Yep. Another RIF in 1Q18. Will be about 5 percent.
