Thread regarding Verizon Wireless layoffs

How prepared are you in case of layoff?

I heard some rumors about imminent layoffs but I don’t care even if they are true. I am mentally ready for that, and I have left aside some savings. I have been preparing for months, since the pandemic began. Some people are in a panic as soon as they hear any rumor and do nothing to prepare. Incomprehensible.

Don’t ‘self terminate’. You’re better than VZ. Economy is already starting to spin back up which will lead to more places you can go.

Hope you're not actually seriously considering taking your life if Verizon lays you off. Some days I think I'd be happier working at Mc Donald's. Reach out to someone or take a leave and find another job.

I could see the writing on the wall over a year ago. So I invested in a resume and got me a real job. I see that Verizon is making front line workers fastfood like jobs.

You should always have at least 90-120 savings for must pays.

Yes stop buying made in China junk shoes, cars you can pay for and other c-ap.

No debt except mortgage ✅
6 month emergency fund ✅
Living by the 30 50 20 rule ✅

No shortage of poor decision makers at my store though. One only needs to look at the parking lot to see the financial foolishness.
