Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Absolutely nothing will happen. We'll be fine, Trust.

I’m just waiting to get a package or not. Job already lined up, I started out of college just to get experience and I’ve gotten more than enough to move on. Just doing the minimum until the reaper knocks.

You would be smart to hedge your bets too. These people who aren’t will be the same ones saying they can’t find a job. Go figure why, everyone with your same experience is looking now.

dont worry its all rumors.Take it one day at a time.

Whatever happens it’s meant to be.

@ac oh yes! I updated my résumé yesterday. It’s really a shame because I haven’t been with a company that long, and I was hoping to build a long-term career here. I just don’t feel safe.

Thank you for your constructive suggestions.

I’m about a 7. I really like my role and don’t want to have to go through a job search. Also love my easy commute and generous benefits.

Would be a blessing

The best thing you can do right now is work on the things that ARE in your control. Preparing: resume, interview skills, story banks, wardrobe etc. Focus on this and if they choose you, you'll be ready for whatever is next and can take a week or so break before hitting the road searching for your next gig.

@a5 Thank you so much for sharing these verses. It’s just what I needed! I’m trying to cast my cares and trust that it will all work out … but right now it feels so uncertain. Will I have a job? Do I have to worry about money? Maybe I’ll be safe! It’s all completely out of my control and I just don’t know what will happen, and that’s hard.

There are 2300 scripture or Bible verses in the Bible.We are standing in faith with you.Our Lord Jesus loves you very much and His heart is to see you whole and well-supplied. Through His Son, Jesus Christ, He hasalready made available all the help and provision you would ever need.Jesus, in whom resides all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, is in you, with you, and He is for you today (1 Cor. 1:30). AllowHim to lead you in every decision that you have to make. As you rest in His promises that He will take care of you (Rom. 8:32), see God supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Phil. 4:19).
2 Corinthians 1:20
The Word of God is living and active. If you confess the Word of God over
your heart and life, it will not return void. We encourage you to meditate on
these confessions of faith.
On Provision
Dear friend,
If you have been waiting on the Lord for provision, know that God’s heart
is for you to be abundantly supplied. The greatest proof of this is that God
has already given you His very best, Jesus Christ. And when you have the
Lord, you have everything that you need (1 Corinthians 1:30, 2 Peter 1:3).
What is it that you need today? Healing for yourself or a loved one? Favor
at work or with your spouse? Wisdom to make important decisions about
your career, children or who to marry? God assures you that He knows
that “you need all these things” (Matthew 6:31–32) and that He has
already provided for them.
How? Through Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. At the cross, Jesus though
He was rich became poor, so that you through His poverty might become
rich (2 Corinthians 8:9). He carried all your sicknesses and pains on His
own body (see Isaiah 53:5) so that yours may be whole, healthy and
strong. He wore the crown of thorns (John 19:2) so that your mind may be
free from torment. He died alone (Psalm 88:18) so that you may always
be surrounded by loved ones and friends.
Jesus has done it all and provided it all for you. There is nothing you need
to do to qualify for or deserve God’s blessings and provision. Jesusdeclared in John 10:10 that He came that you may have life, and that youmay have it more abundantly. So beloved, come boldly to your heavenlyFather today and you will "obtain mercy and find grace to help in time ofneed" (Hebrews 4:16).
As you wait on the Lord for your breakthrough, continue to focus on your
heavenly Father’s goodness and His willingness and ability to provide
what you need. Trust in
your heavenly Father’s heart of love toward you, and the perfection of your
Savior in saving and providing for you, and see all the wonderful promises
in His Word come to pass for you.

open wide doors of good opportunity for me. I do not have to struggle or

III John 2

will not have room enough for it. Malachi 3:10

happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up

where moth and rust and worm consume and destroy, and where thieves

destroy, and where thieves do not break through and steal; for where your
treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matthew 6:19-21

I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently will find me.
Riches and honor are with me, enduring riches and righteousness. My fruit
is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, and my revenue than choice silver. I
traverse the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of justice, that
I may cause those who love me inherit wealth, that I may fill their
treasuries. Proverbs 8:17-21
The curse of the Lord is on the house of wicked, but He blesses the home
of the just. Proverbs 3:33

Me void, (empty, without fruit), but it shall accomplish what I please, and it
shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:11

May you find peace.
