Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Trolls

There’s been a huge uptick in troll posts the past 48 hours.

One poster uses the word “value” a whole bunch to oddly describe an unknown Verizon business segment.

Another keeps claiming huge moves, like Sampath being let go - which hasn’t been reported in any capacity.

Just remember, at this point the only thing we really know is that layoffs are coming and our new CEO seemingly pointed to the end of November (~Nov. 20th) as to when his new plan will be placed into motion. Everything else (% riffed, impacted workgroups, potential for VSP, etc.) is all hearsay.

Tread carefully, and know there are a large number of trolls running around getting a rise out of posting intentional misinformation…some of whom likely don’t even work for Verizon.

I've been noticing for a few days.. this board went from one or two new topics a day to being in the teens.. AI? Maybe? If not, someone or a few someones must have just found this site, and are really bored. Either way, it's making this board even less interesting than it was before. Too much saturation is not a good thing here.

  • date is 11/20 - it's always the Thursday before a pay day
  • Sampath just got a $4M retention bonus (just like Tony -- no other EVP got one)
  • the lists of names were due to Dan on 10/28
  • they are now with Legal and HR to reduce the risk of lawsuites
  • no VSP, no volunteers, clean RIF, US offboarding depending on state rules end of December (most states), and end of Jan/Feb (for those in states with saner employee protections, e.g. NJ)
  • international is affected at the same percentage, including India - offboarding dates in accordance with local/regional law and regulation
  • no BU is excluded, no Band is excluded. %-ages will not be identical across every team, but overall target is the same for each BU... some EVPs decided to be more targeted, others were going with "roll down the flat cuts to everyone"

Feel free to down-vote / label as troll post. just remember to come back here on 11/20 and compare with what happened.

All the troll posts must be coming from the guy from “Crisis Communications and Reputation Management” just trying to cover up the truth.

Don’t forget that troll who keeps posting about RTO every few days. Pretty sure it’s someone not at VZ but instead someone who needs people back in the office (real estate owner? Restaurant owner near an office?). Yeah

The bad info is from Verizon employees. I would guess maybe 1 person if that would go around just posting
