Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Let’s get the facts straight.

If layoffs happen it’s happening nov 20th or earlier.

Lists aren’t made last minute so your fate was sealed 20-30 days ago.

Initial estimates range from 15-30% depending on org but overall beverage to about 20%.

There’s likely a round 2 of layoffs early 2026.

The crisis manager article says there’s nothing to worry about - you know why?! Cause he’s a crisis manager. He’s probably on a list and has no idea lol

Lastly, these corporations you don’t hold any loyalty too. All that family talk is just bs. All those retirement emails thanking you for your service - bullsh-t. Make your money, make your connects, climb the ladder or hop to another. Do not take it personally.

Losing sleep and checking this board every 2 hours is not good for your mental state. Just get your affairs in order.

A lot of VPs, SVPs, and EVPs were given the notice. Just be thankful you weren’t one of those under heavy scrutiny. You have better odds as an underlying.

Good luck all - love you.

Dan’s number one task was to start the culling process that Hans said was too aggressive so late in the year. This along with his performance sealed Hans fate.

@a1 I just checked and the day after Dan was announced they asked for rankings and the discussions began. This has gained momentum over the past month and most managers are on the verge of know their people's fate as well as their own.

@a1 Performance ranking gets done frequently, not just when its RIF time

@OP is doubt that lists were made 20-30 days ago. Dan was barely on board. I think a lot of this has just come up since Dan replaced the Swede
