So many of us are sick to our stomachs dreading Thursday’s RIF Day! This wait is horrible!! How can you even think about the holidays with this kind of anticipation. This is horrible. Plus the reality is if we make it this round, we can expect it to happen prob almost every quarter over the new year. We are stuck! With the amount of people unemployed through all of the larger companies + government layoffs… how do people move forward? I expect the job market is horrible and unemployment gives a max of approx $400/wk.. how are people able to survive and support their families??

Verizon is just one chapter in your life. Layoffs happen…grieve and then move on. I had older parents who made it through the hard times and you’ll be fine. It may not be easy at times, but gather your strength and persevere. You know the saying…life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react.
Just put the phone down.
If this layoff board is stressing you out, don’t consume it. There’s nothing you can do to change the outcome.
No worries here, just eating a cheese burger than nap time. Go Union
