With the new frontier acquisition, do you think Verizon will conduct layoffs to be able to support all of the frontier employees?

@g8 it never made sense how finance is located in Lake Mary and disconnected from the rest of the company reducing trust and interaction between business units.
Like sands through the hour glass
So are the Days of Our Layoffs
@ev all legacy finance leaders with 15+ years at the company should be let go without severance. The multi year multi million dollar coe transformation was the biggest waste of opportunity I’ve ever seen in my life. Basking Ridge wanted it to fail and never went down their own headcount leaving insane overlap, confusion, and juvenile power battles for years. It was unprofessional, eroded business confidence in finance and was ultimately a complete disgrace. And nobody held them to account. Finance isn’t rocket science, yet the lovely Jersey people decided not to actually do a transformation and blame everyone else for it.

FTR riffs coming
Buckle up
@OP get help if you're this worried. Corporate life
VZ will support conducting layoffs for as many Frontier employees as they can. This process has a long history with companies acquired by VZ in the last 25 years.
Of course they are. Layoffs are a way of life at Verizon and have been since at least the late 90’s under their former names before mergers.
Yes
