Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

How many jobs would be affected by the copper landlines phasing out?

If any. I'm just curious how this will affect employees.

@cy I thought he was transitioning them into AI data centers for the companies that actually develop AI. Unlimited HVAC jobs to be had at those locations.

Verizon has plans to sell off CO’s. They’ve already started. Dan wants to make it a lean mean Verizon machine.

How much work are techs doing now? Once all the copper is gone so are a majority of jobs.

Customer service representatives need to be replaced. Most of them jumped on the wfh, making them as worthless as an outsourced rep. But why pay them $100k. It’s time to let all he dead weight go.
