Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Rumor is the red chair is returning

Rumor has it a HUGE RIF is coming first quarter next year and it will be the last time a buyout package will be offered.

Another rumor is that bonus and RSU will be combined . . . Even better that RSU went for vesting 3 years to 4 years twice in a year. . . What are the chances they will find a way not to pay it out?!

Vz will not miss GIFTING RIF on Nov-19… the unknown is who gets it? Too bad of timing in holidays but VZ maintained every year this tradition.

Rebadging has been postponed to Q1 of next year.
Even if there is a layoff before the end of this year, it will have minimal impact and will likely only affect VBG and /or Jon's new organization.

Seems like rebadging for contractors(vendor) coming up.

@rf I love that she said she’s privileged to have worked alongside some extraordinary people the past 4 years. Yes they were great weren’t they? I am energized and inspired by HR laying off the masses as they said they care so deeply about people. At least there is Botox and fillers for their fancy corporate pics with the money saved from ruining lives. Very glad she’s proud of the work she’s done here! Love where you work love what you do!

@r7 nothing like painting a rosy facade when the morale is at all time lows by CHRO v2.0 spin doctor Christina Schelling

At telecommunications giant Verizon (No. 52), interns are hired across the company in areas including cybersecurity, engineering, finance, marketing and public policy, says Christina Schelling, executive vice president and chief people officer. The paid 10-week internship program also includes a two-day intensive training in New Jersey at the company’s headquarters and lots of exposure to using emerging technologies, such as AI. Employees also benefit from development opportunities including education and certification assistance, and training in AI, says Schelling. Verizon has even harnessed an AI tool, Talent GPS, which can evaluate employees’ strengths and help them navigate future career pathways with the company. “We want our people to know that where they start doesn’t have to define where they go,” says Schelling. “Whether you join us through our retail stores, field operations, an internship or another pathway, we want employees to see Verizon as a place to build a career, not just find a job.”

Don’t know about that when your worried about if you will have a job tomorrow, as Corporate management style is RIF and allow Wall Street to run the business. . . They know best.

Anyone heard for 11/19 round? Or they r keeping tight similar to 10/22 RIF round?

Based on Q3 results and increased guidance from DAN for W4… what is it going to be??

RIFs on the wall for Nov, out of payroll by Dec… and Dan will run with his Millions…

Another year of stressful holidays

@gz Absolutely. Writing has been on the wall. No one wanted to read it

@g6 somehow it seems Dan is going to part ways with the wireless part of the business and put up the white flag to Elon. Wireless was hit pretty hard in last years RIF.

I want out!!! This company has become a toxic place to work.

MSFT, skydance…next VZ will show how RIFs done in Nov…so that Dan n his buddies can have their millions to collect at end of year.

@dh Nope. All coming from wireless

@cf not enough…more to come.

Man, if I get laid off now I might be able to get home in time for Christmas dinner. Dad said I could have the Porsche if I do!

bye bye frontier dei lackeys

Honestly I don't know what to believe anymore

Anyone find out how many we lost in October?

The annual Home for the Holdiays festivities!!!

The good news is that VZ has now extended its home for the holidays program to cover even more dates. Instead of one gift, we now get to enjoy this gift every other Thursday. Let’s go V Teamers!

@ac cool cool cool cool no doubt no doubt no doubt

May not be a Layoff, but the re-badging is coming.

Not happening. Crawl back into your hole.
