Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Abject Fear

I managed to survive 5 previous rounds of layoffs that directly impacted the various organizations or teams I was part of at various times.

After 28 years of playing the Verizon Squid Game, it was finally my turn last fall. By all means, stay clear of this vile employer and if you still work there, do everything in your power to get out right now.

The biggest regret of my life is giving 28 years of blood, sweat and toil to a once great company that has now become purely evil and vile - where literally every employee at every level of the company lives in abject fear of the next surprise hastily scheduled Zoom meeting with their organizational leadership.

It is an absolutely unbearable way to work, let alone live.

The trick is to have a valuable job where you affect the bottom line. And then to be necessary to that job and then to keep other groups from taking over what you do. It's a constant battle.

Has nothing to do with tenure. Verizon is outsourcing all of the U.S. jobs. The entire care team is laid off.

Squid Game is a dead on description of what it feels like to work here.

I just joined the list after 18 years. Appears that everyone in my org that had a lot of tenure got the boot.
