Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Happy RIF Day to all that celebrate! Sigh.

And so it begins. I don’t know how wide sweeping this one is but it sounded big. I was volunteered as tribute.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

Good luck out there!

a 7 month off book date is not unheard of when engaging a managed services partner (infosys, hcltech, ibm, etc). They want the VZ employees to train their replacements in exchange for the severance.

I was impacted and had zero clue who HCL was until I googled it. So… dunno how it will impact that group. We didn’t have any knowledge of them previously.

Human Resources and Training will now get an Indian accent moving to HCLTech. Largest cut ever and those left will be leveling up their HCLTech counterparts. This time next year, Verizon will be a mostly Indian company.

I heard L&D for VCG, B2B, Ops on my call. Moving those groups to India and Philippines. Not sure what percentage/how many/all or what. Or if that’s all that’s happening right now or other groups, too.

Da---t Effie!
Right? If it’s as big as it sounds there’s gonna be a ton of us applying for the same 5 spots so it’s for real going to be like the Hunger Games. It sounded like most of my District was hit.
When is your out date? Mine isn’t until August so there’s that.
