Shoot, Sprint is/was a dumpster fire and we were running in the red continually and the most they ever truly laid off at one time was 20k total over a six-month period. Unless you consider VZ chucking landline to the four winds a "layoff"... :) Having worked for this company for 5 years, I've not seen anything near as stupid and insane as Sprint. Ya'll don't know how good you've had it!

Those numbers would violate the warn act. I will continue to believe the 8,000 stated by others.

Oh, Anonymous185257 - please shut the f*** up. Nobody, in the history of man kind, has laid off more than 20K in a single shot. So, please spare us

Out of a total.135k the union force is 35k. So in the remaining 100 about 10k are going to frontier. So the net force that are eligible for rif is 90k. If we assume the rif is in the range of 10% to 20% then actual layoff count will be in the range of 9000 to 18000. This is just my theory.

It'll be bad, 10% every six months.

Hmm maybe it started 5 years ago.

+1 for suomynona.

OP, that would mean that there were no retail employees left for the holidays. Didn't think that one through, eh? Lol. We all know something is coming, but 100k? Please...

Ok so globally Vz has roughly around 140k employees, 40k of those are union employees whom have a contractual no layoff clause (yes, they still need to abide by the provisions in the expired contract until a new one is in place), so after this "revealing" layoff number , the only ones left would be the union workers. I know its Halloween season, but you really need to do a better job if you are trying to scare people.

It pays to be a fly on the wall on Lowell's calls. The dates are correct but the number is more like 75K not 100K.
