Verizon To Dump 6,000 Jobs
(Mark Davis) Verizon may be laying off as many as 6,000 employees as rival Sprint culls its payroll, according to a Wall Street analyst.
Jeffrey Kvaal, with Nomura Securities International, wrote in a note to clients that Verizon employees had been informed of the cutbacks. Kvaal cited a Bloomberg article about Verizon’s plan to reorganize its wireless business and reduce its wireless employee count.
I do have a new job @rgb - it's called fuking your wife.
@rgb - your a fuking idiot. My director and VP were cut along with everyone below them. The entire org. How is that performance based?
Sorry you live in your little bubble and think everything operates the same within Verizon. Ignorance is bliss, and you are very blissful...
Your probably one of those idiots who thinks you are too good or too important to be rifed. That Verizon somehow "values" you as an employee. What a joke...
I'll bet ASSHAT MAN is happy about this.
I can never tell if the posters are misinformed or misinforming. Those laid off were not on Pip. Take a field trip through an IT shop and figure it out for yourself.
Right, because our directors didn't come in one day and ask all managers who our low performers were. I guess I dreamt that day. I guess a month after that day the people who got let go just "happened" to be the ones who were deemed below par.
Tell me again how management works? I'm sure you have time today, tomorrow or all year since you obviously don't have a job to go to.
It's sad that cutting low performers is so foreign to you. I guess being union you are surrounded by them. We may have cuts again one day and if so I welcome it. My team is solid with everyone performing or leading. Some other groups in my sub market could use some help.
All of you saying people who were cut in 2015 were on PIP's are morons. A third party consulting firm made the decision who to cut. It had NOTHING to do with performance. Pull your heads out of your a$$es - you will be next.
Wireless is at a saturation point , so all you wireless EWA haters bashing the union guys need to wake up because vz is going to down size the wireless side by 20 pct as soon as this company finishes using you guys on your EWA assignment so make your money like im doing and when its over im outta here, cause this company dont care about you union or not .the writing is on the wall..read it and weep cause its for real.PS stop the baby crap and just take their $$$ there giving it away with a little sacrifice on our part..
I highly doubt anyone would admit they were on a PIP. I'm sure all those lawsuits for unlawful discrimination went well and were with merit.
People will always play the victim to their friends because they don't want to admit to their failures.
Pip all right! As i recall people were gere in oct-dec complaining how they were let go due to age discrimination. I dont recall age putting you on a PIP
We had lay offs later year. Those on performance improvement plans (PIPs) got the axe. That's the beauty of non-union. We can cut the fat and keep the performers.
I saw in a cross box the other day someone wrote one day longer blah blah protect the weak.... if you don't perform you need to be gone.
This story is about the Nov 2015 layoff. Ancient history at this point.
why would they cut the wireless head count if wireless is the only thing driving profits? seems wireline is more important than some believe.
Last year dude. No matter how many times you post this already happened
