Eventually VZ will do exactly what Sprint did effective Jan 30 2016. Sprint had same sev package VZ has...2 weeks for every full year of service with a cap similar to VZ 35 week. QAll sprint did was cut the weeks per year of service from 2 to 1, a significant reduction but 'a' sev package exists. Companies don't owe you a gaudy sev package by any means.
I assume the package here will change as well and if any of us are hanging on because we want the current package, the that is just stupid. It will be what it is when the rif knocks on my door and the same will apply to everyone else here.
I wanted to bump this up - the post is not mine I took it from @PminbEe-5tpo
