This is how we do things now? What a joke!
What's Up with Verizon.com
I have tried for several days to get into Verizon.com to change my plan since my 50% discount is ending this month. It just spins and I can't get in. Anyone else having these issues?
Who is VZ's C-Suite crisis

When’s the next RIF? Pick your horse
Alright team, instead of the usual vague “it’s coming soon” posts, let’s actually put dates on the board and argue them out. Drop your prediction in the comments (or just reply with the letter). Feel free to change your mind later if new rumors... — read more
Marketing layoffs
Anyone have the latest on marketing/sponsorship layoffs?
The AI doesn’t even know how to say FiOS and put me on a payment plan that I didn’t ask for.
All I wanted know was how much home phone is with our discount.
Early Year End Appraisal
Been with Verizon for 22 years. The only year that we had to complete end of year appraisals in November, was 2025 and we lost a HUGE number of employees. Is that what is happening again? We used to do appraisals in January, now we are doing them in... — read more

Verizon is investing billions in infrastructure while simultaneously trying to reduce the workforce maintaining it
Billions invested in infrastructure, but fewer people to maintain it. Apparently, the strategy is to build a bigger, more advanced network with a smaller workforce responsible for keeping it running. A network is only as reliable as the people behind... — read more
It’s getting really bad here
Call me crazy, but Verizon is turning into a horrible company that seems to enjoy torturing its employees. I'm sorry, but it feels intentional at this point. No wonder morale is nonexistent.
L&D
What does L&D even do anymore?
All Hands
Why did our All hands become this boring now? It used to be lively, fun and exciting and I always look forward to attending/watching it. The first few minutes I heard Alfonso talk, I closed the video.
11/19 is confirmed
It’s happening. Huge cuts in Lake Mary. Mostly band 7. It’s going to be worse than last time from what my SD told me. Good luck to all.
Layoff recommendation: marketing team that made the creepy elf ad
This add is super creepy and embarrassing. This was so awful to watch. I look the other way to avoid seeing it. Can someone please fire the team that made this ad?
The lest vestige of Verizon
I was laid off in December 2025 so my 50% cellular discount ends next month. I also need new phones. T-Mobile is offering the iPhone 18 Pro Max 256GB for $3 a month when you port over from Verizon. Their top tier plan is $150 for two lines (for us... — read more

I wish they'd stop moving the goalposts
Just when I think I'm about to get promoted, the rules change. It's always something else. Always. I've been playing this same game for years and I'm getting really, really tired of their sh-t. I think the whole thing is intentionally set up like... — read more
4Q / 1Q RIF? This started at the top. Finish it from there.
20% off the top? Verizon can easily get there by rolling back a fraction of the layers of band 5+ fat built up without touching anyone else. Ever hear of a corporation whose CEO gets axed and is not followed by their disciples? Verizon continues... — read more
Who thought putting a "Schul-man on the Shelf" as my screen saver
was a good idea? It's like he is crafting me a special Christmas "package". Can we please have this thing removed?

It started at the top - It needs to finish there!
Ever hear of a corporation whose CEO gets axed but not followed by executive management? Verizon is saddled with far too many layers of SVP's, EVP's, VP's, AVP's, Sr Directors, Directors & AD’s. It's absurd – and the board of directors needs a slap... — read more
Everything About My Day is Fake
Fake metrics Fake conference calls Fake Dispatches to make up my day so my supervisor meets his numbers Fake busy work because our side of the business is dead Counting down the days. Tick tock tick tock.
Verizon CEO “it will take 4 to 6 years for SpaceX...”
That aged well. Dan, keep your head stuck in the sand and living in denial. It seems to be working for you. I guess we are gonna need some bigger layoffs now, right? Qualcomm signs major 5G infrastructure deal with SpaceX for Starlink Mobile... — read more

Expect more layoffs
Expect layoffs in organizations that were 'considered safe' over the last 12 months. Expect Senior Directors to be included in the next set of layoffs. Pushing this to the top for info, taken from @br+1m6gvjtxg.
Base Management Use or Lose Mindset causes $200M+ in annual wasted spending

Verizon culture
