It’s gonna sting but you will come out stronger and better on the other end!
As someone who lived through it, to those who were RIFfed today, it is going to sting, you feel the rug was pulled out from under you. You feel betrayed, you feel lost. All normal feelings. Don’t dwell on them though. Take some time off if you feel... — read more

There have been RIFs before and after VSP
Far more than 5000 people will end up being affected. Any idea for how long RIFs will continue? This has been too stressful and demoralizing for most of us.

Gotta wonder how much $$$ VZ is paying Tom Brady to be our new spokesperson while they RIF employees.
RIF
Be aware the day VZ announced RIFs that morning my desk computer was turned off to access anything. The next was that dreaded phone call to meet in a conference room.
