Hi I wanted to leave on September not December, and from what I heard from this forum, HR and senior leadership will decide the dates. Is it better to reach out to HRBP that I am interested to leave early, does that make sense?

Has anyone heard of any EISP for New York/ New England areas .

Number of employees at Verizon 2007 - 2023. https://www.statista.com/statistics/257304/number-of-employees-at-verizon/ Numbers are trending down. It’s not a matter of “if” it’s a matter of “when”

Anyone hear anything on the final number and last work dates or will they still be finalizing it on Tuesday?

Verizon was once a great company. That has changed. Employees are expected to barely get by. The mindset of leadership is that every single person is replaceable and that they don’t bring any individual value. There are times you hear one of... — read more 

For those leaving, good luck in retirement or finding your next adventure. For those staying, good luck as well since unfortunately you will be dealing with the aftermath. Verizon was never Verizon Wireless, and Verizon Wireless was NEVER Verizon. ... — read more 

For the VSP they offered STI and the RSU. For the standard RIF packages this year were those included as well? Is the extra week per service year the only enhancement in the VSP? Why you ask? Because I did not take the VSP because the only... — read more 

“Ericsson rejected a report recently that said it was inflating sales by booking revenue before clients were invoiced. Shares have tanked as a result, and the proposed solution has been to slash up to 25,000 jobs.”

Can't wait till August 14th. Tired of getting treated like an afterthought, spoken to disrespectfully by management, not getting any gratitude or thank yous for all the hard work I put...it's mentally draining. So ready for this VSP.

I heard Chesapeake among them. Too many remote workers not willing to show up. Others on list as well. RIFs coming as well to meet 2024 reductions.

Current employees still have yet to respond to offers. Amazing.

I see too many posts here with people complaining and whining about Verizon doing layoffs and offering the VSP. To most companies you can be replaced tomorrow, so why are you all crying about being so loyal to a company and questioning how they can... — read more 

Has any field technicians (lineman, Spicer installation maintenance) received an enhanced retirement package. If what states, and has anyone heard if New York is going to get one?

Its amazing to me how its become normal to treat people like so terribly. Putting families futures in question, delaying medical needs or cancelling college plans. People getting laid off has a HUGE cost mentally and emotionally. This can WRECK a... — read more 

got my confirmation today that my payment will be deferred to my 401k for 2025 off the books in September

Apparently not enough people went for VSP. There is a school of thought that there will be better VSP offered, and the one claiming that additional cleanup will be conducted via layoffs. Anyone have any ideas or information on how this will be... — read more 

Hello everyone - I know there are a lot of speculations now, but really want to know the chances of the VSP getting denied by HR. My situation - top performer of my group, young, low tenure ( less than 7 years ) + low pay comparing to other folks on... — read more 

Curious how many VSP takers look at this as just leaving Verizon to definitely work again somewhere else, or as pure retirement. I see it as separating from VZ and plan to use the year to see what else is out there even though I'm at early retirement... — read more 

I see posts in these threads that we did not get the expected numbers and that they may come back with a better offer. Anyone have any details on whether this is a real thing or not and what the new offer would entail?

Heard many employees cry and moan for years about how as soon as a buyout offer comes, they’re gone!!!! Well guess what, now they complain about how much the offer is. People love to talk, people love to complain. Most people have worked for VZ... — read more 

A week and half to go, anyone know if the emails will come out at the same time on the 14th in the morning. My offer email came at 11:15am just as someone on this site said it would.

Any ideas on how vacation accrual will work for those leaving in Sept? The release date is the 13th and vacation accrual date is the 16th. I'm thinking those released on the 13th will not receive the Sept vacation accrual.

50k + 3750 per year. Submitted by Sept 10th, off payroll Sept 29th. No cable splicers have received it yet, possibly in 4th quarter after seeing how many serve techs take it.

Is there at least a vague idea floating around? I’ve been wondering, because it will also determine the scope of RIFs which will surely follow. I was eligible to take VSP, decided not to, and I’m worried I made the wrong decision. I know it’s... — read more 

Anyone remember what the formula was for calculating the VSP package amount?

What chance does someone have to be released after September if you opted into the VSP? And who makes that decision? Is it HR, your immediate managers, or is it at the executive level? Will this be decided based on the individual team, or was it... — read more 

Has anyone heard of a package for field technicians in New York?

I’m a long timer who reluctantly pushed the button. Before doing so I wrote emails and placed calls to gauge responsibilities post VSP. Repeatedly I was told that a response was coming, yet never received. It feels strange to witness a faceless... — read more

Anyone have solid information on SVPs, VPs, and Sr Directors taking VSP and leaving Verizon?

Anyone get told verbally that leadership has approved their VSP?

What is theories on if you clicked the button and then un clicked the button in the 11th hour. I heard some got talked back into staying. Do you end up on a lets RIF them first list?

This is for those that rejected. When the RIF happens and you are let go make sure to contact your lawyer regarding retaliation. This is common practice from companies and yes they can, do, and will lose in court if you are able to prove this. Its... — read more
