Believe it or not, for those that are impacted today, coming to this site and sharing the news is not a priority. They are going through an emotional roller coaster, need to inform their families, etc. so just because people aren’t posting here... — read more
There is no layoff today.
Believe it or not, it isn't happening today. Can’t you see they’re playing with you? They read these threads; they post here. To a sociopath, keeping you on edge is a game—and they love to win. Stop feeding them. It will happen when you least... — read more
Real info means
If you’re sharing real info, include specifics. Team, Department, Band, Title. Ideally two of those data points. Otherwise we’ll assume it’s false. Band 7, Cx design
Anybody in Cary get notified?
Anybody?
This is hard
One of the most difficult things about layoff days is hoping its one of your team members and not you. Some of us like the people on our team and wanting one of them to be impacted instead of yourself is a special kind of he-l. It feels selfish and... — read more
Case Management
Any word on if Case Mgmet will be impacted?
Can we please be honest here and let us know if it's actually happening today?
I saw tons of writing on the wall the past two weeks that made me think I'm going, but the post from someone saying they made the whole thing up has me second guessing myself now. If you're impacted, please let us know. And if you're trolling, this... — read more
15 min sync!
Nooooo
May 7th will be a fun day!
There will be no reduction if force tomorrow! It's all made up! This board will be dead silent tomorrow because not layoffs will be taking place at Verizon. Yes, there will be some that will claim they have been laid off but will not provide any... — read more
Real estate
What real estate is actually getting sold off?
Please, I beg of you God, cut all the 1999-2000 dot-com bo-m hires tomorrow.
These people keep getting spared every layoff and they're the ones at the water cooler, long overdue for retirement. They are good at showing up on time in a crisply ironed shirt with a positive attitude, much like the old IBMers. But as far as... — read more
Good luck to everyone tomorrow
At the very least, let's hope this round doesn't drag out.
Value / VCG are we cooked?
Let’s see what happens tmm
Red Chair Photos
Does anyone know when the next red chair photoshoot is and how to sign up?
Very active moderation on this space
Lots of threads and comments are getting deleted which are not even offensive. Someone I know got blocked to post any comments or posts. Did anyone else felt same?
How many people have you seen retire from VZ that you knew personally?
Not talking about some C-Suiter who sent out an email about their new chapter in life, but someone you actually worked with or "adjacent" to (or at least in your building). I have over 10 years with VZ and can only name 2 people. Plus one more who... — read more
2010: ~200K fulltime employees ... 2025: ~90K fulltime employees (firings are not new)
... and the number of cell sites probably tripled. In most cases, VZ will fire you quickly if you are not cutting it (and replace you with a contractor, not backfill). So if you have lasted over 3 years or so, you have shown you are adaptable and are... — read more
And the leadership evolves…
Out: Monica Hammond (“retiring”) Out: Chris Paul. (“Pursuing other opportunities”) Out: Richard dalton (“pursuing other opportunities”)
Always be prepared for your own future
the best opportunities come when you aren’t expecting/looking for them. always have a mind set of “what’s the next best role/job for me”. always be working toward the next thing. there are always jobs available at companies, just not when... — read more
Tomorrow isn’t the end of the layoffs
I think most people know by now tomorrow is the day, with a few people in denial. This was a quota game, leaders were told to eliminate x number of people for many teams as the only consideration. This isn’t the end either. There will be more... — read more
Get Ready for the $hit show on 5/7
G-b bless y’all tomorrow!!!
SVP of Data Science not producing insights according to GTS
Data science projects face up to an 80-95% failure rate primarily due to poor data quality, lack of clear business goals, and organizational silos rather than the models themselves.
What would happen with Value and the new office?
I heard so far that the head count its actually more than the amount of desk in the “New Miami Headquarter”, Could it be just a simple strategy to get rid of more people? At the end of the day we can agree that the acquisition of Frontier would be... — read more
SVP of Customer Success is Gone
Got word today that the SVP is gone "retiring". Wild news, sounds like more to follow. Usually this is the fuse that lights the fire. Layoffs and a reorg are definitely coming to CS. Makes sense though, you can't have 2 SVPs over CS and Retail.
Getting rid of Excel? Are they smoking crack?
Anyone who's spent five seconds using them knows that Excel is way better than Sheets than what you'd get from say, Copilot vs. Google Gemini. Are they trying to destroy my productivity? I already know the answer. You complete fu--ing mo--ns.
This Board Is A Safe Space
You cannot post anything here that sounds like or feels like a heated debate or else the thread gets deleted. I am really sick and tired of posts being allowed to remain which follows the current Hollywood induced comatose narative, but the very... — read more
I’m really hoping Thursday finally puts an end to this whole thing
There’s only so much we can take mentally, and people are already stretched thin. We need a break, a real one, and it should be at least six months without constantly worrying about layoffs. Otherwise, I genuinely think people are going to start... — read more
Value
Will there be any more RIFs in Value?
