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 

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

Any word on if Case Mgmet will be impacted?

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

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 

What real estate is actually getting sold off?

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 

At the very least, let's hope this round doesn't drag out.

Does anyone know when the next red chair photoshoot is and how to sign up?

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

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

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 

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.

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.
