Yep. I’ve been layoff due to realignment blah blah blah 24 yrs.
Layoffs are no longer a threat
You know Verizon is not doing well (or not treating its employees well, at least) when a rumor of layoffs is no longer seen by most of us as something to fear but as an opportunity. Instead of fearing layoffs, so many of us are welcoming them. Tell... — read more
