It seems that this company prefers to RIF employees with many years of experience and those who have earned a little higher pay with their work. The average and below average ones always seem to be safe?

Unless every group unionize....then it will be negotiated before notifications. This won't happen in such a short notice with a union.

Notices went out today to multiple groups in IT and HR that RIFs have been initiated.

What is your age and how long were you with the company? Share area you worked if you want.

Verizon lay offs today. They are actually giving employees two months to find some thing else internally versus the standard lay offs right before Thanksgiving. A lot of Wireline impacted.

That the layoffs are around the corner.. I can't believe this is true given that we are very understaffed. Does anyone have more detailed information?

Hearing from co-workers new will be out tomorrow. Has anyone else heard this?

Why hasn’t the union said anything about the meeting? Did it even take place?

I would love to be RIFed because it has become unbearable to work here. On the other hand, my anxiety about RIFs is through the roof. Which departments will be affected? Does anyone know?

I have been working here for a long time and in the last few years I've noticed that the quality has become less and less important. Leadership seems to be no longer interested in quality at all. I don't know how good of a strategy this is for... — read more

I’ve come to the conclusion the there may never be another retail layoff. Especially in East Texas. Most stores are understaffed. So just throw on that blue Jean shirt and fix the customer Facebook.
