What is the purpose of the 3rd office day? He-l, hardly anybody does it and lots of other teams barely come in for the required 2 days & are still employed. They come in for a few hours, swipe badge and are out.

You should consider the Finance Team in Basking Ridge as another area for future headcount reductions. There are too many employees with titles that make no sense. A few managers and lots of analysts are only needed to get the work done.

I think some have asked and didn't get answers but I just heard on an all hands call today that some at Frontier as well as some from Ireland were included the last round of cuts. I didn't work with them personally but a lot of people on the call did... — read more

Does anyone have legit intel on what locations will be included on the next round of office closures?

Employees that were laid off in Nov 2025 were able to keep their employee discount on phone plans for 1 year. Why isn’t the same being offered to employees let go on 07/16?

Dan promised Wall Street ai-cs tech stack by November. That means more layoffs are coming to reach the $5b .. I expect more leadership departures to be announced soon since last week’s cuts don’t add up to the $500m Verizon wrote off in the sec... — read more 

This would make Verizon truly an AI-first company

Don’t know where we’re going, so we won’t know when we get there

I don't have the same level of hatred for this place that a lot of people do, but I'm also not blind. The constant layoffs aren't a solution, they're just a way to delay the inevitable. You can only cut so many people before there's nobody left. I... — read more

Did anyone else see chief of staff hans vestberg in attendance! Great way for him to celebrate after a hard week of layoffs
