Any layoff in 600

Does anyone really believe they are stopping at 1k for stores? Why would they when the agents can do all the heavy lifting. New York and the northeast got sla-ghtered today. Definitely more to come, the only question is when?

Not left vs right. This is up vs down. The “manager” title with no direct reports. Federal labor law excludes supervisors from union eligibility, so titling people into that bucket without giving them real authority shrinks who’s even allowed to... — read more 

Does anyone else feel that Leadership thinks we are a bunch of AI illiterates? AI is in its infancy right now, yes in a few years it will capable of replacing employees. But lets be honest, right now it has a lot of limitations.

Workin on that copper dial tone, old phones, with no spares to go.

I heard that this time around the direct managers had an input on who leaves and who stays. Does anyone know if this is true? My understanding was that the execs are the ones who make those decisions. Does anyone know the criteria?

Ages of the people I know who were laid off today. Why am I not even surprised?

This is a very volatile industry, whether you survived the layoff(s) or not, we constantly need to reinvent ourselves to remain competitive, unless you're lucky enough to retire. I've been in the industry now for going on 30 years and have seen... — read more 

Word from any Virginia stores?

Does anyone know or from last round know this. If you take the severance, for example if I get paid out for 20 weeks, do I still qualify for six months unemployment or will it be six months minus the 20 weeks that Verizon paid me severance for?

They completely sc--wed up the decisions on the Customer Experience team. Many hardworking, genuine, and talented people were let go, while many boot-licking, useless, and incompetent people were left behind. I can’t wrap my head around it. At the... — read more

Seen this a hundred times. Massive layoffs, but useless mid manager and c-suites are mostly retained. No real stock value injection attempted. It is a tired strategy, one used on so many brands in the past. The goal is not to bring the company back... — read more
