Have all the notifications been sent out by now?
is the number 6000 today?
Could it be?
Verizon union
Why can’t union reps get laid off seems unfair
This company is a joke!
You are only a number… don’t assume anything makes you safe. The current leadership has 1 priority… Slash and cut.. no master plan, no vision. the AI talk is all a cover to layoff and do stock buybacks.. Best of luck to all impacted today and the... — read more
Can you apply for internal roles after being laid off?
Or, to rephrase that, can you ask to be considered for a different role instead of taking the severance? And if nothing is available, then accept the severance instead?
Value Impacts Today
Anyone in Value let go today?
Any word if the VZ connect group?
Heard rumors days prior but haven't heard much, out here in the west coast down in the SD team????
Severance
Have any changes been made to severance? Can anybody who has been laid off share, please? I ask this each time and I know I'm probably being paranoid, but I always worry that they'll use any opportunity to further reduce the package, like they did... — read more
Management meeting
Supervisor said he has meeting 11-1230pm. We are in wireline… Cssc rep union . We are doomed
CXO future
TJ read the script like a news reader. It was the first time I’d ever seen her, even though she took over the CXO role six months ago. Sounds like a “true Verizon leader”. I don’t have much hope left for the future of customer experience team under... — read more
Are only specific roles affected?
I don't want to get too hopeful, but it seems these layoffs are above my paygrade, to put it like that.
Time to clear?
when will it be clear? eastern time
Next round fur people leaders with less than 10 direct reports
Rumor of the next round aiming people leaders Sr Mgr, AD, SD, AVP, with less than 10 direct reports in September
Hope you have good relation with your director
Its more like your position is not impacted it’s who you will be impacted. Happened to me
Central time impacts?
Anyone in the central time zone impacted yet? My nails are gone
Why is there never a WARN notice?
Isn't it required by law?
Rumor! Rumor!
It’s just a rumor; everything looks normal.
Should’ve seen it coming
A couple months ago, they made most of our building be fully remote (my entire team is with the optional monthly visit) Should’ve realized this was the reason, as I just got the call and I am now out.
Yeah im out
Got the call.
Worst time to be “impacted”
Job market tough enough, most people taking vacations over summer so hiring is slow and then we heading into fall and EOY holidays where traditionally no hiring due to budget cycles …. Jeeez
Lets guess the average age of those who'll be laid off today
I'll say somewhere between 50 and 60.
Layoffs master thread
Please let us know if you know which areas are getting hit and how badly.
VBG
Is business being affected at all?
Former employee
Hey I was laid off in the last batch one thing that I was told was we should've tried to unionize. It's the only thing that would protect your jobs. Fight back!
See the 15 minute calendar blocks on Sr Director calendars
Good luck to all!
When will communication go out?
What is the time frame to hear anything ?
Hello from a December layoff
Hello to my fellow 'soon to be ex' V-Teamers. I was laid off in Dec 2025 with a role of Sr. Technical Project Manager (6V). Unfortunately, with all of the lay offs, in VZ and elsewhere, finding a new job has been next to impossible. Both my severance... — read more
Store closure master thread
If you are laid off I wish you the best. Mega thread for impacted stores. State, store name, agent divested to if applicable. Remember you can apply to the agent your store is going to. You also can apply internally.
Product & Technology Enablement
Any word on Product & Technology Enablement in VBG ?
Software developer layoffs
Any engineers hearing about layoffs today?
For whom the bell tolls...
Welp... 20 years in, have a 15 minute meeting with my Director in 20 minutes... VCG Ops
On my day off
I’m an AM and on my day off this morning got a text and email from Verizon to join a Webex and my dm and sm both asked us all to join it. Even if off. Anxiety is high
This will be a long day
I slept for a total of 2 hours, all in 15-minute increments. It's sad we have to go through something like this over and over again these days. I guess when they said layoffs are the new normal, they weren't kidding.
Anyone doing the Verizon Morristown 5k today?
Dan and Alfonso might attend
I want to assure everyone that Verizon is not the end
I took thr VSP in 2019. I used my severance to start my own business that is now thriving. It's very environmentally friendly and DEI. I found a huge plot of land in Mississippi and established a farm. We only use man and animal power so there's... — read more
