The Smart ones leave, the numbnuts keep drinking the coolaid (AKA KoolAid) expecting severance packages ! Keep waiting or define your future yourself ! YOUR CHOICE !

Anybody on the frontier side that it works .com or incentives start looking. I’ll leave you with that.

Is there any credible information regarding closures of retail locations or conversions? When is this supposed to begin and how big of an impact? Also, for stores that stay open, has anyone heard about changes in leadership structure?

It stands to reason the overall workload is going to be less (but may be more for some people, depending on the job function). The network is being allowed to deteriorate. Not as many real estate people and rf engineers are needed if we are going... — read more 

Just don't be the last one to own it. The network is slowly degrading.... The c-suite folks are already getting out.

Quick question for anyone in New Jersey who was part of the Feb. 20 layoff wave. Did you only receive half of your severance so far? If yes, have you heard anything about when the second half is supposed to hit? Also, any word on the RSU payout... — read more 

PIP has been moved to 30 days instead of the normal 90 days. 30 days to get on pip 90 days to get off pip.….whoever makes these decisions are so out of touch with reality they should be in a mental institution If you don’t hit 50% of your phone... — read more 

Hearing noise about VPs across the company being let go

Again we are being promised another “cost of living adjustment” at the end of the contract. Healthcare is going up. Inflation is on par with the raises so basically we are left with nothing but what we started with.Can someone explain to me why I pay... — read more 

Curious how everyone's workload has been since the cuts. It's been long enough to know the real impact. My team lost just one person, so it's been manageable so far. But I wonder how teams that got cut in half are doing. How bad is it?

Can the Mods create a separate thread or link for the Union folks? Just like VzW has its own...since these folks started posting here, we lost the fundamental topcs....

Last year company/union talks broke off supposedly over the raise in caps for retiree healthcare. Now we have a tentative contract where the info just released does not seem to address this issue at all. Did the company use that memory erasing device... — read more 

Despite the online gushing about a Verizon turnaround since CEO Dan Schulman took over, the completion of its break up by delayering, which started more than 10 years ago, seems a far more likely outcome for what was once the top wireless provider in... — read more 

Just took a peek at the union contract. If ratified, it says that their Stock Together will no longer continue and they are receiving an additional $500 in corporate profit sharing in lieu of. If that's an indication of our (management) stock... — read more 

My iPhone 15 pro needs an upgrade, but I’m wondering if it would make sense to wait for the next Dan layoff so I can get a good deal on a 17pro or the new 18 pro?

You (union) created the two tier system we currently have amongst our work force. The new cps awarded to new hires is not enough, not nearly enough. The contracts are still being geared towards the ones with the 500k pensions... it's infuriating. Im... — read more

Been through multiple rounds myself over the past few years for various reasons. Even though I'm employed now, I can't shake this feeling that it's about to happen again any day. Which, working here, a lot of times makes sense, but it's happening... — read more 

Does anyone know what was agreed on in the new contract extension? Raises, pensions, additional vacation,? Etc...

The stock is responding well now over 51. Keep your foot on their throats Dan!

Dan said layoffs will not be incremental meaning the 20% reduction was a one time only. This is a black swan event that doesn’t occur frequently. Just relax most of you will be fine!!!

Commission upgrade for sales representatives and assistant managers. Thoughts?

LAYOFFS!!!!

Basically, someone stated that the Nov 20 layoff was some kind of exception to the prorated RSU treatment that involuntary separations receive. That those caught in this particular wave would have all future years (the two tranches for 2027 and the... — read more 

Will IT be hit again in this next round of layoffs

Hearing the next round is that date. Massive layoff affecting retail, business sales, Frontier and network

Someone recently commented here they were hearing some orgs might be going from office to fully remote. Any more details?

That’s the only information I’ve gotten so far.

There have been numerous rebadging (moving functions and the people that support it to a contracting firm) over the last few years, significant ones with Infy, HCL, and Cognizant. I'm hearing it's coming again, on and off shore. Anyone have any... — read more 

I saw here that union folks might get the option. If Verizon's planning another big round of cuts, even if mostly retail, wouldn't it make sense to start with VSP and then reassess? That way, people who really need to stay have a better shot, while... — read more 

So good news I hear pretty good things coming but sounds like a big package to get associates off payroll which means unfortunately a lot more managers are gonna get the rif soon

Extended through 8/1/30

Pending ratification. No particulars as of yet..

Just saw a 4 yr extinction on the union contract. Hopefully its somewhat decent but time will tell

Any news on the change for R2B? Heard it going to change from retail into office?

A significant layoff is expected soon on the retail side. I’ve heard from a source that leadership plans to convert up to 90% of corporate locations to indirect locations by the end of the summer.

Additional layoffs are expected in June for the retail workforce, and more stores are being converted to indirect locations.

Plan is coming down the line. Regardless of contract extension or not. À la ups style $5000 per year of service to leave the company. No restrictions . 5 years or 50 years. Major downsizing is wanted by the company. No ipp offer. Across the board... — read more
