I saw few people let go here including few managers. I think approx of 10% reduction of workforce.

I don't know how many RIFs I survived, every time they try to cost-cut, they start with us. I just can't take it anymore. Even if I survive this, I'll start looking. Anywhere but here. This constant waiting for a shoe to drop, and then feeling lucky... — read more

@TheLayoff: Reads: ‏ 11/16 #Verizon #Layoffs: We are receiving multiple user reports about large $VZ layoffs today

I think I'm done with Verizon. They let go of some of our best folks today. That's no way to treat your long-term employees that helped build Verizon. The layoffs and the anticipation that lasted for months have caused me enough mental harm. I'll be... — read more 

We lost nearly half of our team. There is five of us left. We were pushing it when it comes to hours as it is, how in the world do the hire-ups expect us to do our job without half of the team? Will we be expected to work 70 hours weeks? I know I... — read more

I don't work in a retail store, I don't work in a union position. I know the second that I post this, someone will post that they, plus a number of others, were just rif'd so the 10% or 20% they've guaranteed is REAL, yet for some reason they're... — read more
