There’s gotta be beans to spill! Positions affected?

Please answer frankly and in a civil way. What would you do? Would you recommend Verizon to your friends? If yes (or no), why?

Pause for a moment and look at the leadership here at Verizon. Is there anyone there that you lookup to, that you want to use as a role model for your kids? Hell NO!!! The executive lineup is responsible for failure after failure with no personal... — read more 

It's not only us and AT&T - this is a global problem https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/jobs/telecom-is-reeling-under-mass-layoffs-casualties-so-far-75000-jobs-counting/articleshow/61650018.cms

Just wondering.

If you end up get hit and have to leave Verizon, stay strong and keep it classy. Walk out with your head held high. We all have good skills - we will be okay. Leave on a good note and ask your manager if you can use them as a reference, it's a small... — read more 

That is fact, not fiction. What will happen to Verizon and all it's workers when deep learning takes over? It will be much worse in many ways, but much better at the same time in many other ways. Any factory job including in the US is Slave Labor, no... — read more 

Hello my Verizon peeps, with the holiday season upon us, I would like to spend a moment and to send out something positive to those who have had to leave the company this year - especially those who were hoping to be here for the long haul. I really... — read more 

I'm in NE/WBV retail A store. Haven't heard anything here. My manager has been spending more time in the store as of last week (he would rarely be here). He's not scheduled today but he's opening tomorrow. As soon as I get in tomorrow I'll post what... — read more 

Any news on RF?

With this years rifs, it set big red up for Google to buy them. Announcement coming soon. If you don't believe me ask your manager to see the new work attire. Hopefully I can ride off into the sunset with my wad of cash.

I'm in panic mode because of the incoming layoffs. I've been hearing horror stories lately about people wh--e in their forties. It used to be that people over 50 would have trouble finding a new job, but now it seems that the line has been moved to... — read more 

Does anyone actually have confirmation this is happening? Everyone is saying "It's going to be bad"...but how do you know that? I haven't seen any post showing this to be true. Now granted I understand this has happened in the past and the layoff... — read more 

Was just wondering if Verizon usually does layoffs on the same day or if they do it over a few days? I'm rather new here (less than a year) so this is all new to me. I'm just wondering if tomorrow is the only day we need to get through or if they'll... — read more 

Talked to several reps across the state. We all checked Resource Central for scheduling the incoming week. Atleast in VIR3/4/5 there are no full staffed days other than Black Friday. I think solution specialists (atleast in the SEM) are safe for the... — read more 

Can somebody please explain to me why would they be so heartless to do something like this just ahead of holidays??? How cruel do you have to be to ruin people's Thanksgiving and Christmas??? Not just for the employees, but their families too??? I... — read more 

People are trying to minimize what's coming tomorrow, but if you kept your ears open at the office you should know what's coming. Internet can be hit and miss (although this site has proven to be surprisingly reliable,) but if something is being... — read more 

It's so sad that year after year it's the same old story... layoffs, crazy quotas, toxic culture, leaders in it for themselves, greed. Aren't you tired of this mess? Get off the pity party wagon and empower yourselves to go to another company that... — read more 

They were smart and bought companies that are actually still in business. They are providing services that people actually want. People don’t want hum or go90. They want directv and HBO. They don’t care about NFL mobile. Plus Verizon is losing... — read more 

I hear that Khalid Hossain will be replacing Lowell!!! Let the good times roll!!!

I was just told on the 9th that our entire IoT team was being RIF'd, then reorganized. Don't be naïve about what is going to happen. You don't cut $10B out of costs without cutting headcount.

Is anyone hearing of layoffs in WBG?

Why do so many people get worked into a frenzy by visiting this site? There is not going to be a wide scale layoff on 11/16. There will be normal restructuring and org changes that result in some eliminated positions, but not the massive rifs as... — read more 

Hey all. There's a lot of fragmented posts on here that have zero to do with actual layoffs. As such, I thought it would be a good idea to have a specific thread devoted to anything credible that we know. On the Wireless side, in the past during the... — read more 

Anyone know whether system performance will be laid off or moved to the field.

When I got Rif'd last year after being brought to the managers office at 8am he handed me a RIF packet and letter saying my services were no longer required. He followed me to my 4x6 corporate cube with a box and watched me gather my personal items... — read more 

Seriously, build brands people love! Waste of money! When was the last time amyone used YAHOO as a search engine? The only thing i associate wirh the AOL brand is slow dial-up. Sh-- like this costs jobs.

Anyword yet on call center closings and/or layoffs?

Can someone please tell me what the call center supervisors do and why do we need so many of them? They never take escalations, they never do anything!

All of the management people who are going to get rif’d on Thursday you should all go on strike. Oh I forgot you are not in the union. Just remember you decided to wear the tie. This is just an expression from the 80s. Just remember when you were... — read more 

Meanwhile all of the top OTT services are low cost. Sling.... with 2M subs, is the only one that has live programming. But don't worry, whatever Verizon does will be as good as Go90... — read more 

First off is this real or is this just people making stuff up. Also if it is, is indirect involved?
