If we paid 25% more, we would have people motived to work harder. Instead we hire 2 extra people and do a worse job at the original task.

Let’s be honest, they su-k. We say they keep salaries low because they’re great at their job, when in reality they’re just incompetent and lazy. Not sure how they wake up in the morning and look at themselves in the mirror

Thank God it’s over!

how the heck is our country letting a key infustructor be controlled from out side the country

Good luck

Zero understanding of what their people do day to day. Say yes to everything without understanding time, cost, or impact on priorities. No domain experience. More time spent on building personal brands vs Verizon brand. “Good hair” or “good on... — read more 

Small wave in multiple departments

Wondering if there’s any updates on Lake Mary and any RIFs/impacted people. Been seeing a lot of LinkedIn posts from people getting hit company wide - wondering if anything is going on with lake Mary.

Looks like SMB will be sla-ghtered tomorrow! Good luck out there to everyone!

Verizon India is getting bigger at a fraction of the cost they fired. A ton of contractors moved those jobs to India. Now they're moving other networking jobs to India having our American employees train them so that their co-workers could then lose... — read more 

When are they going to be read out to employees? Will they have any impact for the next round or layoffs in November? Hopeful.

At this point, it feels like a lottery none of us signed up for. Will your number get drawn tomorrow?

Is it their goal to undermine the company? For what purpose? I honestly don’t get how this could be good for us.

Part of our problem which ultimately leads to market perception and revenue/layoffs. What the he-l are we posting stuff like this like we have anything to do with this robot. Its such a joke, we should be promoting our tech not someone... — read more 

seriously, if you were really willing to get rid of xx amount of employees in a title, why not make the surplus number that same amount, rather than make the surplus number half that amount? This way the union can't tell you that they won't allow... — read more 

CMO to be hit hard tomorrow on 10/22

His job was to raise the stock price. Period. A year later after tons of layoffs and share buybacks, stock is low. He failed. Fire him.

Verizon is highly likely to continue executing job cuts through the end of the year, driven by CEO Dan Schulman’s strict mandate to reduce operating expenses by $5 billion and the planned completion of the company's new AI tech stack by November... — read more 

According to her LinkedIn profile, NC's tenure at Verizon ended in July 2026. Meanwhile, TJ moved back to Value after just three months in Digital—despite major achievements in halving the size of the digital organization.

What’s everyone hearing. Lots of closed doors on director row today. Are the market consolidations happening this month?

What benefits are there for non union people that meet the true “retirement” qualifications. The 75 ( age plus years in). Someone said there are medical benefits available at discount?

Unfortunately the oversubscriptions were denied in FAA3 and most likely in all the other areas of NY. Got the email from the company a little after 4pm. Stuck working for a while longer. Good luck to all that did get it. Enjoy your retirements.

How do you answer that in an interview, without sounding like you were fed an answer by ChatGPT?

Dan, is this what you meant by delighting our customer and being customer obsessed ? Ok, got it. https://www.phonearena.com/news/iphone-handoff-feature-verizon-fee_id184146 Good lord, we cant get anything right

I get it, you’re rich. Don’t be an a--hole that you cut our comp to fill your paycheck

CXO is over and what’s left behind is so toxic. Pods not working. Who even is Wei-Lin and what’s the true purpose or her “playbooks”? Something isn’t adding up. Can Jonathan save the org or is it too far gone?

Been hearing horror stories across the board of HUGE increases on employee medical plans. What’s everyone’s guess on how much our fees will go up?

Victra just hired Zachary Powell to expand their SMB team. Actively hiring SMB standalone Sales Managers to run teams of 10 sellers. SMB will be laid off and transitioned to Victra in most markets with mass pay reductions.

Any truth to the rumours that anyone still using one of those lame red chair photos as a profile pic is in line to be riffed for not keeping up with the times and not reading the room? Maybe it’s just wishful thinking on my part…

We've lost too many people and they're still trying to figure out how to make everything work with what we have left. This is just my opinion, but it'll take at least a few months before they hit us again.

Anyone got a read on what "company-wide transformation" actually means? Rebadging still live? And are we looking at another RIF wave like this time last year? Any intel welcome, even partial.
