Is anyone working on this project at a corporate level? Accounting was told the timeframe is 12-18 months, can anyone comment that’s in the know?

AI Layoffs
Somehow, after being RIF’d, I’ve come to believe that if AI truly represents the future, it may actually bring more fairness and consistency to decision-making. Unlike human systems that can be influenced by favoritism or bias, AI has the potential... — read more
Severence
Has anyone received there severance lump yet
How long until the dust settles?
If ever. I’m not looking forward to my severely crippled team scrambling to cover the roles that are now gone, along with all the overtime and stress that will come with it. Our manager is likely to put even less effort into organizing the workload... — read more
Trying to trust the reset
I'm still not convinced Dan is a bad thing for this place. I think it'll just take some time and pain to get where he needs to be to see the positives. I could be wrong, but I'd rather wait to make my judgement than make it right away and proceed to... — read more
"Declination of Notification Period" Form -- Has Anyone Attempted?
THEORETICAL SITUATION: You're in NJ and were given 90 days notice; however, you have another job lined up to start well before then. According to the "Mgmt Severance Program FAQ" doc: "If you seek to separate from the company prior to the last day... — read more
Tell me your Verizon-related New Year's resolutions
Is it to leave (that's mine), quiet quit, tell your boss to go f himself? Something else?
Fiber Chief Network Officer LinkedIn
So a nearly 3 decade long legacy exec gets a new job, brags about it on LinkedIn during the holidays when 13k people have been laid off, and makes the same best network talking point that customers clearly don’t believe anymore - and we’re supposed... — read more

Value
The amount of people patting themselves on the back for Total wireless on LinkedIn is embarrassing and cringe. These fake MVNOs are the downfall of VZ. How about focusing on Verizon brand and not 10 other brands? Value teams are cringe.
Nothing has changed with Dan and nothing will
I’ve watched a steady parade of senior leaders come and go, and after a while it hits you that there aren’t any truly new ideas. It’s the same playbook over and over, just repackaged with fresh buzzwords and a shiny new label. I can’t count how many... — read more
Last Paycheck
Did you guys get your last paycheck for the week of 14th December? I thought it will be paid this week but I dont see it under work history.
Where will Verizon be?
Just make your best guess/bet. Where do you see Verizon 5-10 years from now?
My team is a textbook example of botched layoffs
Almost all the strong performers are gone, and the useless su-k-ups are still here. Our old manager still reigns supreme and remains the worst I’ve ever had the misfortune to work under. They couldn’t have messed this up more if they had tried.
Dan the Hatchet Man
Let me get this straight, Dan is Mr. AI, sits on multiple AI company boards, can clearly see in the the future so much that he slashes 13k jobs because AGI is 10 months away. But he only does email? Wait Mr. AI only does email a century old... — read more
Severance Portal Help
I can no longer access the Severance Portal from my personal computer following my last day worked (it worked prior to 12/19). It also won’t let me reset my password. I sent an email to the address I located with no response as of yet. We’re... — read more
Questions for those who've been RIFed before
From Verizon or anywhere else. What happens if you get a job right away, can you work at another place and still get your severance? On the opposite end of the spectrum, if the severance you got runs out before you are able to find another job, are... — read more
Severance document sign help
I am trying to sign and it says invalid agreement id. How do i go about it? I thought we had 45 days from last day on payroll.
Hey Mr. Schulman, what you doing about the VZ stock price, nothing much as of yet, for now? Ouch, business as usual!
Hey Mr. Schulman, what you doing about the VZ stock price, clearly nothing much for now? More upside to come?? Or else is it business as usual, ouch!

Got a stock vesting notification on Fidelity app
Logged into Netbenefits today and saw the notice below. “Your stock plan shares and/ or cash have vested”.
Verizon and the Union will negotiate layoffs for represented members to supports retiree healthcare.
Direction Anyone?
Anyone receiving ANY direction from their leaders since 11/20? Our organization has changed and our responsibilities are supposed to change but it's been over 30 days and nobody has provided an ounce of direction.
Q4 '25 Earnings
Looking forward to the earnings call. Can we reach 600k customers loss in a year? Blows my mind that failed leadership is not held accountable. Maybe we can have another Kevin Hart commercial where VZ leadership laughs at the competition who are... — read more
RTO is an antiquated strategy
RTO is an antiquated strategy based on how the company was in 2010 not 2025. Our roles have changed as have the people, and their locations, that we all interact with. There will be no measure of success because it’s based on a belief in... — read more
Did CX Execs keep their job?
With Dan acknowledging our customer service is horrible, did customer experience execs (Ken lain, Suzanne Norton) keep their job or were they impacted with the RIF?
I’m having a great time because I was laid off
I thought I would fall off a cliff when it happened, but instead I’ve never felt so unburdened. It wasn’t just the relief after all that anticipation, but also realizing how much I actually hated my job and how completely I had lost perspective on... — read more
Why only an Extension?
Why is the union negotiating for an extension? Why not get a new contract. They have to fix retiree Healthcare. Then the union should try to get everyone a pension or at very least a bump in the match in 401K plans.
Avoid the Smoke and Mirrors
Hans used 5G to try and distract us from reality. Dan is using AI. The long term plan is not dictated by either of these technologies and while the changes and headcount reduction are part of a plan, we will not know what that plan is until it... — read more
