They are actually laying off field personnel when they need them the most. The years of chasing bonuses 1st levels fudging numbers, 2nd levels not verifying the fudged numbers, 3rd levels believing 2nd levels, we all know that its miss management... — read more

A fake degree from Harvard, a fake degree from Stanford, then no one can gain promotion without a degree. The majority of leaders at the "ridge" received their positions because the smarter, more qualified candidates didn't want to move to NJ. The... — read more 

In the spirit of "change energizes us", can we finally admit that, we have tried changing everything apart from our C-level leadership. T-Mobile has benefited greatly from the fresh perspective of a new leader. It's time for us to follow suite. The... — read more 

These layoffs ususally don't hit network side however I heard this one is different. All wireless network side of the house will go through restructure with layoffs?

Just a quick note that we haven't had any cuts at VES for a while. I know that some folks are speculating about Executive retirement plants, but I can tell you that it's business as usual for us grunts and that we are somehow managing to keep things... — read more 

Anybody has more info here? I am hearing VZ HQ reorg and/or layoffs in Q1 2016 - shifting things around big time. This has been a rumor since 2014 though, so I am not sure what to believe any more. My boss is 100% sure that nothing will happen, but... — read more 

FYI, I left in 2011 but learned about this today - you guys who are on the ground know this already but wanted to post this for folks that have left (like me)

I'm an agent with Transamerica Financial Advisors. The previous employee directed me here and asked that I post a little something to let the recently laid off (and about to be laid off employees) that if you have questions or need help with your... — read more 

We've heard the across the board cut rumors of 6%, 10%, 20%, which would lead one to think, no one has a clue. The patterns and actions I've come to recognize prior to the last few LARGE cuts, 20%, are not occurring at this time, which could mean the... — read more 

Just curious. Trying to time this thing, I have a slight feeling my days a numbered here at VZ.

Let's spread the word, layoffs haven't been covered by the media and we should make sure everyone is aware about the situation

This has been a terrible year, just look at AT&T's board, look at Verizon's board here and you'll see many messages from hundreds of folks complaining. The companies lost any loyalty to workers, they do everything to offshore work, there is no... — read more 

So, here is the rundown: the upcoming Verizon layoffs will affect 11 Regions, 2 Areas. Will probably start on 10/28, however 11/5 is possible as well. The cuts will affect 15% to 20% of the overal workforce in the regions/areas and this number will... — read more

Things appear to be far worse than we all thought, apparently we may start promoting people on merit, rather than their ability to manage-up. Also, and this obviously is pure fantasy, Directors and above will be actually follow the credo - I know... — read more 

Can someone confirm

Any layoffs in Temple Terrace, FL - I heard 3 folks were let go last week

Most go to the consulting firms that supply low cost IT workers.

The Verizon forum Joe Shmucks Board posts are more respectable and cleaner. Not liking the tone of some of these posts here, they seem borderline racist. Yes this country has an issue with hiring H1B visa employees but take the issue up with Congress... — read more 

This leads me to conclude that Verizon has no layoffs, right guys?

And everyone would live happy lives

I had to go out to Cali for a F2F. The IT building out there looks, sounds, and STINKS like some third world sh hole. It's loaded with H1b visas from India. We're not bringing them up to our standard of living, they're taking us down to theirs. The... — read more 

Verizon has not delivered on it's fios build out promise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_0DmJ3OeVc

There is an opportunity, I am not unhappy with VZ but considering jumping the ship for more money.
