Please Advise RE: Return offer
I got a return offer from an internship at Verizon. I have just gotten one email basically saying I'm safe for now, but I know that a ton of my team was affected. The job is a good fit for me and where I want to be (Austin Tx). Am I a sitting duck... — read more
The Redcoats are coming!
Frontier Communications and their minions in Rochester New York! Consider yourself warned!
Seriously, FU-K YOU DAN!
Not sure why everyone is justifying this bullsh-t. What Dan did was diabolical.
Still Here But Don't See the Point
We now know that nothing matters, so why do anything?
Lack of any acknowledgement is pathetic
The fact you can work for a company for over 30 years and not get one thank you or goodbye from leadership or even your peers is very telling and just plain sad. Before any of you trolls starts saying move on and get over it, just remember your day... — read more
Verizon Stock Down Again - Dan Effect
39.82 USD 1.37 (-3.33%)past month Closed: Dec 19, 7:58 PM EST • Disclaimer
Man it was sad reading all the Farewell emails today
I have to say I was quite affected by all of the farewell emails that came in today. I feel bad for the long-term employees who now have to look for a new job and will certainly face ageism. I feel bad for the impacted who don't live in a major... — read more
Dan Believes He Can Layoff Verizon Employees Into Prosperity
Dan foolishly believes A.I. will magically fix everything wrong with Verizon. The only question is how much damage will he do before he leaves?
Is this really possibel?
Today I heard from a source that's been pretty accurate so far that another 8,000 might be shown the door in February. Can it be?
I just got a few hundred thousand dollar retention bonus
If you deliver for this company they reward you. But a lot of people are just well meaning dead weight, and they should have been axed years ago. Maybe stop crying about your misfortune and and go make your own fortune.
Last day if laid off?
Confused on what the last day is if you are apart of the lay offs. I was told the 20th and now it’s the 31st. Which is it?
Why Let Go of Good Senior Staff
We were told today that our rep of 20 years of working at Verizon was let go. What type of bull sh-t is this? I would expect this from SeaWorld but not a company like Verizon.
Am I imagining it?
Or is Office First policy being quietly ignored now…seems so many folks have reasons not to come into the office that the whole policy is not really being enforced
Hilarious who got saved.
Last day is today, every single person I have spoken to has asked me for something. “Hey where do I get this?” “What happens if I see this error?” “Where is the code for this process?” If you need those questioned to be answered, then you were saved... — read more
Equipment return kit delays
Anyone else experiencing the delays in receiving the equipment return kit? I was told it would not impact the severance if I'm unable to return the equipment until early January. My last day is today.
What happened in Dublin? Sourcing cuts too?
Some received emails that today will be their last day, no severance.....
Volunteerism
Have you noticed that the constant volunteer harassment has ended. Maybe Verizon is turning a corner.
Happy Last Day Zuckers
So great to see some of the managers who used to brag about cutting others leaving today. Especially in GTS. Wish Shankar was leaving today as well.
Now entering the chaos phase
Knowing the management excellence and expedience, and the fact that there was no real plan beyond merciless cuts, who knows how long it will take for the dust to settle and for there to be even a semblance of an organized workflow. My team is already... — read more
Verizon Pension
My Verizon net credit service is not recognized by Verizon benefits/pension, because I worked in three different parts of the company. I am literally days short of qualifying for my full unreduced pension benefit, even with them not recognizing all... — read more
It Finally Feels Real
For the last 29 days, I’ve known I was leaving, but it never really felt like real life until now. I think subconsciously I was thinking, “This can’t be real,” or, “I’m going to wake up any minute now.” But no matter how many times I pinch myself, I... — read more
U.S. based customer facing is in chaos.
People on the phones seem to be more adversely affected than most. Leadership has checked out. For most, support is non-existent. Veterans saying it is the worst it has ever been. Some are talking about walking.
Per Dan the network just needs to be good'nuff. Yep, and Chrysler's cars last and run just like Toyota's. And Venezuela and Iraq both have WMDs
Keep this in mind while reading the below: A new build costs ~$500,000 (under/over deploying equipment costs even more). It pays to get the best performance up front. Mod projects cost less, but rework adds up fast. Don't forget about rent at the... — read more
Why these newbies bothering to care really vexes me

Severance portal login
I know I saw it posted on here before can someone remind me what the password is? Is it your last name + birthdate?
Most of older group of 8 of 18 RFEs (cell site designers (macro and SMC) in CARTN (part of GNT) riffed. Make network better?
The older workers pdf clearly showed a bias in laying off the older population of RFEs. A couple of very recent RFE hires were included in with the riffed group (to mask the age discrimination?). Were RFEs in other regions affected similarly? Also... — read more
Caroline Armour Visiting Lake Mary
Caroline (SVP) is visiting Lake Mary today. Anyone know the purpose of their visit a day prior to the last day of the folks affected by the layoffs? The leaders already look like they are putting on fake smiles and fake energy.
Still no plans
Those of us who survived are still in limbo.. there is no new plan or no new priorities. I do not know what’s going on
Verizon's Share Price?
What will be Verizon's price/share after the duly Frontier Telecommunications merger? By the way, earlier this week, Jim Cramer, CNBC's Mad Money, took a caller's Verizon question, and emphatically said, no to invest money into Verizon's shares.
Corporate Layoffs
This sounds a lot like a Verizon cutbacks which are contributing to this current trend. November and December cuts will likely be no better. Job cuts surge in worst October layoffs in 22 years. Nov. 10, 2025, 12:47 p.m. ET Propelled by cost... — read more
Union EIPP in February?
I am hearing that the union will be getting an offer in February. I heard they will be offering a 4 and 4 as an incentive to all.members.
Maybe if they promoted people who actually deserved it
none of this would have happened in the first place. I’ve been here for more than ten years, and every round of cuts, reorgs, or leadership changes I’ve witnessed has been about shedding competence while retaining or promoting failure. There have... — read more
Pre-EISP positioning?
Just stumbled across this really; cross-checking rumors and such.. I was uploaded 3 months ago. Anybody else seen local CFA's pre-positioning? Wall hangings, emails? https://youtu.be/UD5sadFMbUM?si=xDF0IIFgxyEW8AZT
Hmmm Who can it be?
