I’m shocked how lethargic and resigned so many colleagues are to being laid off…once Verizon was a company to be proud of but right now? It’s a sad situation that employees feel so disconnected from the company

Is this an eventually going to become OPOO 2.0?

I had set up a 6% 401k contribution on my bonus payout to get the full company match. However, the 2025 STI payout paycheck doesn't have any 401k deduction. Therefore, I am guessing there won't be a company match. Anyone else seeing this? I have... — read more 

For those getting RIF notices this calendar year, I.e. not those notified in Nov last year… how are your severance benefits? I got my update and it’s not the same compared to the Nov benefits. Especially the stock vesting… I didn’t get my stock to... — read more 

Special Advisor & Director recently sold US$11m worth of stock On the 24th of February, Hans Vestberg sold around 225k shares on-market at roughly US$49.61 per share. This transaction amounted to 32% of their direct individual holding at the time of... — read more 

@b2+1kjbbze82 Makes a great point. These creeps are putting our pictures in Gemini, putting in our personal and work information and god knows what else. This needs to stop!!

Is today RIF notification day?

The last payday. $8600-ish in my case. Since I "volunteered" for the RIF, I must say, VZ has done everything promised. Since I was retiring anyway, it has been nice to get a sizeable amount of cash out the door! I do hope all affected are doing... — read more 

It should not be this hard. Artificially inflated titles and $$. My AD has 2 directs and my directors has total 7 people including contractors. It’s laughable how much inefficiency these people are adding.

Let’s just list all the rumors we have heard so I will go first heard the they want to get rid of the lump sum in contract also they want to lay off another 14,000 managers last day November.Now go ahead what you hear

I have a job alert set up for network engineering positions. This week and last week they’ve posted 4 or 5 in India. None in the US. Are they offshoring engineering???

When will the perfect attendance payout take place ? Its usually sometime in march earn a weeks pay for no sick time yeah its a thing

Read an article that there was 1320 employees laid off this past Friday...is this true?

Anyone hear anything?

You heard it here before me.

That would be a welcome change in stress levels for us lowly folks.

Can’t wait for the first level apocalypse that’s surely coming this year.

Maybe it’s the first of many to fall, or maybe not. We’ll see where this goes

I see some people mention they'd love to be laid off, but I'm certainly not among them. Not when jobs are this hard to come by. I'd rather suffer through a bad workplace than unemployment. But apparently, some feel the opposite. And I'm just... — read more 

After 12/19 cut I now can’t seem to access my benefits or Fsa. Also stock. Anyone else have this problem and solved it? Thanks!

Anyone else heard about RIF notifications tomorrow?

This question is for people who got impacted and no longer at VZ. In regards to stock award. I got 2 of the payouts and this week was rolling into the 3rd payout which is actual shares of VZ stock. When does it actually become available? When I log... — read more 

How some threads get deleted? Curious to know

Replace the first levels with AI.

My president is tight with people bargaining and he is saying save money and that a strike is coming. He said the company wants pretty bad things like more contracting, ending work from home, nothing at all for new guys, and really low wage... — read more 

To those that have already been removed from payroll, how long did it take to receive your vacation and severance payments after your last day of work? My last day was 2/20. I see the new paystub generated for this week, but it's only for five days... — read more

If you do t complain about pay they won’t do anything. Say you’ll leave. This is the only way it gets better

$80 an hour, can I take unpaid time off? What is the process

It seems the back and forth changes on trade are negatively impacting the market and consumer sentiment. This will likely make the turnaround of this place all the harder for Dan to achieve.

Your leaders are training AI to replace them.

I don't wish job loss on anyone, but it's always the grunts who get sc--wed. Management has been bloated forever, and some roles won't be missed, AI or not. If those of us doing the actual work, for the least pay, can keep our jobs given how tough... — read more 

Here’s where it goes wrong: It ki-ls specificity Good reviews are specific. Bad reviews say: “Consistently demonstrates strong teamwork and leadership.” That’s filler. That’s what AI defaults to if you don’t feed it real input. And vague praise... — read more

My union president said a strike is the only thing to prevent major concessions being demanded in beargaing by the company. Be ready to accept 1.5 and if lucky some 2’s and crazy insurance increases like we have never seen.

It’s a complete joke. My boss is doing the exact same thing. I genuinely don’t think he’s read anything longer than a text message in his life. At this point, it’s no surprise that intellectual laziness has become a full-blown pandemic in America.
