I’m currently at work checking email and nothing from the ceo but I am in wireline fios customer service but I thought that email would be sent out to all of Verizon I guess not.
If you are posting, atleast post what org you belong to
Say if you are VCG, VBG, GNT or VGS
Will they call if you are out today?
Had a pre scheduled PTO day, wondering if they’ll still call or wait until tomorrow. I’d like to get this cr-p over with.
Dan’s email: 13,000 layoffs today
Dan just stated it’s 13,000 in his email. Better than the 15,000-20,000 we were reading
Security patch reboot?
Anyone get this when the logged in this morning. Of course makes me ultra paranoid to have seen a security patch reboot prompt as soon as I unlocked my computer
8am! It’s here
Good Luck to all, calls should be starting soon. Whatever happens, just know that you will survive this! There is life outside of VZ
Sad day… Extremely NAUSEATING
Sending prayers to our entire Verizon family.
Two teammates got invites
I got nothing so far. Should I take this as a sign I might make it? I don't see why they wouldn't send out invites for the entire team at once. Is anybody in a similar position?
Dans email
Those who has received Dan email are safe?
Email Sent
I told everyone it was coming every RUMOR there is a truth in it, i wish he would have talked about the other layoff that will come in February after the frontier neegee is finalized too that number will increased as we had a VP who helped with the... — read more
Do Not Burn Bridges!
If you are fairly young and get let go, do not burn the bridge because Verizon does rehire in the future, in this job market, it is all about who you know most times.
10 min 1x1 invite by my SD this morning!
He could not hold his excitement and sent the invite before Dan's email!
Godspeed everyone
I hope things work out for all of you -- both those let go and those left to pickup the pieces.
Are contractors included in 13k?
Or its employee only special offer
Time to hit Glassdoor.
Wonder what 15k negative regiews would do to future talent thinking about joining this place.
20m Fund to Reskill
Is just Gemini, lol
Able to login?
If you are let go, can you login?
Sent my AD a text letting him know I was available at 8AM
Just in case he wanted to talk

Impact Tracking Thread
Vz team- please use this thread to report if you are impacted. Let’s use the below format Group—Band—last date VCG—6–12/30/2025 VBG—7—1/14/2026
Dan made 100% of workforce suffer mentally to cut 15%
This says a lot about him as a person or leader.. Verizon will be sinking ship. Forget customer loyalty, I do not think there will be any employee loyalty.
So what's your response going to be?
Say you get told in a few hours that you're being rif'd. What are you going to say in response to your boss? I know there's no options, just wondering how I'll take it if it happens and what to say in return, other than just sitting there... — read more
Abu Dhabi
While Hans is running through the streets of Abu Dhabi shouting “Leeeeeesssssss Gooooooooo” and Dan the man is completely silent, VZ Employees are left with what today? Who actually has any morale or pride left in working for this company? Is anyone... — read more
SD or Directors: When are you supposed to make first call
Can anyone reveal when the first call will be made and when to finish it ? It’s not a state secret.. you can say that much
REPOST: Twas The Night Before RIFmas
Twas the night before RIF-mas, and all through the store, not a salesman was selling, not one through the door. The severance was printed by HR with care, in hopes that the shareholders soon would be there. The "V-Team" was nestled all stressed in... — read more
I take comfort in...
I think my chances are about 50/50 of being impacted today. I started at the very bottom and worked my way up over 28 years. In that time, I’ve held—and mastered—multiple roles. These roles allowed me to learn how everything works. I’m one of the... — read more
Who's still here at 3 a.m.?
I think I'll just sleep through the entire weekend once this is over.
Lake Mary location - how bad will it be in lay offs? Hearing it could be one of the worst places to be for this layoff round?
Or am I just hearing nonsense? Why would they have something against white collar back office?
Take advantage of outplacement services
People often ignore these or maybe are too proud or whatever, but these can be invaluable. They certainly were to me when I was laid off from my last job.
This site is going to LIGHT UP BRIGHT tomorrow with everyone posting every minute.
This is going to become a very popular site tomorrow with all the folks from Verizon posting.
We should play a drinking game
I can already tell I will not sleep at all tonight, and with so many of us WFH tomorrow, the idea of getting through the day with a buzz sounds way more appealing than doing it stone sober. I know this is me trying to joke my way through the stress... — read more
