What's the prediction?
No news!?
I was expecting to start hearing something by now, leaders or even people on here posting some news. It doesn’t seem like anything is being announced today. I thought down to band 6 was happening today?
WFH customer care?
Has anyone heard about customer care?
PBGC rate - no longer being used by Vz in 2026
Just one more f you. I am thankful to have a lump sum pension of note (30+ yr employee) but I just lost about 35K.
If you are still in denial...
GNT was told to prepare for RIFs. So, this IS happening.
Don't worry though
As someone who has 8 lines with Verizon and I am sure a lot of employees are the same I expect Q4 2025 and Q1 2026 to be impacted by the laid off employees taking thier service somewhere else. Don't worry though, Dan the hatchet man 🪓 and his PayPal... — read more
Anyone know more about R2B? Want to know what people in the department think.
A lot of people seem to think we’re getting axed. I’m not so sure. Wanted to see if any R2B reps have any insight.
So by the Time Thursday comes we’re gonna be basket cases
I’m pretty sure by time end of week notifications go out most of management will need straight jackets from all the stress .We are all probably gonna be less useful after all this knowing if we made the cut we still may be on the next cut .Dan has... — read more

These will be the longest three days of my life
I think they're doing this on purpose, since I'm this close to just quitting to avoid having to go through this mental anguish even for a day longer. I wouldn't be surprised if some people already broke and quit. This is all a part of their plan, I... — read more
Just switched 8 lines to T-Mobile
Can’t support a company upending American workers’ lives while stuffing the execs pockets with millions. Just switched over 4 lines this weekend and convinced 4 other family members to switch to T Mobile. The best part is that T Mobile is in fact... — read more
Verizon CEO - Recent Interview / Insight to his thinking
Want to know what’s coming (for those left after the RIF)..a little insight; https://youtu.be/97kXYnL2PWc?si=6HeilcF-BTmQoHsm
As of this morning
Verizon employees have been advised (through management) not to speak on any social media or face being pulled into 'review meetings.' We're not even allowed to post group outings, literally nothing. What in the world is going on?
Vendors
What about the vendor employees who are part of the core teams at Verizon will their be any impact on their jobs. They are still part of Verizon org chart
Any info today?
Higher ups were supposed to get calls today.. anyone on here in the know and willing to share what’s going on?
I started quiet quitting today
Verizon has shown such disrespect toward all of us that it feels like they can't stand their own employees, and I really no longer feel like doing anything above the bare minimum for this place. Fu-k this place. I'm getting laid off anyway, if not... — read more
Disgusting

Unemployment pay?
If we get a RIF notice, how long before we can file for unemployment?
Lazy and uninspired leadership
Seems lazy to just cut 15% across board and say AI will solve all Verizons woes. Lots of stupid decisions over last 10 years that has dragged us into the quagmire. No easy solutions and the old slash and burn technique will not really help. Seems the... — read more
Foreign workers
I wonder as an American company if they will be RIFing customer service staff in the Philippines or India? Will they live up to their corporate responsibility to the American worker? Like many companies, they talk but won't live up to their... — read more
How many of you will stay on VZ phone plan if you get RIFd?
I am definitely not staying with VZ if I get RIFd and losing my employee discount. VZ is looking at 15000 disconnects soon? Overpriced and terrible customer service.
Most Impacted Orgs?
Which functions and departments will get hit the hardest? Thoughts?
Chill Mode if RIFd?
If we get a RIF notice on Thursday, during our remaining days with Vz, will mgt give us time to focus on job search, or instead have us continue BAU, close out projects and train our replacements?
Rumors on Accounting?
Has anyone heard about accounting or specific departments?
Huge shock with salary decrease in the Real World!
As someone who was RIFd years ago from Verizon… just be prepared of the shock of making a great salary at Verizon and then BAM! You will be taking a huge salary cut from what other companies are paying. Most effected employees will prob go to... — read more
Employees sick in stomach waiting for Thursday
So many of us are sick to our stomachs dreading Thursday’s RIF Day! This wait is horrible!! How can you even think about the holidays with this kind of anticipation. This is horrible. Plus the reality is if we make it this round, we can expect it to... — read more
It’s such a fiasco it’s comical
We had to find out from Reuters and the Wall Street Journal that 15,000 of us are losing our jobs this week. But from our own leadership team, we are getting radio silence. Instead, we have to come to this board in order to get any information. It’s... — read more
Layoffs will also cause more customer loss for Verizon- cancelled lines/service
Even though employees get a company discount, I would expect to see more lines/service cancelled for those impacted with the upcoming layoffs..
Future for R2B?
Any insights as to what the future holds for R2B? Only a couple months into my tenure (Sr Mgr) and very concerned.
Unionize now to fight for a better tomorrow
If we’d been unionized, Verizon could not just blindsided 15,000 of us overnight. A union contract legally forces the company to negotiate the layoff process first, things like timelines, criteria, alternatives, notice periods, and protections. They... — read more
How long does it take to find new IT job
Question to those from IT who took vsp or got layed off recently. How long did it take you to find a new job? I know market is bad.
At Risk?
When/If Rif’d, does your severance include at risk commission? Or just standard two week check per year you’ve been with the company?
All eyes on VZ this week
As a 20 yr employee who was let go last year, I empathize with what you all are feeling this week. But, it feels really good to be on the other side of VZ and moving on with life. I thought my world collapsed when I was let go last year, but I've... — read more
Massive Verizon Layoffs Announced (YouTube Video)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpuvjxDNrXk Most of the job cuts will come from Non-Union positions
Anyone else go from busy to overwhelmed?
Since the rumors started, my workload has exploded. I was already busy in my role, but now other work groups have been piling meetings and projects onto my calendar—almost as if they’re trying to prove how “busy” they are. At this point, I’m... — read more
