Will employees be expected to turn in concession phones and laptops/computers/monitors, etc? They can't seriously expect 15k+ employees to return equipment. Is there a way to negotiate keeping them? What happens in the event you don't send it back?

if your manger has not received a list is this good or bad

I know that for sure, I’ve been trying to find something for months now.

I thought that the new CEO could be one of the rare good guys based on his history. I was so, so wrong.

I know a restructure was said to take place and 180 store closures.. do you think we will restructure all of the territories? How do we think Sr. Directors and Directors will be impacted? Or possibly Sr. Managers and Assistant Managers?

This whole sh*ituation is down to three things: 1). Hans. He was the CEO when we saw the company going from being leader in everything to leader in nothing an losing in the market. Buck starts and stops with Hans, all the while he spent more time... — read more

When they say cutting managers are these the higher ups or just management in general

Will the IT groups be targeted i this layoff

if we are the (un)fortunate, and our last day is 12/20 or 1/20 or 2/20, do we still get paid during this time? and then we get our package after? will everything be in tack as if we are still FTE?

What is the over/under Of Verizon getting out of the PS business all together just shifting all focus to wireless and broadband?

Verizon has a total of 100,000 US employees. Not all of the 100,000 are managers. So 15,000 manager jobs cut is more than 15%

Anyone notice that a few SVPs weren’t included in the Q&A today? Yolanda, Julie, Kwame? What could this mean? Do they have nothing to contribute? Some of the questions involved their groups… I would have like to see them speak.

I know there are plenty of trolls, but please, for the sake of the rest of the thread. Just leave the trolling for somewhere else. Have any band fives been asked to give a list or have been given a list?

Please don't rip my head off for this post. I have read the act and the "single site/location" of 500 or more employees confuses me. Im not a damn lawyer. I'm in a state that falls under the Federal guidelines of 60 days. Any wisdom if Vz will have... — read more

Our new CEO is being paid a $1.5M annual salary, with up to $50M in performance incentives. That’s equivalent to 500+ employees making $100K. It’s hard to listen to Joe Russo talk about surgical cost reductions when our CEO is being paid an annual... — read more

With layoffs looming and articles all over the news. Employee morale at its lowest but our VP , Jarrett - wants a plan to fix a metric. No one is addressing the stress and fear that our people are feeling. What a low person

What percentage of management is that? How many managers does Verizon have total? This is just an awful kick in the pants.

Am I the only one who only thought "okay" when reading the news? This has been dragged out for so long that I'm now numb and I don't even care anymore. If they want to get rid of me, so be it. It's not like those staying behind will be in a much... — read more

There goes the hope that we were just exaggerating, right out the window. I think my blood pressure just spiked.

Does anyone here actually know how they got the 15K number? Was it formula based on Pay, Insurance, WFH? Was it just spread across the whole business? Was it mainly performance based? Someone here surely knows this?

So 15k is the number. Which is still short of the 20%. So most likely round 2 will be after January. Those lists were already made as most people suspected. If anyone has actual details on how the layoff procedure works from prior experience, please... — read more

CNBC just reported (per WSJ) that Verizon is expected to layoff 15,000 employees next week, making it its biggest layoff ever. It’s coming. Sigh.

What a waste already. Still no concrete details because they are still trying to figure it all out.
