Rumored 750 cuts.

So I heard that the VBG sales Europe all hands call just happened… apparently was a 10 webinar speech… for 2026 go to market strategy. It sounds to be a bloodbath for VBG in Europe.

Verizon retaining employees with H-1B visa status versus retaining US citizens. What gives? What is the US employment law statue?

I hope all this is true, send me some cash and let me never work here again. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Joe is hosting a q&a tomorrow. Who thinks there will be real insight or valuable info shared?

We are already short people with several reqs open and one stopped during the hiring freeze before interviews could be done. If they need to cut from my team do these count as a headcount?
