Any areas that still have all their managers?

Should i tell my boss now i want go or wait to nov 20 to negotiate terms.??

Managers are currently in meetings after being asked to rank their employees. Not a rumor.

What happens to protected classes during a RIF? Are any special considerations given?

There was a lot of positive feedback to the CEOs blunt and honest call a few weeks ago, even with him flat out saying there would be layoffs and that his plan would be ready in 22 days...which put it right around the 20th. What happened? Did people... — read more

I know this will be downvoted but I figured I’d post it because it may help someone. Industries less susceptible to layoffs include healthcare, education, government, and essential services like food, utilities, and discount retail, as people need... — read more

For me, it’s a 10. I’m extremely worried that I won’t have a job next week.

This whole process was never going to be easy, but it could’ve been so much better if leadership had been upfront from the start. Instead, we’re left to guess and speculate because no one at the top wants to say anything concrete. A little honesty... — read more

I am thinking that Band 8 would be safe due to our low pay, would you agree?

I took VSP last year. It was a good decision. If you are given an opportunity, do your math and it may work well for you as well. I know this is not for everyone as people are in different states of career or personal growth, but if you are thinking... — read more 

Someone said Joe is gone? Is this true? Seems highly unlikely to me, he seems like one of the only good ones at that level.

With the SVP changes today, both in the business & finance…. I can’t help but to ask myself, how are they deciding who is being let go? These shifts imply that the new leaders do not know their org structure…. Who is good/ who isn’t etc. All we can... — read more

Verizon to focus on Verizon brands

What an s..t show this site is today.

Maybe people need to understand that one team could get hit at 30% and another at 15%. That doesn't make peoples posts a lie. It just means when they say 30% it may not be for everyone. Most Verizon employees have zero understanding of what goes on... — read more

A bit more than 15% cuts across the board. Every team is affected. The total will be just shy of 20K. They will have another round in Q3 2026. The stock will go up. Our ability to grow revenue will go down. This is just my gut feeling, I am not... — read more

If some layoffs still happen, I just hope it won’t be as massive as everyone’s been expecting. I need this job. We all do. At least until things get better. Then we can decide to hate it, change it, or move on. Right now, it’s a total sh-tshow out... — read more

Nancy Clark is gone from Value but got a promotion. So 11/20 may be right but what part of it will be wrong? I’m thinking it may not be a bloodbath.

Someone is spreading fake news here. Nancy just got new meaty role. Stop spreading rumors if you do not know
