Emails are en route.

Heard from 5 people in different departments that that 25% number being floated around is basically accurate.

Doing this the week before a major holiday makes it more depressing. Not just for those on their way out but for the peers who are left behind to pick up the pieces until the next set of RIFs. Put us out of misery and tell us sooner

I have an offer in hand (been in the interview process for 3 months now, casually applying and interviewing) and they're asking me to accept the offer by TODAY. The pay isn't that great (not a lot than what I'm making now) but the role is quite... — read more 

Y'all given a mask and voila! the racism is revealed. Listen, if you wonderful Americans were smart and effective, there is no need for the management to go around looking for "PoOr InDiAnS". They know Indians are smart, efficient, and get the job... — read more 

outsourcing ruined this company top to bottom. I have been seeing this decline for last 6-10years. IT apps being built are below college project level. If Dan really wants to fix this he should start the reboot there

As always. That’s why we’ve been shedding competence, experience, and institutional knowledge like there’s no tomorrow.

There’s been talk, from a source I trust, that leadership has been exploring workforce reductions. The numbers being floated include cuts of 15% up to roughly a quarter (25%) of staff under each director across most departments. The focus appears to... — read more 

I believe it only impacts who has made good $ . not the real workforce.

Is the union and company done negotiating? I haven’t heard anything about negotiations, either good or bad. Last I heard it was unsettled on many issues. So now does it just sit till after the holidays? August is on its way. If anyone has feedback... — read more 

Job cuts in October hit 153,074 - up 183% from September and 175% from last year. Highest October since 2003. Tech sector cut 33,281 jobs, nearly 6 times September's number, due to AI changes. Total for 2025: 1.1 million cuts, up 65% from 2024... — read more 

hey if you get riff'd ,theres nothing you can do,pick yourself up and move on crying about it on this site does nothing for you.

iPhone 17 is now available for employees. Get it before holiday season rush.

Working for this company is absolute he-l. When working in tech you are still expected to sell sell sell. 99% of our continued training is nothing but sales soft skills. The only thing this company cares about is "adding phone lines" if someone has... — read more 

All of them getting kickbacks to outsource to only Indian Sampat and Shankar took Han’s to Indian te------t PM and they promised more jobs for Indian Now new CEO same with old plan Can we replace CEO with AI?

I’ve seen some previous posts on NJ WARN but no real clarification on whether VZ has filed/notified. Sounds like they have been able to skirt this in the past, but I assume not this time with significant layoffs happening in a 30 day period.

I know for a fact some layoffs have already happened. Why isn’t anyone coming on here and giving details?

Is it safe to assume the lists have been distributed and that the VPs are reviewing them?

So, since around Dan's epic 3Q webcast (where he actually didn't even discuss 3Q), the only positions posted have been retail, and maybe just a couple random others. I realize there's a freeze and likely the reason, but I'm still surprised to see... — read more 

The company culture is built on a foundation of distrust, particularly regarding leadership and feedback mechanisms. Pulse surveys are treated as a joke; the promise of anonymity isn't trusted, and employees see no positive change resulting from... — read more 

VZ cannot put you on the list if your out on dissability..lol just some info

This is just my view. Customer facing roles = Safe Operational / Back office / Marketing = Not Mid-Level Reporting / Your job can easily be automated = Not Band 6 and above (5 to C-Wing) = Nope Not safe means up to 25-40% reduction. 16 more days... — read more 

Someone talking about few key well known leaders are going to let go. Anyone knows more about it. Big guys names are in the talk. Share or if you hear anything about it.

Anyone here anything on Case Management / Customer Champion Team? Will there be any RIFs for them?

Outsource Scammer: “I have a sale for you, they want everything.” Me: “Great, thank you.” Customer: “Hi, the previous representative told me I would receive $2,000 in credit and one year of free service.” There is NOTHING honest about them.

Anyone else unable to access the My Performance section of the HR portal to enter their year end comments?

Per internal docs it appears that the entire mid market channel (from VP down) will be eliminated due to poor business practices. SMB directors and their teams will be assuming mid market roles and territories. Retail store GMs will be dissolved and... — read more 

Have heard of a crash in Pulse participation… anybody seen this?

I might not have liked all of Dan’s message but at least it was spoken plainly and honestly. What is really annoying and a little disturbing is that a lot of our leaders now seem to operate like politicians. They ignore anything negative or... — read more 

MPs were the first to go this week. Maybe this means no more markets??

And clueless management to boot!

Big companies are laying off and repositioning themselves to run more like a start up. Why? Because everyone has AI FOMO! Everywhere you look billions are being invested in AI. The work force is getting trimmed before companies understand whether or... — read more 

I have this feeling I’m not long for my current position anymore if that happens. I work under John Blanchards org and we just had a layoff in August. I think I’m being paranoid but since Srini is taking over soon… I just don’t know. The market is... — read more

Thoughts on this shocking move? If saving money is the long game, then make the move now! Sell the assets. Cancel the contracts. Exit these high tax states. Don’t offer relocation. Eliminate 50% of corporate staff at HQ. If you don’t face a customer... — read more
