retail store shrink is about to skyrocket
Can you imagine all the random phones and accessories about to go missing from disgruntled laid off workers? I suspect airpods will be the biggest take.
Kinda wish I'd have been RIF'D Today. The reorg is gonna su-k. Double work with no pay increase.
And with the double amount of work you'll be at risk for making your goals. If you don't you are under performing and the next to be cut and maybe with no severance........?
Any one impacted in IL or WI
Any stores close in the Illinois or Wisconsin area.
Complete career change?
For those that were RIF’d, are you looking for employment in your same line of work, or do you desire something completely different?
A friend's brother...
A friend of mine's brother coaches college sports. The nature of that job means getting 'let go' every 3-5 years, always around the holidays. It's a brutal job. My friend lost their job a few years back and called her brother for advice. She told... — read more

Has the Alpharetta office been affected?
I’m looking to get hired at Verizon as a developer in Alpharetta, Ga. Have layoffs affected the Alpharetta location? Is there a hiring freeze now in place? Do I still have a chance of getting hired?
Well, shoot. My location isn’t closing, but I still got booted.
Good luck to the rest of you. I just hope I’m not stuck out there jobless forever.
