Can you still collect unemployment if you take the voluntary layoff? Asking for a friend lol

Tired of hearing from worthless non-customers facing people... (insert flaming) I’ll ask this if your so damn important and so much better than us in retail stores then why are you being let go and I’m still getting paid?

Over the last 5 years or so, the culture of VZW IT has changed dramatically. Instead of empowering engineers, they have essentially turned away talent and replaced with VDSI resources. There are 2 big problems here. Time zone issues: The turnaround... — read more 

Network has been down 30+ minutes. Customers (BGCO and employee line at least) are down. Someone sent me a text so I tested it... called the employee line and got a strange message that my call was being transferred and then the call dropped TWICE... — read more

Voluntary separation package received today (Wireless). My guess is that the different markets/regions are going to be consolidated again. Whoever doesn't take the buyout will likely be Rif or asked to relocate in the near future. Texas & North... — read more 

Or is there a cutoff in years?

I have seen an email some packages have already been sent out.

Voluntary Sep Program/Package being offered to select management employees in the US. I got the email this am, it's not a rumor. Volunteer separation dates are: 12/28/2018 (most will leave), March 22, 2019 and June 28, 2019 based on needs of the... — read more 

A lot of talk about it on VZ forum page here. Some say that some VzW IT guys already got an e-mail. Can anyone confirm this? What was in the mail? Does anyone know how many people will be impacted. Couldn’t find much details about it on the the other... — read more 

Or maybe don’t count on a iconic phone to make or brake your month my goal every month is to be paid by the 15th and I usually am and I’m not at the top of the zero use list I do my job and shut my mouth and I’ll continue to do so... 90% of the... — read more 

Finally starting to show a check. Renewal quote is so high, especially when all the phones before 1 aren't you coming out October. Starting to think selling cars would be a better business.

You should have received an email from your Director by now for a meeting on Monday or Tuesday. The package information is being sent company wide Monday AM. I understand they want 10k across the business to take the package. I say we all put in for... — read more 

There is so much chatter about the buyout at the other Verizon site, but not here. Which I find strange since most people who seem to be in the know keep saying that everybody will be affected, Wireless included. Did everybody here decide... — read more 

Wilmington is in for a long cleanup and recovery, and I’ve seen no reports anywhere on how the Verizon Wireless Call Center down there held up though the hurricane and flooding. Anyone have details?

Lately vzw corporate retail stores have not been upgraded or anything... makes me wonder... some stores look abandoned like Sears. I hear reps complaining about their equipment not working or broken... details pls.

There is more VZW discussion at the main page: https://www.thelayoff.com/verizon-communications I am disappointed how quiet this page is, the other one is much busier

So much anger towards assistant managers.. not all of them are like that. There is a bunch of us in my district that are fed up with the way the DM runs it. I stand up for my reps, I refuse to do unnecessary harrassment type coachings, I reached out... — read more 

Hearing that the CBO's for wireless are looking at another RIF come November. Anyone else heard anything? They keep restructuring our department. Also heard another re-org coming for operations.

VZW has thought of another way to screw laid off or retired workers. I just got a letter in the mail that they are reducing the 50% service discount to 25% effective January 1st. They went on to say if you switched from VZW to another provider that... — read more 

Just received a letter from Verizon notifying me that my Retiree phone plan is REDUCING IT'S DISCOUNT BY 50% effective January 2019! That's a pretty big hit for a retiree. Anyone else being hit with this?

It's rumor HR will be going around next few weeks to talk to employees. I also heard layoffs coming again in next couple months is why the big push for HR presence. Now's the Time to Union. Save our jobs!

"Integrity is at the core of who we are." is the key piece of Verizon's credo, however this is undermined by the fact we are being forced to sell a product that causes so much amimosity toward our customer experience. HUM is not a product that... — read more 

We were the best. We had the most customers. We could stand by the network. All we had to do was continue with the winning formula. Having the best Service. Not providing terrible products (physical or digital). Rumor had it we lost the original... — read more

I’ve been gone from Verizon for a few years, but when i was there it drove my crazy how this company could get away with dumping workload on the in store reps and never increase their pay and how they can constantly change quotas and commission... — read more 

Sprint rep in my area just communicated to our overlapping stores that he is being let go as part of labor reduction. Not sure if they just reduced head count or eliminated the channel altogether. I guess that just leaves Verizon and TMO with Account... — read more 

This has got to be the most useless position in the company. They don’t drive sales in the least bit. Our first person was a female who barely said a thing when she was in our store. She would come in and say hi to the management and just sit down in... — read more

Anyone feel like the SMB role will be the next to go? With One Talk sales going down ever since AR and Hunt are no longer free no one gives two sh--s about it. Not to mention the fact this it just had another outage.....

Why does VZW still have an indirect channel...waste of money and no value add. Gravy job for high pay. Smh Track them and see exactly what they do other than talk on conference calls and bs in the field. Easy.

Verizon Wireless, ATT and T-Mo/Sprint have all been open with their investors that in order to maintain EBITDA and margins, they have no choice but to rely less on brick and mortar stores and more on the cheaper (digital) channels. None of the... — read more
