Mini reorg and layoffs. Not sure the total count let go. I know of at least 5. No announcement or recognition from leadership. In fact, Vince and Devin relaxed on PTO as this went down. Anybody got more information?

As a fomer employee i feel like the DIRECTV is lying to employyes and customers. As a 22 year employee, I helped develop new talent and hung around until June 2025. I loved my job and my boise team, but I have to say as I tried to find issues to... — read more 

did anyone see it? Someone asked about job cuts, and he said we are 74 management employees over right now which is 2%, but our normal churn is 3% (people leaving on their own), so he doesn't expect any cuts this year. His words not mine. Just... — read more

Is this going to be an interesting year as it relates to DIRECTV layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

I've heard that another 10-15% of layoffs are coming around the corner. Our subscriber base keeps falling. I'd have to think this is accurate. What are other folks hearing?

There was a post about the toxic environment at DIRECTV with Cyn and Steve. I never worked for them but why was this removed? It’s not just them that bully and retaliate. This is common in many groups from marketing to IT so why remove it?

With the completion of the sale to TPG what is the outlook for Uverse service? There is a lot to untangle in the network. I suspect it is much easier to shut it down and move the customers over to a DTV Streaming package via a promotional initiative... — read more

Are ya'all keeping your DTV pension from a while back or are you cashing out as soon as eligible?

Yes, get it over with, so what few employees are left can get on with their lives. Back years ago DTV was fresh, but now it has all the allure of rotting fish.

Things must be pretty bad; last day was mar 21 and I filed my GRW by the following Monday. Asked about when I could expect my severance and they said within 45 days. I'm still waiting. I'm betting they are hanging on to it for as long as they can. I... — read more

A very high number of the commercial installs being closed out are not actually commercial accounts. They are residential homes that usually have past due accounts, don't qualify for new service, and definitely don't have a business. They make up... — read more 

Many people have said today is the day for a big layoff. let us know please what you hear and if you were impacted. Also please let us know what the package/severance is.

My inside sources are advising us of additional layoffs throughout the year which will impact all departments (20% of our total workforce). Layoffs will be done frequently, surgically, and in phases rather than the typical annual massive layoff; Wild... — read more 

That’s what I have learned. Effecting many management levels.

What are you all being told about the merger? Will there be cuts, will direct tv departments have priority over equivalent dish ones if there is overlap? Or is it not seen as a big deal on your side?
