The job was a dead end anyway. Severance is decent, I've got savings, and I can afford to give myself a well-deserved break for a few weeks before I start looking again. I'll find something eventually. No point in stressing. Good luck to everyone still there, and always keep an eye out for something better.

Good luck over the next two days everyone. See you on the other side whatever that turns out to be.

Good luck!

Severance papers signed and looking forward to my 6 months of free money. Over 25 years spent at O and now it feels like a divorce, in a good way. It is time to move on and enjoy my early retirement. So glad this chapter is over!

8 hours for today -- 40 hours for the week. The market says my time is more valuable spent elsewhere. You guys have a great weekend.

I’ve been here for over a decade, and I’d be lying if I said it was all bad. There were good times too, even if the bad has been more prominent in recent years. I’ll miss my coworkers, and I’m hoping we’ll still grab a drink now and then. I’m ready to move on. Good luck to everyone else, I hope life treats you well.

Got the generic email this morning. Just one month short of my 15 year mark. I have seen a lot of good people and engineers treated in similar fashion so I knew this day would come sooner or later. All the best to everyone affected.

i got one, but it was a good ride in the industry, quarter of a century

Good luck folks! It happened to me this morning

Received a catch up request last Friday for Monday morning and was just told my position is being eliminated. Good luck all

Noticing a lot of random folks saying goodbye today, different parts of the company…. Eeek :/ something’s brewing..

Happy hour to celebrate?

As we are now officially without the CTO... is this the last moment to leave this company?

This layoff round is taking a large amount of causalities. US/CA/UK/EMEA/India

Good luck to all

I just put in my two weeks after getting the bonus and accepting a new fully remote job that I start Monday. Rick and EC you will not be missed.

Last day was 2/20. Already saw my health improve with my BP and stress coming down. My kids see me more and my quality of life without that workload has been wonderful. Universe was good to remove me from that shedshow happening now. Peace out VZ. You were but only a training ground in my career journey. Only regret was I wish I left before I put more than 10 years in.

Action speak louder than words. Bye-bye.

At this stage in my life I have come to look at companies like ranches and I am just a hired cowboy to help drive their herds north to the rail head. In viewing the modern working world this way I don't get too attached to any one company in my life when working in the field of IT. Yesterday the cattle boss said in a not so surprising one on one Teams call that I was no longer needed. I got my notice and packet in my personal email later in the day. I tried logging in one last time on my company laptop this today, but my account had been disabled. So I packed up the monitors, dock, meraki, phone, laptop etc. and took it over to the UPS store. Got my UPS equipment return receipts with tracking numbers to the Bloomfield "Wild Bill" Depot. Now I ride off into the sunset to another ranch over yonder. Hopefully everyone laid off finds a prosperous new ranch and cattle boss to work for. You all worked really hard here and still have tremendous value and potential yet. Stay positive and I wish all of you Happy Trails!

I got the layoff call last month, last day is in May. Others on my team who are buddy-buddy with leadership got promotions at the same time. Needless to say I’m done giving this company anything more. I’m withdrawing all internal transition applications and barely going to reply to emails. For the next 2.5 months, I will swipe my card and turn around go home to apply external roles. I can’t believe how many extra hours and long nights I spent working for this company. Congrats to all promoted and good bye to all!

Not sure if this is it guy. But I just got a meeting with my manager, their manager, and someone else I don’t recognize.

I guess this is me signing off from Oracle

Wish me luck

Just a sad day for all those impacted. Some really good workers let go who have been here a long time. The rest are wondering when their turn will be.

25% of our department was cut and I only heard of one person finding a internal role in the 2 weeks. Good luck to everyone. This job doesn’t define who you are as a person.

I have been searching for a new opportunity outside Verizon and it took a while to land a new Job because of the market conditions.

Good luck guy's hope you landed the job that's make you happy soon

Received the notification of my last day Feb 6th. I wish everyone the best here. It was not my ideal place to work but I came here 2+ years ago thinking it might grow on me. On to the next thing.

I was so fed up with the work and the constant anticipation of losing my job that I'd lost any motivation to work extra-hard. And I constantly felt guilty about it. As if being a hard worker would've made any difference. We all saw today that being good at your job means literally nothing. Anyway, I'm off. Good luck to everyone. The only good memories are the nice coworkers I met along the way.

Nice knowing yall!

good luck to everyone.

I can’t wait for this week to be over.

All SDR teams received pack it up boxes! Good luck to everyone affected by this!

If it is happening today I just want to say I've loved working with you all. I hope the right decisions are made but regardless, I hope you have amazing outcomes and a wonderful future.

Good luck! Especially to the Aerojet folks

Happy new year everyone hope yall have a successful year getting out of OT and landing an actual job in a better / good company. I would say great but even good is better than OT. I will be interviewing over next two weeks. Good riddance OT. They don't know what's going to it them in next week or so. Good luck OT "leadership" trying to fix this.

2026 will be the last year of AT&T employment for many. Make the final weeks count.

May the odds be ever in your favor!

The fact you can work for a company for over 30 years and not get one thank you or goodbye from leadership or even your peers is very telling and just plain sad. Before any of you trolls starts saying move on and get over it, just remember your day is coming. I hope this company sinks faster than the titanic.

To those who are leaving Tomorrow, may God iluminate your new path and help find success on your new endevours.
To those who get to stay.... May you have peaceful and joyful holidays. Please leave this board for now ......Come back in about two/three months......

Hope all Dell workers and previous Dell workers have a wonderful XMAS. In 2026 you want to rid yourself of Dell and ensure you sell any Dell stock you might own...

After a lot of thinking, I've accepted an offer from a new company. It was tough, but the layoffs and lack of any real path forward here made the choice clearer. I'm really looking forward to a fresh start where I can actually focus on doing good work. I wish everyone the very best.

Good luck in the future to all new alumni.
