By the looks of the Midland office, the mothership is going to be shutting it down soon. No one‘s ever there they’ve closed the whole floor and the other ones are maybe 50% full. It’s only a matter of time before they start leasing out one of the towers. If I were one of the employees there, I would start looking at other competitors that value people close to the wellhead.

Did anyone else catch the call this morning talking about locations being closed (context seemed to apply to store and offices). They said they are creating ai gems to define profitability and determine if neighboring locations would absorb customers.

Planning is underway at this time for first quarter closing of the Bloomington Minnesota center and building.

I heard there was more phases after the first one. Any truth to this and what buildings?

Can anyone confirm if the Quincy office is indeed closed, and all the employees that were retained are now working from home? Also, was the requirement to live within a certain number of miles from an office removed as well?

Building on Alexander is closing June 15, 2026. All but a few are WFH with a handful going to HQ. Is this a simple move, shift or is there layoffs headed our way?

Aren’t we supposed to be moved by end of year? Or are we all Getting canned?

Are there any IT folks left in Denver? We were told the DTC office would shut down and to work downtown instead, but then it started raining axes.

Anyone negatively impacted by office closures? What is your management saying? Feel like they are preparing for something with all of this unprompted change

It seems most building offices are constrained for space and with the recent return to office, it has made hiring in locations almost impossible. Are they going to open up new buildings are get leases for locations constrained?

As expected from previous communication

I retired in 2018. At that time they were closing a handful of the regional offices and transitioning to the hubs. I haven't kept up with the effort to close the regions. Does the farm still have any at all?

They’re closing the HUB closest to my home. Is this happening in other areas too? I wonder if it’s because employees weren’t showing up.

Makes no sense.

Seems pretty obvious that the tech center in ATL is going to be shut down this round. But what about other remote roles in GT? Are they over? Most of my team is in NY

Wren US Holdings Inc. announced the closure of its showrooms. The manufacturing and retail company posted this on its website. This decision led to employee layoffs. Former staff were reportedly informed of their job loss. The exact number of affected employees remains unclear.

It seems to me the leadership is trying to have its cake and eat it. Stretch the remaining workforce as much as you can whilst expecting them to adopt AI, close multiple offices, remove any hope of career advancement unless you want to move 1000 miles, provide no clear strategy or plan and leave everyone on tenterhooks wondering if they’re the next one to be riffed. No empathy or support from senior leadership or HR. It’s a complete shambles and something major is going to go wrong very soon operationally. Verizon is not currently a coherent or fully functioning company. It’s crying out for some strong and clear leadership that adopt an understandable and logical communication plan

Lake Mary will close the 2nd and 3rd floors. Probably be told to work from home and then rifs after that.

Between Ai and Ai and TMI we it’s coming to a close.

Thanks for your candor.

Rumors from credible sources shared the company plans to move the NJ Englewood Cliffs office to TX, home of its phone business. Anyone hear anything?

Update from Dan notes that the bone tree office is no longer penetrating the market, so this office is confirmed to be closing. All employees moving to previous WFH model, and then RIFs determined at an “unannounced” date. Sounds like there will be some consideration regarding the amount of candor an employee demonstrates.

Email went out 29th is the day....Everyone is headed to Irving. Close colleague told me Irvine is shutting down as well.

May 29 is the date, got an email that everyone is headed to Irving. Close colleague was told yesterday about Irvine.

Just looking for some clarity:

What offices are closing and which date is the actually real for a rif. Either way I know we will have a big one prior to October due to the Stock Award being given that month. So obviously VZ will need people not here prior to that month. So Q2 or Q3 rif is in play. Will VZ wait till Q3 or is May actually for real?

Lay people off but save the square footage? Why?

It sounds multiple offices will be closed. Will they cut ppl in these office in the next step?

Anyone expect an update tomorrow on the locations being closed? Really ready to get this over with and have the company just be honest with us.

Thoughts?

So ridiculous. They are saying no directors except in Westlake or maybe Lone Tree. Even 59 PLs are getting warned during the interview process that they will have to get some sort of difficult approval. Do they genuinely expect everyone to move to those fiery city hellholes for this job? Cuz nope.
What about the offices THEY closed, like St Louis, New Jersey and Maryland? What about smaller offices like Chicago, Ann Arbor, Raleigh? And what about disability exceptions? If promotions are lost because of this policy, the lawsuits will be massive.

I know the old Dubin office opened at Polaris but is that place still there? Just wondering. I left the Dublin a couple years before it officially shut down. I've seen posts on this site saying it was going away but never heard if that actually happened.

So, was that an actual thing or folks talking out of their 🍑?

I've heard conflicting information on building closures that may be moving forward.
Does anyone have a list of locations, or information on how they're selecting buildings/campuses that are going to be closed? Does anyone know what that means for employees in those locations?
I've heard some locations, and then also heard that some changes in what locations are affected have taken place.
If anyone knows anything they can share, it would be greatly appreciated.
Rumors of an announcement date of 4/20, but I'm not sure if that's accurate, either.

In IL only 5 offices will be left. I cannot say which 5.
Customer Service has 3 waves, that will last to end of Q3.
All other states, likely main HQ will remain.
@dz+1knq4n7ym

Is there a date? Mostly RAN people left, but they got dumped into Ericsson for Texas or remote

Anyone have any word on what's going on with the Richardson building they acquired last year? I'm hearing some buildings in the Dallas area are going to be closed and the employees in those buildings will have to report to the Richardson location.

This is basically fourth hand, but I just heard they're trying to sell the office and everyone will be remote full-time.

Hearing rumors of the tulsa office closing. Does anyone have any information on this???
