#officeclosure

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???

Will Reston office be around ? Hearing rumors it might close

Everyone is focused on the closures in Texas and Illinois offices, but Albuquerque’s situation is interesting. They closed one office within the last few months but shifted everyone to Alexander, does that mean Albuquerque is actually safe, or is that just a temporary pit stop?

Which are confirmed so far? Here are the ones I’ve heard where entire offices will be sent home:

IL:

Belleville
Danville
Jacksonville
Lombard
Marion
Mattoon
Quincy
Rockford

MT:

Great Falls

NM:

??

OK:

??

TX:

Abilene
Amarillo
C1 Lab (Dallas)
Marshall
San Angelo
Wichita Falls

Can anyone confirm any others?

All employees assigned to the West End Center transitioned to remote work.

Last day working in the office was March 31, 2026.

Around 150+ employees impacted.

Heard from a sales manager today Alpharetta is closing

This will be my last post about temple terrace but it is 100% closing so just get ready. The ASI 3 auction is few days ago and they have Desktop, monitors and security cameras listed. The monitors listed have a unique 10 digit V asset ID so you know they’re Verizon assets. The fact they haven’t announced anything yet is kind of ridiculous and just shows you how little they actually care for their employees. I work in sales, I know a lot of you who report to that building don’t work in sales. Not sure what they’re going to have you do. I heard they’re working on rebadging most you guys though.

They’re also moving superheadend to Macdill Air Force base. This is known as Macdill relo project VZW.119.20. If you aren’t familiar with that Superheadend is, it’s basically the Brains of Verizon FIOS.

Do whatever you want with this information I don’t care. You can even deny it and tell me I’m wrong, but the amount of evidence I have is indisputable.

many poeple have been let go recently but heard there is a plan to shut down the office . can anyone confirm it

Original SF Main branch shutting down according to teamwork. Sad end of an era. Though was already the end when the museum shut down.

Sounds like years in the making.

What does this mean in terms of greater company structure? Spinoff? Reorg? More jobs offshored?

Just received an email for a sales blitz for Alpharetta, Irving and Temple Terrace. I'm not sure about Alpharetta, but I know for a fact Temple Terrace is being decommissioned within the next two weeks. Items are already being auctioned on ASI 3 auction catalog lmao. This is how bad our leadership is. They sent an email for a sales blitz for a building that won't even have any furniture within the next few weeks lol

Do we know anything about Tulsa and whether it’s being chopped? Huge cavernous and dated building with a couple hundred people huddling on 2/4 floors in 1/5 wings. I guess we own the big tu-d but been trying to get rid of it for years. Odd that it don’t come up in these conversations about what offices are closing because it seems like the first one I’d get rid of

If you are wondering if your office will be closing soon let me help you figure that out.

1. Go to workday.
2. Go to your organizations
3. Find organization that list all of the employees who report to your building or office.
4. Write that number down.
5. Figure out the capacity of your building(Google search or gemini)
6. Now do some quick math and divide the employees of that org over buildings capacity and times that by 100.
7. If your number is below 65% capacity, your office is almost certainly closing.

Remeber Q2 starts in a few days and they have a strategic plan to save 5billion on opex spending. Without closing a ton of offices, how else would you think they would get there?

I heard hidden ridge/Irving will remain open and 400 International/Richardson will close. People can decide to move to hidden ridge or WFH

So about 12-13 years ago I told everyone I was the bridge to something else. I told you we had the best claims workforce in the industry, without exception, but the cost of this was too expensive and we didn't need to be that good, but just good enough. I told everyone the days of working at SF for 35 years and retiring was over. I told you most people will never finish their careers at SF and it will just be a place for you to get some work experience and move on to something else. I told you to stop questioning decisions because the people that designed the future state model are much smarter than you. I conned everyone to move to a Hub City or long term growth facility just to turn around and close more offices. I told you our systems could never support a WFH workforce and oops we did it in a matter of days. I artificially lowered rates, bought tons of horrible policies and proceed to loose $27 billion in two years. I then gave myself record bonuses of $20 million and $24 million, the highest of any CEO in America. I cried a lot telling you I had to prove my business model worked and completely trashed the company before I retired. I effectively replaced the entire workforce with burger flippers and the 2040 crew. To cover my tracks and all the horrible things I did, I just "good ole boy'd it" and hired my long time buddy to finish the destruction. You miss me yet? It only get's better from here! Dang it hold on...my secretary if pregnant again....

Is there any verified information about specific offices closing, or is it all just rumor?

Former employee here, I drove past the 8th Street HQ the other day, what a sad sight. The tech bar and demo space on the ground floor (along 8th) have been vacated and it looks like most floors in the north tower are empty, too. I guess Atleos employees are not long for this world -- will they move to Brinks? -- and the stock market seems to have given up on Voyix. I'm guessing Fun Thursdays left with Mike and Owen. (And nobody should give those guys a pass on what happened to NCR -- a lot of this could've been avoided if they'd acted sooner.)

Anyway, that's a lovely carcass of an HQ. I hope it finds a worth tenant soon.

Notice the workday update that is going to happen on the 28th of March? Reason for this update is to update all of the employees who's offices are closing to display Remote instead of their physical office location. You heard it here first folks.
