Starlink/SpaceX will be going after every cable and fiber ISP customer as early as this year. AST SpaceMobile which we have like a 2% stake in (Somebody somewhere in AT&T had a brain) will be going after the wireless customers as early as next year. Rocket Lab and Space X in the satellite payload biz. Rocket Lab and SpaceX beaming solar energy back to the ground. Meanwhile AT&T employees will be monitoring their presence reports. Is 7.7 hours enough? Good news. 6.7 is enough!

I heard that the Cisco Wireless team was also affected due to low revenue in last layoff. Do you have any idea about the current situation with Cisco Spaces, Meraki, and the DNAC team?

A lot of chatter around layoffs, but it seems that they are going to just starve out and fire folks in the B2B Mid Market space. Unattainable quotas, 30 day PIP process, calls for 75% of our time which limits finding real deals within our base. Over 22 years with the company, I cost more than most of my peers. I would be a natural layoff candidate. Would love to hang for a RIF, but I do not think they are ever going to let us go like that when they can get rid of us all free.

Anyone see it differently?

The wireless industry does not traditionally have a great reputation when it comes to being transparent. That was the basis of T-Mobile’s entire Un-carrier strategy, which forced Verizon and AT&T to drop what used to be the mainstays of how the industry charged.

Since the beginning of this week the signal has dropped to one or two bars. Is there something up with our Fem to cell repeaters?

Happy former 30 year employee and current interest is only as an investor. Verizon needs to become a pure play Consumer focused company Wireless/Internet. Parts are worth more than the sum. Verizon Business would be one example. Sell it and other lower margin businesses to PE markets. Regulated side is more difficult to divest due to the obvious reasons.

Insider here.
If you're in wireless, GET OUT. NOW.
No joke.

Verizon is now offering a better deal than Xfinity mobile or Spectrum mobile.

We now go back to our regularly scheduled programming of hating on Verizon and its leadership

Ericsson, T-Mobile, Telefónica Announce Early 2026 Job Cuts

https://www.fierce-network.com/broadband/2026-layoff-tracker

Ericsson announced 1,600 job cuts in Sweden on January 15. This represents a 12% reduction in its home country workforce. T-Mobile also quietly reduced sales positions nationwide, as reported on January 12. Telefónica plans up to 5,000 layoffs, mostly in Spain, by year-end. The company will offer $3 billion in compensation to affected employees.

layoffs/store closures if anyone’s aware? I hear traffic is non existent

Where are all the wireless people who tell us how much better they are than landline today? Working to fix this outage I hope

Nope.

What else T does and should do to survive the next 20 years?

Fixed Wireless Johnny Stinkey. Not everyone wants or needs Ferrari like Fiber Speeds. 9/10 are content with Fixed Wireless. Running Fiber all over the map is a Stinkey move. Johnny Stinkey is always a day late and a dollar short.

Hahahahahahahaha. Don't forget chargebacks also! Merry Christmas!

Any news?

Did some research this weekend. T-Mobile has a family plan special. 4 free iPhone 17s at $25 per line (approx $140/mo with taxes/fees).

There is a major gap between Verizon’s international leadership and its US subscribers... For VZ to survive we should focus on America and completely stop offshoring to Europe and India. This got us nowhere and it's getting worse - we should focus on quality and stop this short term fixes that are causing chaos and rot.

I’m ready for a change!

My location will transition to Your Wireless Indirects, has anyone heard of them, and what the commission/company is like?

Is launching a new commercial. Just saw the “hard work” the team is super excited for on LinkedIn. Tone deaf!

How many Verizon Corporate locations are in the US ? This will help scale the size of the layoff

Anyone hear anything regarding internal care teams or case management/ert

So believe me when I tell you right now their going to give up about 200 corporate owned run retail stores to authorized retailers or close completely some locations,but over the next few years Verizon plans to have no corporate owned stores .All 3rd party sellers.I believe if your on the Verizon Wireless retail side start planning to get out . Even if you survive these Layoffs over the year or 2 .The end is near

MINT MOBILE

How about everyone just shows up to work and do nothing, just sit down and play with our phones and send a message to the big wigs

keep working hard v-teamers

Most employees prob have an average of 3
Lines on their account. 15k layoffs equals losing -about 45k subscriber lines - and another bunch of home internet lines.

They see the news and now know nothing will get installed correctly lol

I even pointed out the obvious [on multiple occasions] to VZN via detailed feedback.

Oh well, my new carrier of the past year has been great and MUCH cheaper. VZN is yet another memory

Is the I2B channel safe? Agents sale a lot of business but it doesn’t stick.
