They can't keep cutting forever, eventually there won't be anyone left to cut. But even if it does stop, is there any reason to stay? Whoever's left will just be expected to do the all the work of everyone who was cut, for the same pay. I don't see a happy ending here.

Never ! been here since 2000 and every year its been the same. However every other year or so its a big push out the door...
I hear the sentiment, but I still genuinely enjoy my job and have no intentions of leaving in our current environment
@bp or comparing to literally the most similar business on the planet?
@b5 that's classic whataboutism, comparing with another failing juggernaut like AT&T... no wonder VZ is in this bottomless hellhole
AT&T has had significant layoffs twice a year (minimum) for over 30 years. You think there is "an end?"
@av It makes a big difference if the total is 130k employees (2020) or 85k (2026) when hundreds are laid off quietly (slowly dripping to avoid WARN) or a few thousands every quarter
OP - go to find your happy ending, and leave this board
They have been doing this at least annually or more since 2021.
Ofc u R right. This isn't the first rodeo, great companies come and go, as much as we may hope so, Verizon is not forever. Just ask Nortel, Enron, Lehman, the list is endless.
Just make sure you're not the one turning off the lights and your severence cheque clears.
