How do employees working in Verizon have the courage to show up for work everyday with all this never ending uncertainties? I am losing my sleep, and rather should just say quit.

The only reason people are staying here is because of the comfort zone, already getting paid well, unable to find a better job or waiting for the severance in the next layoff. People like me moved on immediately after realising there's no incentive to stay, after all, the company isn't doing well and there's no hope of recovering. Don't fall for your director's "we're in this together, we'll save Verizon" speech. Even Dan is in this for the money.

Yep, I made the correct decision at the right time. My current role feels like day and night difference.

These days my primary focus is on Up skilling and attending interview. I am deliberately avoiding Service based companies though they provide initial hike subsequent growth will be slow. Having hard time cracking the Product based companies interviews. My morale is severely damaged but since I am not impacted and having a job I am slowly preparing in the sideline to look for other opportunity.

Be practical and look for outside opportunities if you feel confident. Otherwise, take the severance when the time comes. The company is not paying us to worry.

I’ve already decided to take the severance in the next layoff whenever it comes. Meanwhile, I’ll use this time to prepare for interviews. It’s as simple as that. We just need to focus on what we can control instead of worrying about things we can’t.

Employees remain primarily for the compensation package, which includes salary, stock options and variable pay. The majority are in a comfort zone and lack the motivation to seek opportunities elsewhere.

But how can one be happy or plan for personal life (kid education, house) with all this going on for more than a year. Compensation is just one part, and those comfort zone employees don't even wake up after so many rounds of layoffs.

it feels like every survey about working from home is (poorly) designed to answer the useless question "would you rather work from home or from the office." I submit that the set of people who prefers to have only one of those two options, always and forever, is the null set. which means it DOES NOT MATTER because the correct answer is always going to be "make both possible." you're welcome, HR departments everywhere.
