Verizon expected to layoff between 15,000-30,000 employees starting next week. This is a shockingly large number given that their total headcount sits right at 100,000.

Best of luck to all those employees. Not a great economy to be looking for work. Is that retail or home office?

Also, why do we have Billy Bob Thornton for Verizon and Luke Wilson for AT&T trying to out country each other in commercials?

Layoffs this year are hitting some absurd numbers. Seems inevitable we are heading towards a recession, considering inflation and job losses.

Stock market is further disconnected from the actual economy.

Feel bad for people

I feel like the big phone companies also have a lot more competition now. I left Verizon for mint a couple years ago because it was far cheaper.

Billy Bob is on T-Mo commercials

TMo is doing the country western bit because the big knock on them has been that their coverage area is not good in sparsely populated areas.
