Can you Fire Me Now ? Verizon offers buyout, looking to cut workforce by 25% - cbelt3 - 10-03-2018 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-10-03/verizon-says-44-000-managers-qualify-for-company-buyout-offer "The offer, which excludes executives in sales or crucial company roles, is part of a four-year, $10 billion cost-reduction program that Chairman Lowell McAdam put in place last year. A Verizon spokesman declined to say how many of the 44,000 managers are expected to take the offer and leave the company." Re: Can you Fire Me Now ?

If they cut the targetted number of management jobs, that would amount to 1/4 of their workforce. I doubt they will cut all the management, so MORE than 1/4 of the company must be in management. seems excessive to me (the percentage of Verizon that is management, not the 44K jobs to be cut), but what do I know?
