Is Verizon shifting focus away from traditional roles?

Seeing these layoffs in Washington, coupled with all the talk about retraining and automation, makes me question where things are heading. They've been talking about efficiency and streamlining for a while. It feels less like a single bad quarter and more like a strategic pivot. Remember those articles about selling off media assets? Or the big retraining initiative? This latest round of cuts, even if smaller than some past ones, feels like part of that larger picture. Are they trying to shed legacy operations or roles that are becoming less critical? Trying to stay positive and focus on my own skills, but it’s hard not to feel a sense of unease about job security in general within the company. Wondering if anyone has insights into what these moves actually signify for the future workforce.
