Verizon completed 13,000 layoffs after CEO Dan Schulman said in November that the company would reduce its workforce by that amount. Light Reading reported that more cuts could follow after Verizon finished that previously announced reduction.

The reported reduction totals 13,000 jobs. The source does not specify in the provided excerpt which business units, countries, or employee groups were affected, and it does not provide a new number for any additional cuts that may follow.

For the eSIM industry, Verizon remains a major United States mobile network operator (MNO, a carrier that owns and operates its network).
