Verizon completed 13,000 layoffs after CEO warning

Source: lightreadingApril 30, 2026
TL;DR:
  • Verizon has completed the 13,000 layoffs that CEO Dan Schulman said in November would take place.
  • Light Reading reported that Verizon could continue making cuts after completing that reduction.
  • The report links the cuts to Verizon's broader focus on artificial intelligence and efficiency.

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). Workforce reductions at large operators can affect investment priorities across consumer mobile, enterprise connectivity, device distribution, and digital provisioning systems such as remote SIM provisioning (RSP, the technology used to download and manage eSIM profiles), although the source excerpt does not state any direct impact on Verizon's eSIM operations.
