Verizon is laying off approximately 168 employees in Washington state, including analysts, engineers and retail workers. <\/p>\n

The layoffs were disclosed in a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN)<\/a> filed with the state\u2019s Employment Security Department. The jobs are slated to end Jan. 23. <\/p>\n

\u201cVerizon is consolidating and restructuring its operations to maximize the utilization of company facilities and resources,\u201d Eboni Gregoire, Verizon\u2019s director of HR operations, said in a WARN letter. <\/p>\n

Earlier this month, The Wall Street Journal<\/a> reported that New York-based Verizon was planning to cut 15,000 workers, primarily through layoffs. That includes shifting about 200 of its stores into franchised outlets, which removes employees from the telecom\u2019s payroll.<\/p>\n

The WARN letter states that five facilities \u2014\u00a0in Redmond, Renton, Woodinville, Spokane and Bellingham are \u201cbeing divested to an agent\u201d and will no longer be operated by Verizon. It was unclear if the sites would close or become a franchise.<\/p>\n

Approximately 22 of the workers being laid off are based at a corporate office in Bellevue, Wash., that Verizon took over from rival T-Mobile last year. T-Mobile, headquartered in Bellevue, sublet 32,682 square feet of space to Verizon at 90 North, a building located at 3255 160th Ave. SE., the Puget Sound Business Journal <\/a>previously reported.<\/p>\n

The layoffs come as Verizon lost 7,000 phone subscribers in the most recent quarter, while\u00a0AT&T\u00a0and T-Mobile have been adding customers, WSJ reported. On Thursday, T-Mobile announced <\/a>a \u201cSwitching Made Easy\u201d initiative launching next month to help Verizon and AT&T customers switch to T-Mobile in as little as 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
