Michael Buatti was informed that he was being laid off from his job at Verizon Business due to a reduction in force. He thanked his colleagues for all they had taught him over the past four years. Though he remains optimistic, Buatti acknowledged it is unlikely he will find a new position at Verizon before his termination date of January 7th. He offered to help close any open issues or provide references as he interviews for new opportunities inside and outside the company over the next month.
