It seems to me that a lot of people would like to get out of here but never muster the courage because they have suffered for many years of subtle manipulation and no longer believe in their own abilities.
I know a lot of people who started looking for a new job, got very solid offers and gave up because they think nowhere is the grass much greener. Oh yes it is, the grass is often a lot greener outside.

A good manager makes all the difference. I hated working in VZ the first couple of years. 2020 was a joy thanks to my boss and how great a leader they are. I stay because it pays well and I would hate to jump to something else and have it be worse. I also am trying to become debt free. Once you have financial independence, you can really choose where you want to work and live so long as you continue to budget and live within your means.
you guys needs to start talking to your mgrs with some base in your voice & really not give a F*&k what they say or feel about you. They make you feel some sort away that's why there is BENEFITS. Call EAP get your time to speak to someone on company time 3hrs off your tour can be done three times then they will set you up with therapist. Let them know how these folks make you feel under 20 years i believe you get full pay on disability 6 months over 20 years you get 10 months full pay. use it that's what the benefits are for don't ever let this company off the hook for sh-t they have done to you. While your out make sure to let your therapist know that this company tends to retaliate against employees who speak out. TRUST ME THIS WILL GET BACK TO THEM AND YOUR LIFE WILL CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.
There's so much truth to this. I have such a low self esteem after 9 years of verizon telling me I'm never good enough, my numbers need improvement (even if i had good numbers), 9 years of customers telling me they'll buy their accessories on amazon and they wont pay the high cost of insurance... I have been feeling like a failure for years. Now they have this contribution signal bu-----t to make me feel worse. I dont want to pitch the $17 a month insurance. What does that offer? Oooh some useless caller ID and some wifi protection that nobody needs? More cr-p that doesnt work because it was created by verizon. Ask me about the hum or isis mobile wallet, mobile pos, or b360, Ill tell you about the failed products of verizon, they dont produce anything worth paying for except their wireless service and even that is about average, i can go to T-Mo and be just as happy with the service. This company is an absolute joke and I am so defeated that I cant even hit on a girl or interview at a new job because I automatically think to myself "I wont waste their time, theyll probably just say no anyway..." I'm reminded all day long how certain metrics arent good enough.... now Im conditioned to hate myself. Thanks verizon. I think I need a therapist.
I had a discussion with my DM the other day. I left feeling worthless and crazy. Then I googled gaslighting and realized this is nothing new.
