Thread regarding Verizon Wireless layoffs

Is this legal?

Years ago, we all signed up for the role of “solution specialist” with a specific set of responsibilities, mainly to sell.

Recently they have been grooming us all to be “key-holders” to handle a large portion of managerial responsibilities. We all get safe codes, sap codes, keys, handle inventory and cash management. If we add that to our workload, we barely have time to do our job.

It’s easy to predict the direction Verizon is going…Managers will be let go and reps will be forced to do their job WITHOUT MANAGERIAL PAY. How the F**K is this legal.

Corporate: “Hey Mr/Mrs rep, we want you to be a door greeter, want you to check in inventory, sell credit cards and tmp, and close the store down, but HEY we’re going to pay you LESS by giving you unattainable quotas and we’re going to sc--w all your hard work with a few bad surveys at the end of the month”

Bruhhhhhh 😂😂

This is the new VERIZON

It really is such a shame what is happening with verizon. Stores are filled with nothing but half depressed clerks who have zero desire to try upset anything to a customer. The only people semi happy are the mediocre reps who are probably still mediocre or simply fully useless and make a little more hourly than they did before. Verizon fu---d every single rep who actually worked hard to make this company money.

Yeah if you think that simple sh-t is what your managers are for then you’re an id--t or just had shitbird managers. You sound like an id--t though so I’ll go with that.

We had 6 passive surveys come in the past couple days. Check destroyed. Luckily my coworkers are too naïve and they just keep working hard.

Yeah. I miss being a sales rep. Why do you think no one wants to work? They need to pay us for this or close the stores, it’s no longer tenable.

If everyone can do manager jobs, then why do you need managers.

Cool go ahead see what happens, lay off managers so we can watch when they dont have anyone left to drink the kool aid. Metrics would tank, no one would sell trash like vzhp, reps would have fun not giving AF and upper management wouldn't know what to do. Who would they punish? Would they force reps to sit on kool aid calls to get them motivated to sell smb?
