Thread regarding Verizon Wireless layoffs

Decrease in pay

I'm pretty new here. I am satisfied with pay, considering my previous experience, I can't even ask for anything higher. It would not be realistic. However, I am interested in what someone mentioned that there has been a decrease in pay here from year to year. Is that correct? Were people here 5, 10 years ago, really paid more?

It’s not the hourly that decreases, if anything it’s about $2/hr higher than before however what’s lower it’s the commission about $2,000 less a month x 12 months that’s $24,000 less every year . Roughly about $12.31hr less pay. So the company gave us a $2/hr raise but decreases our commissions by $12.31hr .

Honest question. How does anyone justify to themselves as well as to significant others accepting a major decrease in pay but still stay at the same job ? Obviously the decision can be made outweighing benefits with the loss but some losses have been huge. I mean seriously how do you justify a 20k pay cut ? How is that even possible?

If you're in customer service, how much do you get paid and how long have you worked there? I'm curious since people are making $40,000 in some states and $60,000 in others.

I started in 2012 and made $65k my first year. Last year I made $55k. When i first started reps told me they used to make over $100k. They decided that retail doesn't relly matter anymore and they can hire high school kids to run the show now for $17 an hour.

Base rates have not decreased. However, in commission based jobs, the answer could be yes, that commissions have decreased. This would impact total comp, of course.

It's correct, decreased every year and doesn't adjust for inflation
