Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

When i was in wireless retail it was very much a lot of politics . I've seen DMs promoted and demoted.

But I agree it's all micro management now and I don't miss that. I'm an X retail employee and I don't miss the days of going to a manager during each customer and getting yelled at about what I didn't offer etc. Even tho I was not sales I was subject to the same toucher.

Sounds like VzW is the same and still cutting heads I see.

If only wireless reps were smart and would join the union things would be different .

Let's see 40k went on strike spring 2016 , 40 and growing (as they are massively hiring) still have jobs, meanwhile wireless 2 major job cuts in the past 10 months and more to come

Look there is a reason the slogan is "Those who can't do Manage" My manager couldn't tell you the business end of screwdriver but he is related to a VP so you tell me where this company is headed? There should be a rule about nepotism but there isn't so oh well...

That is the type of culture that thrive in Telcos and most could not find a comparable job, that is why they live for the company , or they are out the door

That's a big part of the reason I left the company after many many years and found a job elsewhere.

Trust me I had a-- who under perform 7 months straight with the same commitment and NOTHING happened to the rep. Til this day the ss is still in the store.

The managers at basking ridge are just as lousy as the ones in the store.

What about the managers that sit in the back office on Facebook, playing games, or having drama going on with the baby daddy. What kills me some of these managers get bad customer reviews and the area supervisor knows about this but does nothing (but really how can he, you only see him maybe once every 3 months).

Maybe this is just a issue in the Carolinas, and not the entire market.

Oh god i always thought it was hilarious that 90% of managers when they were sales reps i outsold them 3-1 even 4-1 and yet here they were trying to tell me how to sell, yeah ok cause that worked out so well for you right?

Then again this is why they were managers and not leaders. Big difference between the two and Verizon really doesn't know how to determine which is which.
