They want us to fail. Can't fix the ipad point of sale systems we've had for years yet they can spend tons of money of everything else and expect us to do more. Failed activation orders daily.
Will we ever have staffing like we used to?
Personally, I don't think we will ever have staffing like we used to, but I wonder if there is an optimist who thinks we will?

Covid Policy
Hi V-Teamers…what is the current time off policy for work from home employees who test positive for Covid? Is Covid leave still a thing if not feeling well and have a positive test result?
Verizon
Why do people even complain about working here? The previous question is not something you need to answer; just something to think about. This is a very good company compared to the rest of the world's corporate. It's very difficult to find something... — read more
BGCO Layoffs
I'm in b2b and was told to expect longer wait times for all tickets, requests sent in via email, and phone hold times. Reason was that after we combined the coe and bgco, we laid off a bunch of them. True?
Why so much surplus?
I’m in CSSC- is anyone else wondering where all the calls are and why we’re getting so much surplus? At first, it was offered from 5-7- hardly anyone getting it. And then gradually more time granted to more people; including low seniority reps in the... — read more
We used to have 25 reps. Now we have 6
It’s amazing how much retail has changed in the last few years. Now, if we have someone call in sick we are screwed. Most days we have 4 reps on the floor, and our queues grow to one hour or more on the regular. Considering our pay is team based and... — read more
What does it take for some people to quit?
I've seen employees mistreated so badly and they keep putting up with it. No amount of poor working conditions, unrealistic expectations, horrible treatment by managers, and whatever else is enough to get them to walk away. Verizon does not pay... — read more

TMO data breach, no impact?
I don't get it. Several outlets reported that TMO suffered a massive data breach impacting 100 million customers, yet their stock was only off 3%. What do you think would happen to VZ or Apple or any other tech company if that happened to... — read more
Here it comes!
WFH announcement today.
If Covid-19 is on a surge upwards
Why would the company think its BAU and why would the union agree ,are they going wait until their employees and members start to get sick and god forbid die.where is the leadership on both sides.
Been working from home the past year
Now they’re saying we have to go in two days a week starting next month. Why?
If we go back to lockdowns then
Verizon had better come up with some hazard pay this time for those of us who can't work from home.
Does Christy’s departure change anything?
Do you think there will be any significant changes after her departure?
If you get a chance, leave
I quit a few months ago and I'm finally starting to recover from the damage Verizon inflicted on me. I was constantly belittled by my manager and talked down to like I am a kid and not somebody who knew my job ten times better than he did. I tried to... — read more

Ex worker
I worked for the company for 16 years. Since 2015 the company has really gone down hill as an employee. I made it through countless rounds of layoffs. I worked with some of the most intelligent wonderful people that are all gone now. 2018 they cut... — read more
Overworked doesn't even begin to cover it
The amount of work they expect us to do is unrealistic. Every time somebody leaves we end up picking up their work. These days when I get home, all I can do is hit the bed right away. All my energy is spent at work, there's nothing left in me for... — read more
Starting off a couple dollars over minimum wage
Just talked to a couple new hires and they are only getting paid a couple dollars over minimum wage. Why would anyone want to do this, work part time and get a commission check that’s less than a thousand dollars. This has become a clerk job for... — read more
2 hour waits. Understaffed and overworked, and for what?
retail used to be fun, and exciting- work as hard as you can and it’s attainable to make real money. Now we have less than 1/4 of the staff we had a few years ago and it seems business hasn’t slowed much. Waits often are over an hour in the store... — read more
Why is everybody so worried?
Are you not following what's been going on? Do you really think they're going to approve RTO at this point? I think we're safe for a good six months to a year before they even consider it again. So many companies have already backtracked on their RTO... — read more

Don’t listen to trolls, the unions are negotiating for WFH
It’s well known that the unions are negotiating to keep Work From Home permanent. CWA 1101 was the last holdout and they’re finally on board.
Covid responsibility
Who will be responsible if someone catches “delta” variant from Verizon office location and passes it to their unvaccinated children?
Home garage ended
Is it the union or company pushing this..I think more of the outside forces will be getting sick with the new covid surge
What will happen if a large number of employees do not want to be vaccinated?
It wouldn't be possible to fire a large number of people who would oppose the vaccine and return to the office? Or is this perhaps one of the possible scenarios after all?
Pa surplus
Is there a pa surplus list. I can only find NY, NJ ,VA and MA.
COVID
So there is a 1000 new COVID-19 cases in Virginia. It’s only getting worse and everywhere else. I wonder what Verizon will do. People don’t want to be vaccinated. Can Verizon force a vaccine mandate on its employees? If so will it even matter because... — read more
Confusing
I’m so confused at this point. I work in CSSC . Suddenly all the calls just stopped. Nobody has an answer at all. Union is no help. All overtime has stopped. No calls but the quota is the same. 25 calls to 10 per day. Verizon says the calls are not... — read more
Delta Variant
The delta variant is spreading so get back to the gararge, remember vz cares about you
Are you ready to return to the office?
There isn't much time left. I know a lot of people who started looking for a new job when it was confirmed that working from home is not a permanent option here. I don't care after all, but I think for most it will be a real shock after being spared... — read more
Salary plus positions
Is this sh-t even legal??? How is verizon getting away with paying managers half their hourly pay for every hour over 40 they are working? That sh-t is extortion, if youre going to break the pay as hourly lay then they should be fair and pay over... — read more
