Guess that’s not happening after all!!!

Any ideas how many have been laid off from IT today, company wide? Is this the major layoff that was supposed to happen last week but never materialized? Or is this completely unrelated?

From what I'm seeing, it's only IT that's being hit. Does that mean this layoff is IT focused and the rest of us are safe? (Not trying to minimize what's happening in IT across the company, I truly am sorry for everybody losing their jobs, I'm just... — read more 

Rif'd this morning.

Keep hearing "IT work will be taken over by IBM" but "IT" is such a broad term.

I hope no one gets laid off. But if you do, try to remember there's other options out there. Employees still should have six weeks of employment before the layoff is official. And hopefully severance pay. Unfortunately, I don't think that applies to... — read more 

Does anybody know what verizon future plans are

Anyone who has been with the company long enough knows when they change the comp plan we sell more to make to less that is a fact. Managers get pissed because if we make less so do they. Anyone in the trails have any idea on what it will be.

Absolutely no backfill for ANY position in retail. GMs leaving and SMs placed a acting. SS leaving abc managers deal with it plus key holders. More and more work for less and less and less..::

I get it that the other one is "wireless" but what for? One is more than enough... We are only playing into their corrupt loophole in monopoly laws... mama mia!

Never had one in my store. Now they are here. The security guy says it's a national thing.

new blood, new energy. always a refresher for those stores fortunate enough to have me. someone told me about this unofficial website and man, my spirits feel under assault. now i feel like im part of some joke.

All GMs have been told of a mandatory meeting with HR on 5/30. What will be discussed? Layoffs? Store hour cuts? Store closures? Union awareness? New commissions? GM layoffs?

Verizon Down 1.7% Since Earnings Report about a month ago. Can it rebound? or, stick a fork in it?

No layoffs coming June 1st but changes coming to many stores. Many stores will see their hours reduced and some will not open up on Sundays. Many stores will go to part time employees only besides management and this will save benefit costs. Finally... — read more

im guessing our competition, our lack of promos and maybe the political angst going around in our country. our marketing s---s too. it is lameinstead of aggressive. we need more gimmicks and bs like tmo. thoughts?

over heard some stretegists at vz hq talking about it. this will be big for smb. not sure how it will look but i am looking forward to this one!

Good job Diego, what a joke. Just embarrassing. Going to short some more stock based on our great marketing.

There is way too much BS on this site. Most of the posts are wireless people who should be on the wireless site, but for some reason, they want to post on the wireline site. Then we have to listen about hums, old people, GM’s, DM’s, commissions, etc... — read more 

Heard Matt Ellis has said there will never be another EISP offered by VZ so long as he remains CFO. Why?

Is it true that they want to replace employees with HUMS to sell HUMS?

This is HUGE! Tesla might be in talks with Verizon over possibly integrating our Hum system into their vehicles, the newer models. I'm not certain how this will unfold and what it will look like but it sounds good. It's still developing.
