Well, walking into work today after a sleepless night is not going to be ideal, but that's what I got. I'm sure I'm not the only one who had trouble falling asleep last night. Hopefully, this will not be as bad as we are expecting. Good luck all, I... — read more 

If nothing happens tomorrow, or it's super minor. All you commenters are bull sh--.

Well Verizon is now by far the sh-- show. They are trying to fire and lay employees off. Beware especially in the SCM. Now the the president of the market is trying to make everyone feel better by traveling to different stores and giving out credo... — read more 

Just left a meeting a upper management let us know that two stores in our LA area will no longer be open on Sundays. Less headcount and no more Sunday pay

Women are taking control of this company. Most men agree everything should be 50/50 but the women in charge are irrationally choosing female candidates over men. Verizon is spending crazy amounts of money for special womens seminars and trainings but... — read more 

This is all just bull started by the unions to try to get Verizon to go union. We all know that we would have heard things through the grapevine. Secrets can’t be kept around Verizon.

If you flinch it will only hurt more.

RIFs will be June 1st. Bought another couple of weeks for HR to have paperwork ready.

Found out that Verizon will reduce our monthly discount from our cell phone service from 50% to 25 %. Verizon is getting greedier by the second, time to switch cell phone service to T-Mobile.

Nothing is happening. Relax.

At my store we sell Hums bundled with plans and phones all the time. Tell hem it’s part of a package. It’s how I was trained and everyone else does it. The other day a Hum got returned and customer said I didn’t sell with integrity said I didn’t tell... — read more 

Fleetmatics had meetings telling them what’s happening tomorrow in retail and how it will affect them. My guess, the elimination of the smb role.

I haven’t heard of any Rif’s or an EISP being offered. Slow and quiet on this side of the business.

With all these closures and layoffs I’m starting to worry that he may not get his compensation for this year. Can anyone confirm that he will be alright? He works very hard and is the reason we’re as successful as we are.

Nothing else matters. Upgrades dont matter New phones dont matter Jet packs dont matter Tablets don’t matter ONLY HUMS.

I've worked for the company for 5 years now, and anyone that's been around even that long knows that this company doesn't follow any moral compass when it comes to layoffs and business. We are all numbers, and we're only a positive number if we're... — read more 

This speculation and not knowing is worse than being laid off. Let tomorrow come, let's see what will happen, and let's be done with it. Even if it means I have to look for a new job. Frankly, with severance in pocket how much worse can it be to... — read more 

I over heard our managers talking a few days ago. Our district manager was asking for coachings on the bottom 10% of sales reps. With all the rumors, it makes sense.

Any word on SMB Specialist being cut? The majority are not hitting quota under the new commission structure. From what I've heard the new cuts are coming without warning meaning they are not telling the RBSM,GM anyone that could leak information.

In a town hall today with head of Ops, Retail, Hr, and B2B for my area. Retail mentioned looking at internal job postings and “your resume” for both internal and external reasons. OPS just mentioned “evolution of the company” and how the company is... — read more 

Get something that proves it. Say an internal Email, crop out your name in your @verizonwhatever corporate assigned email. Post it on Reddit and give us the link.

None of this is “Confirmed” so stop saying it is. Post what you want for the rumor but do not say confirmed.

If the GM thing is true, any chance they are actually going to get rid of GMs who are actually useless and keep the good ones? I would trade ours for a part-time GM who actually does his or her job in a heartbeat. This doesn't seem likely based on... — read more 

No warning just chains on front and back door. I really needed this job but oh well its life. Just wanted to share with you guys.

Has there been any talks of IT layoffs or outsourcing?

It will be announced tomorrow and will offically start July 1st. This is similar to what T-Mobile did several years ago to cut cost. When Verizon makes this switch there will be no need to pay overtime and the employee insurance burden will be... — read more 

The layoff is coming 5/17 , but this is never ending. They do it strategically to abide by state laws of non disclosure...smart. Don't expect thousands to be rif in a couple states, expect thousands from many states. Round one for 2018, i expect... — read more 

Anybody else here thinks that this whole May 17 thing has been blown way out of proportion? If there was to be something as huge as some are indicating here shouldn't we have heard something by now through official channels? I'm not disputing... — read more 

Store spacing will play a part. Look at how far away Apple stores are from each other. Using my home state of VA you have one in the major metro areas and that’s it. Outside of that there are NONE. So if you are in an area with heavy Corp store... — read more 

May 17th. Who is scared? I know a lot of it is BS. However, I am sure some of it is true. Scary! What ever happened to the rep who could not keep her legs closed and popped 6 kids and school tuition debt? Hope she is o.k. While Rome burns to the... — read more

Just got our 6 month death sentence. Just got the news we will be closed on Sundays starting June 1st and we are a smart store. Seems crazy they would eventually close down a smart store but who knows?
