Verizon has been downsizing and laying people off. Of course the top level management knew this merger was about to happen, and this is an example of why the low level workers are always wrong about their assumptions such as: "Management is... — read more 

It is finally official. T-Mobile and Sprint agree to merge, finally. What are the implications for Verizon and ATT? Pay back is a b--ch. So many years of taking advantage of consumers. John Legere is kicking some butt.

Any word on when this will be starting again?

So what does everyone think about the new CRT?

Most of the industry has gone or is going non-commission. Multiple DMs and RVPs telling reps that the non-commissioned trials are the best performing trial stores. Verizon will no longer be commission by half way through the year. The low performers... — read more

Just received my new work shirts, Walmart quality, with an " I'm 15 and work at an arcade" look. I'm seriously refusing to wear this, it's embarrassing. Do we think Lowell will be wearing this crap?

Wireline declining as usual. Wireless losing subs and staying afloat by slamming HUMs and Apple Watches. Oaf bleeding cash. What a joke!

I really hate to say this... This company RUINS everything they buy: -Lack of organization -Lack of funding -Lack of product development and process -Lack of FOCUS -And ultimately, they lack the human element How in the world did Verizon mess up:... — read more
