Documentation
I know for a FACT that your employees document what’s going on in the retail stores, they actually do a much better job of documentation than your so called coaching. In my location alone, I know of 3 people who document illegal and unethical... — read more

Question regarding holiday pay
Wireless has been in a no overtime policy for a few months. Next week is thanksgiving and Black Friday. Those are both paid holidays. Our entire market is scheduling front line reps only 32 hours that day to avoid paying out overtime due to the... — read more

Cellular sales of Knoxville I believe. They are the largest indirect chain in the country. 450 locations. They have top reps doing 70-100k
I'm hoping that the next CEO understands that ...
A) There is no wireless without wireline. B) You shouldn't put all your eggs in the wireless basket. The stock has done nothing the whole time this CEO has been here. The masses are begging for that big fat dumb pipe into their home so they can have... — read more

Employees Don’t Care Because Verizon Does Not Care
Verizon has lost the support of their front line employees. The majority of employees don’t care if they lose there jobs, many wait to be laid off or fired, plenty welcome it. Once you have employees who don’t care about losing their job, there is... — read more

Lots of talk, obviously, about RIFs "across the board." Anyone know if/how retail might be affected?

Future of Retail
Just for the record here as we seem to have a back an forth on the future of retail at VZ all the time... Verizon won’t be getting rid of retail anytime soon. This year alone the have invested hundreds of millions of dollars on things FOR retail... — read more

I've been on this site for a few years already and I notice every time the isht is about to hit the fan with massive layoffs we see an increase of union VS non union posts on here. I submit to you that the majority of these might be shill posts meant... — read more
Why corporations are in existence
Companies used to care about their customers. Companies used to care about their employees. Companies are in business to make profits for their stock holders. So Verizon and any other large corporation are in business to sell stock. Verizon is not in... — read more
Unionize unionize North central cell techs!!!!!!!!!
I have never worked for a company where the techs are saying they hope they get the severance.. Wake up VZW people are unhappy and they don't care anymore... Moral is in the dumper!!!!!!!
Quotas are crazy and yet there’s no traffic
No iPhone X’s in stock and no real demand for a $1000 phone, everyone basically sticking with what they have. No good switcher promos to entice consumers to come to Verizon. No ones making any money like we were earlier this year. Feels like VZW is... — read more

Be prepared. 11/16 layoffs are imminent
10% across all channels. 100% confirmed. I won't release my sources but it's coming from Northeast senior mgmt. GM, SM's included. Judging by quarterly results, this is expected. Verizon extracts too much from employees, and since employee engagement... — read more
