Limited. The plan is a joke. 10gb limit on a hotspot how is that unlimited. Anyone that is a rep do you find it a joke to try to sell this? Thanks
How are the retail location doing?
Is there pressure in the store? Do reps still do those comparison charts between 2 year and dpp with a bundle and pull through included to deceive the customer? Whats the atmosphere like?

The Verizon Death Spiral Has Begun

Verizon / Retail Exit
Verizon doesnt want out of retail, they have to close the stores. I feel like most people at Verizon are oblivious to the reality of just how far big red has fallen. Lousy results are one thing. But the fact that customers dont believe in the company... — read more
Verizon Customer reps and techs need a new strategy.
The truth is that "management" will do anything to preserve themselves no matter how ridiculous it is. Not saying this is an easy thing to do but somehow you guys need to be like alternative media and push back, especially those who deal with... — read more
Job Security

There are way too many managers now
There are way too many managers now, most are completely useless and do nothing. Why in the World would they hire more and have them trained by no nothing managers that do not know the job themselves? It makes no sense. By the way, all the training... — read more

Wireline and Fios badly mismanaged
Now that the QAR has been cancelled, Verizon has found a new way to harass technicians.They know the union cannot object to safety, so the company uses "safety" as the cover for surprise inspections. The true function of the "safety blitz" is stealth... — read more

Ford Cuts A Mere 1,400 Jobs And Gets A CNN News Article. Verizon Cuts Tens of Thousands And Not A Peep From The Media
Absolutely disgusting. Old man Lowell gets away with the fleecing of thousands and thousands of jobs since 2015 and the media doesn't say anything. And then Ford cuts 1,400 jobs, a drop in the bucket, and gets a news article on CNN. The media is... — read more
How long do you think until vzw completely gets rid of corp stores?
You think it'll happen? or you think those hums, hpc and jp will keep them open?
Severance package
If I was impacted by the most recent lay off on May 5, what date should I be expecting my package. It's taking a long time. I would call my previous GM, but he is pretty useless. Must had study in school how to provide excuses after excuses.
This place is a mess
The changes that Verizon is making just aren't fair and they don't make sense. My " A" Level location lost a SM but we are pretty much the only location at this level to have this happen. Nobody has any answers as to why or who decides the cuts. Not... — read more
