We just wait until next week? SM tells us? DM makes a visit?
"What if I told you ..."
What if I told you ... that leaving Verizon is the best thing that will ever happen to you. That there is life after Verizon. That your quality of life will be greatly increased once you've left. To those who may be moving on from Verizon today do... — read more
Any word on when this is all going down?
Is this all supposed to happen at a certain time? Do we just wait around all day wondering? If your off will you get a call?
Solution specialists might get the worst treatment
Seeing that Verizon is going through layoffs today, the sales team may get a worse fate due to being managed out instead of a severance option. The QUOTAS have not decreased and are not foreseen as being decreased so the next round of unseen layoffs... — read more
I give you my "OATH" that I will not lay you off today.
I give you my "OATH" that I will not lay you off today.
Overage Revenue Drop
With unlimited plans omnipresent, is our Overage Revenue Drop causing most of our problems now? Thoughts?
Employment Attorney in Los Angeles
Can someone recommend me a good Employment Attorney in Los Angeles. I think I will be cut while two less quailified candidates with personal (and family) ties to the manager will be kept. I do not want to go into details and I'll just leave it at... — read more
Hallelujah!!!
It's about time. Happy to walk away from this awful place and never look back!
DON'T SIGN A RELEASE TOMORROW!
Make sure you talk to a employment lawyer first! Strongly suggest you read this article. http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/sign-release-when-lose-job-33597.html
DM/ Floater
Any word on the DM/Floater spots? I'm honestly hoping I wake up to mine gone tomorrow. Not sure if it's like this in every area but mine doesn't do anything. Brings no value to the company. He came from indirect and doesn't understand retail. He... — read more
Hunger Games: Verizon edition
May the odds be ever in your favor. After spending the last 2 days reading through all of these posts in an obsessive manner, I've come to 1 conclusion. No matter what role you're in, on a daily basis you have to make yourself valuable and set... — read more
SPRINT, AT&T, TMOBILE, AMD US CELLULAR, BE READY FOR APPLICANTS
Not gunna like I'm not affected by this but I'm definitely leaving Verizon. I put in over 10 years of hard work and dedication, but the company is doing what's bet for itself, I get it. So maybe we should do what's best for us good employees and try... — read more
Ya Wanna Save Money Verizon??
Tell the Assistant and General Managers to stop issueing OCC credits out to customers when their shady reps slam people's accounts with hums, jetpacks, and tablets. Then treat ethical reps like sh--, who live the "credo" that Verizon promotes. Layoff... — read more
Verizon will bring in over $30 Billion (with a B) in revenue this quarter. Top 5 C-Levels will make over $100 million total comp this year.
Let that sink in.... I understand the industry is changing rapidly and margins are shrinking, but something doesn't feel right about this picture. Why are the folks getting laid off this week paying the price for the ineptitude, arrogance and botched... — read more
It's like an ATM, or self check out at the grocery store. WSAP was made to replace specialized inventory employees.
When a phone shows up missing it take a specialist 3 hours to research and find that I cannot find where it went. In the end verizon has the same $ loss as they did before it was researched in the first place and to them it does not matter if the... — read more
Details here. (This could cost me my job)
RSS - 100% gone. Tomorrow you're gone. SM with a meeting tomorrow - laid off or relocated but most likely laid off. Float GM - gone District Operations - Gone Any position that has a meeting tomorrow - gone, demoted or relocated. Good luck!
Digging their Own Grave!!!!!!
Current employee with the company and tenured. I started with this company when it was THE juggernaut of the wireless industry. Here we are in extreme lows and the retail side of the business was always known as the safer side of the business. This... — read more
Ladies and gents!! Any posts after this I would disregard! Wait till morning when people post to here if they were let go and there title.
Too many scenarios...People are worried, so the funny posts are childish and disrespectful. It's not fun and games when these people have families to tell TMR . Grow up and wait till morning and if you gave false info shame on you and karma is a... — read more
What we need to do!
As someone that has been with this company over 15yrs, I say we need to make public the fact that we all need to. " live in the grey area" to hit our numbers. If we sell by the credo we will never succeed, we are now being told we need 5 hum, at... — read more

Go home feeling slimy...
You will get 2 weeks pay and 1 month medical per year you have been here. I would love for them to pay me to go find a new job. vzw retail is nothing but high pressure sales... We used to help people... Now you go home feeling slimy...
It does not make sense to one day close a bunch of stores at the same time.
I used to work with real estate at Verizon. I can tell you makes it more sense to close a store, or transfer the store to an indirect on a case by case basis because of lease expiration dates and some lease will allow subleasing while others will... — read more
Dey took our JERBS!!!!!!!!!
Is AT&T hiring?!?!?!?!?
Won't happen all at onxe
Several of these layoffs were scheduled to happen in January and it didn't go as planned. Verizon will continue to make job cuts but they aren't going to do it all at once. The back lash from employee posting is greater then they expected and... — read more

Vesting & 401k
So rumor has it that tomorrow people will be told they are done and cannot come back. They'll still be on the payroll for 30 more days however. If that's the case and they were supposed to vest in the upcoming 30 days, will they still be able to even... — read more
Stores closing to allow indirect agents to expand their distribution.
The business model is currently unsustainable. Our retail staff is paid much more that our indirect partners. It makes sense to sub-contract this role. Eliminate inventory and focus on our real product, the network. Call centers, tech support and... — read more
Store Closures
Heard there weren't going to be any store closures. Is this true?
