How long do we have after tomorrow?
For those affected, how many days do we have left? I've heard some say 30, some say 60. Is it possible they just tell us to leave and it's instant?
It's not all about the money....
So, I was laid-off in 2015 after almost 25 years with Cellular One, Airtouch Cellular, then Verizon. I was devastated to say the least but it's not just the paycheck and the other perks I miss. I miss the people with whom I worked for many years. We... — read more

A little honesty would be nice.
We all know about some sort of layoffs but some honesty and transparency would be nice. I've been with this company a long time and getting let go wouldn't be the worst thing that's ever happened to me however the stress of "maybe I have a job... — read more

80% of the traffic we get is troubleshooting. Now we're going to eliminate RSS while keeping quotas unobtainable?
We use RSS in alot of different ways, whether it be to help with a troubleshoot since VZW offers no training on tech support to reps, put on screen protectors or finish up a content transfer. Sometimes they even run the floor. Now we are going to... — read more

SMB Specialists reduction or elimination?
Some posts say reduction and others say elimination which one is it? As far as I have heard that role was safe. It's extremely sad to hear about the RSS role, some of those employees work harder than management.
Slam em'
Honestly, they had this coming. Since the days of free tablets when reps are winning trips and contests based on adding lines of service that are generating no revenues, costing the company money on equipment & paying out ridiculous commissions. So... — read more
