Banners

Why is this DM calling after every banner pop? Get off the computer, get on the floor and try helping the store you're in. No wonder your stores are failing you.

Does Verizon control this site? I know it’s mostly for layoff discussions, but it’s also become a place to vent for those of us still here, dealing with the constant frustration. Yes, Verizon pays well, and this job provides for my family, so I... — read more

Thank you VZ!

I’d like to thank VZ for the $185K payout back in September. Quickly bounced to a new career that I am loving and haven’t touched a penny of the payout. If you gotta go, that’s the way to do it!

Headcount Vs Store Quota

If a store has a quota $50,000 and there are 5 reps, each rep would have an individual target of $10,000 in that particular month to meet target. Now let’s say 1 rep gets terminated due to a pip and the store only has 4 reps. Their individual target... — read more

Restructure Inbound

Expect to see your Director and Sr Director that much less often. (if they even make face, ha!) Unfortunately for any Ops analysts, they aren't being backfilled so now they gotta pick up the slack.

Frontline beatdown

How many Frontline workers yesterday in the face the outage were bitched at for metrics? Still should be pitching second number and new lines on quotes! Use this as an opportunity! Disgusting

Where art thou leadership?!

After getting battered and beaten on the front lines by angry mobs of customers due to the network outage, why has there been ZERO communication from upper leadership? Easy to not care I suppose when it’s not all in your face.
