Is there a d-mber idea and worse product than Netflix with commercials as a perk? SAD!
Holiday
Oh it's ok. You get the holiday off but it counts as your day off. It's fine, we are always here for the customer...What a joke of a company. We value family, yet we don't value the time with them...We are money oriented, we'd be open on Christmas if... — read more
Downvote Brigade
What's up with the downvote brigade on every post? Is it Corporate? Shills? The new and incredibly terrible overseas customer service department? Feel the Dignity, Inclusiveness, and the constantly Virtual Signaling Intranet page.
Sensitivity and Dignity, my a-s
Honestly, the whole byline notified with 'sensitivity and dignity' is an absolute joke! Try a VP on a group call letting everyone on the call know that they are being RIFd all at once and he was excited about the direction Verizon was headed. What... — read more
layoffs
Yall think retail sales reps in corporate locations are safe from layoffs?
Layoffs
Director did not know and was not able to share the names of the individuals laid off. He only knew the total number from his team. Said he would update us later. I guess local management did not have any input on the selection process.
Very poor timing
Gather all your veterans together one day to celebrate and honor their service to our country and lay a bunch of them off the next day. When our director pulled us all together to make the RIF announcement he made sure to mention how the layoffs were... — read more
Good people being laid off, bad people still have jobs!
It would seem that Verizon Wireless has decided to layoff off good quality workers and keep slackers and worthless workers instead. I worked for many years side by side with one of the people that got burned down Thursday. The worker was 1 of the... — read more
How did everyone do for the return of individual commission last month ?
I know everyone had guaranteed at risk but did anyone do much better? Out of 7 reps in our store only 2 made a little more.
Cursed for the holiday season
Best present: Something homemade. Best Commercial: Something Visible.
Micromanaging
Down in the south here. Sick and tired from the micromanaging. Can’t take a day off with out 30 days notice. Treated like kids. Have to lay our day out minute by minute to our boss. He has more spreadsheets with numbers on them. Rather then help you... — read more
Customer service horrific
Wanted to do a simple online task to account. Have to reset password twice just to access then can’t even perform function wanted to do- simple data boost. Try to call 3 numbers and none have a human answering after hours. Used to be the best now the... — read more
Year End
We’re being asked to complete year end accomplishments, months before. Care Operations. Sounds like they’re trying to find people to axe by EOY or very early Q1.
Individual Comp Plan - Big Commissions are back!
On pace to make a huge commission check this month! Glad they changed back to individual commission. Definitely a game changer for us!
Pulse Survey Participation is more important than the scores. BOYCOT IT!
Coming from the top down Pulse Survey Participation this quarter is more important than the overall scores It's time to take advantage of this 'participation is voluntary' and NOT take it!

What's the scoop?
Let's Talk Layoffs 2023 to 2024
So we all know what's about to go down in a week or so... the big questions are about to be answered "how many and from where". What gets me thinking is in the latest VGS all hands meeting where VPs said 3 important things: When our customers... — read more
Pulse Survey
It looks like it’s that time again. Is it better to not even take the pulse or to give all ones? I don’t believe that it is anonymous and I want to make sure I get on their bad side so I can finally be laid off. Which option would pi-s off our... — read more
Our Internal Website
The Internal Website - What a non-stop phony vomit virtue signal garbage heap. It all covers the fact that they have to consistently cut costs to increase any potential profits. Unless they come up with some type of revolutionary technology, they... — read more
International Day of the Girl Child
International Day of the girl child. Join us for a special day of the Girl child event to celebrate the resiliency of girls across the world. In all seriousness can anyone tell me how this is supposed to enrich our VZ culture, or make us better... — read more
Over it
Does anyone know where the u meeting going on tonight in RI is happening I changed my mind on attending, I’ve had enough!
10/4
Heard tomorrow an announcement is coming abt cs going back to the center. Can anyone confirm?
Hiring freeze
When is the usual retail hiring freeze take place before the holidays? We are down two reps and nobody is in a hurry to fill the spots. Not trying to work triple time over the holiday season.
Net subscriber gain/loss
Very intrigued to see if we had a loss or gain this quarter.
Pour one out for the removed thread
Looks like someone got triggered enough to get the posts about that person’s family getting the run around, twice. posting again to let them know we still remember. PS. You can get the posts removed but we still here baby.
Really? Gauged mood levels mandates if CEO can interact with other employees?
So, CEO says he measures his mood daily and if he is a three or lower he shuts the door and doesn't interact with others that day. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING US? WTH? HOW CHIILDISH? HOW ABOUT WE ALL CONDUCT OUR PROFESSIONAL LIVES LIKE THAT. SMH. ... — read more
Layoffs coming!! Off the books by year end.
Wishes will be granted to those who have been waiting! Internally confirmed. Budget in almost all departments are over spent for 2023 with 2024 being already set tight. Layoffs in many departments including b2b, customer care, sales, management... — read more
Verizon has been removed
Very interesting that the Verizon message board has been removed from The Layoff. Someone must be posting something that they do not like. Sorry that this is posted to the wireless board but the Verizon board has been removed. Hmmmmm

Do you apologize for reps with bad English
So ever since our lovely Partner Success Organization has launched the amount of customers mad about speaking with outsourced reps have gone up. For reference I work for the team that store reps call to avoid customer care and the one that customer... — read more
Severage Package details?
For those who were RIFed this year, what were the terms of the severance package? How did they determine the payout?
AI for voice change.
Went to a training meeting this last week and we were told that Verizon is going to be implementing a technology that will get rid of the accent for these outsource reps and make them sound American.
Just leaving this here for HR

Elevated - But not management.
Seems everyone is elevated but the managers. They would rather micromanage the sale than do the proper elevate behaviors and check people in at the door like they should. Hey verizon maybe get your managers to trust the reps to do their jobs. Then if... — read more
T-Mobile
Has anyone been taking a look over over on the T-Mobile page? Looks like they're getting hit hard over there. Not good regards to the industry, especially since they have a corporate office not far from us.
Perk debacle
Marketing mistake. People compare the cost of their Verizon bill to the cost of the competition. We are not the cheapest and bottom line we are now pushing our customers to add $10 perks and further increase the cost of their monthly bill. Oh... — read more
Any other store thought the kicker was prorated for vacation?
We were told that July and August our kicker would be prorated per the training if we take vacation. It's not. Anyone else think it was prorated?
