After all phones have Esim capability and SIM cards are phased out, what is the point to have stores? Verizon could just put up pick up boxes in every city and customers could pick up their items from the pick up locations along with their... — read more
Store closing
Just got told that a store in my district is closing by the end of the year. I’m hearing several stores are being told today
Free service? Test drive? Wtf!!
Look it up. Verizon test drive. Why haven't we been told about this? I found out watching a YT video. We are basically giving away free service to new customer for 1 month. No credit check, no deposit, no obligation at all. If Hans can't grow by... — read more
Twitter, Meta, Disney, Amazon, and many more doing Layoffs. Who's next?
We all know as soon as ATT or Tmo does massive layoffs Verizon like always will follow but not during the holiday season. When? Jan or Feb for sure. Is it finally time to go down 1 SM? Yes! We do everything for those lazy clowns. or do we need... — read more
2 reps
Really curious as to what Verizon is going to do over the holidays . My location is down to two full time reps & 3 managers. The higher up’s don’t see the the negative impacts their decisions are having to the frontline .
Seems like HR is backing up their Corrupt AMs & DOSs
It’s somewhere in the stores, if one is intelligent enough, they’ll understand themselves. So, is there a reason “WHY” there is an HR. Oh I see, to fill in the space & keep backing up the companies corrupt practices then. Verizon HR is just there... — read more
Is their goal to make even more of us quit?
It is my impression that the leadership thinks there are still too many of us. I really don't know what they expect to happen if they mess with benefits, given that it's one of the very few things that still keeps many of us here? I won't stop... — read more
February is when the curtain will be lifted from the stage
They’re saying SMs will be down to one per store and GMs will run just one store. Reps will continue to get harassed by them until then for not swinging: VZ Home, Credit Card, View Together & Set Up & Go. Plus they might be going for individual... — read more
The Micromanagement is unbearable
Every day i come in a good mood, I clock in, check my email and immediately become frustrated with the level of micro management that is rolled down from director to district manager. It is a bunch of emails scheduling a barrage of calls, trackers... — read more
Severance envy
Meta gave employees 16 weeks PLUS two weeks per year AND 6 months of health insurance coverage. And what do we get? Our leadership would be happy if they could get away with kicking us out on our behinds with nothing. As it is, they give us the bare... — read more
How are things after the layoffs?
Curious to know how is the morale and the work load after they let go of team members? I am still waiting to hear about the next steps. No one seems to have a plan on what needs to be done.
Verizon Holiday in a nut shell
In the retail stores it will be like this : Even though it’s pretty much the busiest season for retail traffic there will be zero leadership on the sales floor. Either the SM’s or GM will be on calls (why do they have so many calls during the busiest... — read more
The End is here
It's official, Hans and team are going after benefits. Received a survey about what would be better: Give up benefits/increasethe cost in order to give us more compensation. Or give up compensation in exchange for keeping benefits the same. The... — read more
Setup and go
Is anyone else’s DM forcing reps to charge every customer the setup and go fee even if the customer doesn’t want it? Reps are afraid to speak up and say anything for fear of losing their jobs but we all think this is unethical. Anyone else seeing... — read more
Does Verizon still offer comision
If yes how does it work?
Holiday Help for the corporate retail stores ?
I haven’t heard much and we are pretty close to holiday shopping season when additional foot traffic is imminent. Does this mean no greeters either ? Seems to me this is all being set up for failure. What has leadership learned this past year ? The... — read more

Verizon on resume
I'm trying to find a job, and it's not at all easy to find a job now, but my experience tells me that VZ does not have any special value on a resume. That's why I find it interesting that some here claim that the company still has a good reputation... — read more
Verizon needs more innovation
It seems to me that the leadership is convinced that it is doing great things and therefore ignores the fact that this company urgently needs more innovation. This would include assessing existing business plans and aligning with external factors... — read more

RIF - IT Departments
We know about VBG and various Sales Teams. Does anyone have any information about IT? Is EUS safe? What about the Server and Storage teams? Is Network and the NOC safe? What about the Systems Engineering Teams? Out here, they 're not giving us any... — read more

Any thoughts on OP&OO? We are 8 months in the new structure and this was celebrated on the all hands call this week. Are we safe? Are we too big? Are cuts and reorgs all done for this area? What’s your thoughts on 2023…at least we feel safe for... — read more
Temporary stress
As hard as it is to accept, for me and I believe many others, this RIF was a much needed kick to find something better for ourselves. It will not be easy to find a job now, but it is comforting that we will finally take control of our careers... — read more
THIS WEBSITE IS CENSORING POSTS THAT CALLS OUT FALSE INFORMATION
This website is removing all the posts that calls out fake and misinformation about layoffs. They are worst than Communist countries.
Leadership unaffected?
Does anyone know of any Director level and above positions that were eliminated, or was 5V and above immune?
So VBG Got Whacked Today. VCG's Turn Will Be In February
That's my guess. Dump the business group people before the slow for them holiday season and get em off the books by the end of the year. Milk the VCG people for all they are worth during the busy for them holiday season and then dump them too after... — read more
This is how Pathetic we look next to Tmobile
T-Mobile said it added 854,000 postpaid phone subscribers vs. estimates of 739,000. In the third quarter, AT&T (T) added 708,000 phone subscribers while Verizon Communications (VZ) added... — read more
It's always the wrong ones who are forced to leave
It's amazing how the strategy & execution are failing, but the people (i.e. the failures) who lead the company are the ones that get to stay and keep failing. Meanwhile, the individual contributors (ICs) get axed... and probably the same ICs who... — read more
Coming soon, 1 SM only
Get ready to only have 1 lazy SM rather than two. Finally, VZ is about to save money with SM watching movies in the back rather than helping when the store is super busy.

Who got RIFed today?
Curious VZ employee.. hey it’s October we know the deal.

10/27 will come and go and be....
Pretty much just live 10/26 (Today). Very little will change tomorrow within Verizon. The one thing that needs to change will not happen, you can count in it too! And that would be the CEO of Verizon to step down. Short of a miracle, when we all... — read more
More Corp Stores going Indirect next year. Get Ready!
It's Verizon's biggest expense at this point, paying for rent and employees. So Vteamers get ready!
Performance-based RIFs
Some say that these RIFs will be based exclusively on performance, while others think that performance will not matter to a large extent this time. Thoughts?
The Swedish Chef Has To Go.
