After esim

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

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

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

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 

Holiday Help for the corporate retail stores ?

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

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
