Long Overdue. If the Board tolerates this performance, they should be held accountable by shareholders also.
New hires do not tolerate stress and pressure at all
Yep, we are lucky if 10 percent of our new hires make it to 6 months, most are gone by the 3rd month, mostball say the money is not worth the stress from customers and the stupid metrics. I generally agree with a person who wrote this (post ID... — read more
Skinny Pants = Skinny Profits?
Correlation or causation. You decide. Question #2. If you could draft one leader from the past to right the ship, who would you select? Lowell, Stratton, Killian, Strigl, Mead, Ivan? Others?
Outrageous metrics
I would like to see my boss meet the same expectations he expects from us, considering that he thinks that these are not unrealistic expectations at all, but that we are not doing our best. I would like to see him try and wonder if he would manage... — read more
It looks like Covid pay is stopping November 1st.
How is that going to work? Do you go to the store with Covid if you are out of sick time? It's holiday time they really need you at the store...
Stock price is garbage!!!
Our stock is now at the same price per share as it was 10 years ago!!! Thanks Hans. What great growth you've created. How many more successful companies do you need to sink before you give up on it all. Let someone else do the job. Enough is enough!!... — read more
Pulse urgency?
Manager just told us that if we’re 100% complete by Friday, we’re getting lunch on him/her. Last lunch as a team before 27th I guess.
A positive note for possible RIF'D employees
Last year, late October they gave me the canned speech. Well..... I know I can't change it or stop it, but they say you can apply for other positions within Verizon. Why would you?? The grass isn't any greener over there, plus the RIF will come to... — read more
Tell them we want a union in the pulse survey!
We are treated like cr-p daily. High quotas and cuts in compensation. It needs to change
I should have planned a little better
I'm glad when I read people saying that they can't wait for RIFs. This means that they are prepared. Obviously there is many more of those who did prepare than those who didn't - like me!? Unfortunately, I didn't start planning exit on time so my... — read more
Home wireless?
So the solution for connection issues/speed issues is to repackage and sell it from walmart?
Disconnected leadership
I have never worked in a company where the leadership is more disconnected from employees than here. You? It's as if they expect the employees to care more about the future of this company than they do, even though we are mostly inadequately... — read more
Boycott pulse!
Reminder that pulse isn’t anonymous, despite what you are told. If you want to send a message, don’t do it. Leaders hate hate.
Are the October 27 RIF Rumours Credible?
A buddy from a different group said his team had a meeting yesterday and their manager mentioned his team would not be affected by upcoming RIFs. My team was not given any such direction, gulp.
Why does Verizon corporate retail have so many different types of reporting ?
You would think the stores were on individual commission with all these download calls going over metrics etc. BTW those stores at the top celebrating wins are doing so by slamming. Integrity doesn’t matter.
Verizon stock
Today's trading sideways feels like a win at this point. This is depressing. I feel bad for everyone's 401k....
People no longer care about their job as much
That's my impression. The reason is that the management did everything to demoralize and demotivate employees who once loved their job and worked very hard. It is obvious that most people here are just trying to stay a little longer until they find... — read more
Chose volunteers
If you're gonna lay people off it would make sense to ask for volunteers. Why not lay people off who want to to be laid-off rather than people that want to stay?
STOP POSTING FAKE NEWS!
Stop posting fake layoff news and ,make up stories about this great company. Move on previous employees! Stop trolling! We love this company and great opportunities it provides to more than 140,000 employees and hundred and thousands of... — read more
Can a DM please explain..
Why are we pushing an Outlook target? I’m from an Ohio store and my RM is up in arms about an outlook target, but can’t explain what it actually is and I’m having a hard time understanding why some stores have much higher outlook targets than other... — read more
Any other corporate store reps needing to find a second job?
Since the diminishment of our commission structure and low raises that did not even cover inflation rates. I feel it maybe a good idea to go part time 32 hours (to keep benefits) and possibly get a second job in the evenings if the crew allows me... — read more
Giving bad reviews on pulse
Until now, I have always given good reviews on pulse survey because I thought that I could become jobless if I gave a bad review. How much do you think giving a bad review can jeopardize someone's job here?
Ericsson plans to take $1.23B hit for corruption. Hans Vestberg
Hans Vestberg biggest fraud ever! https://www.fiercewireless.com/wireless/ericsson-plans-to-take-1-23b-hit-for-corruption-fine-q3-2019 That's your CEO Vteamers!
Next stop $26, October 21 will be a bad day for Verizon
Welcome to working at Blockbuster 2.0 Soon you will be selling candy and popcorn to customers
$35.94
Thank you C-Suite and the Board. You are priceless !
Golden Parachute
Can we vote that if the stock isn't above $60.00 Hans doesn't get his golden parachute?
Whether the rumors are true or not...
My personal opinion is that cuts are inevitable. Does anyone think otherwise? I am not saying with certainty that there will be cuts, nor do I want to raise panic, but I just think that they are inevitable because the company is in a bad situation... — read more

Thanks Tami, Thanks Hans! Thank you all leadership for all you have done.
RIFs and closures
VBG is going to have a massive RIF this week. As much as 25% of teams and orgs will be laid off. Hidden Ridge in TX is being sold off and closed within the next 6 months. Also some retail stores will be closing
Somethings up
Manager cancelled our morning meeting, and Director cancelled our 3pm market call. I'm not sure what, but it seems like something is up. Reached out to my peers in the West, their team call was cancelled as well. Lastly I checked MP,Director,and VP... — read more
PULSE & RIFs - Confidential? I wouldn't do it
Interesting that the Pulse survey is launching on 10/17 and RIFs are rumored for 10/27. So it can either be that they want people to be afraid to be honest with feedback for fear of losing their job so the scores will be high. Or they want to see... — read more
Business Representatives Make Too Much
Business representatives make way too much. Front line workers are expected to do the work and close the business down in store, for a measly commission check; however the money gets funneled into the business reps pockets for the sales we made. I... — read more
Tanking for Chute
Is there a way to get HV outta here? It'll probably require someones password because its a high risk transaction but he really needs to take his parachute and leave. High risk high reward.
VZ $36 Stock incoming.....
Looks like Verizon is not doing very well. This should be a wake-up call for everyone at the WOKE HQ to stop doing those stupid videos and get back to work. This is not good for 4Q and the numbers probably are going to be really bad bringing the... — read more
R2B Reps no longer making money!!
We have reps not making a check for months just their hourly... Verizon the new Blockbuster coming soon! PS Switch to Visible or the new prepay service Hans skinny pants were just bragging about days ago.
Vbg cuts
What positions are being cut? R2b? B2B? Seems strange that they would cut the channel that actually has net gains
Verizon Earning Oct 21 - 2022
Stock price as of now $38 wow!!! I hope Hans will be wearing bigger pants and socks to give the news of how horrible we are doing although He keeps getting paid like nothing is happening! Good luck Vteamers!
Network
Anyone else sick of trying to come up with lies to tell customers as to why our network now sucks?? I'm so sick of spending 8 hrs a day acting surprised every time a customer says they are dropping calls constantly, bi-----g about the fact that they... — read more
Incentives
Hey Ive been working here about a year now and just curious, what's my incentive to work hard for this company? Does anyone know? Because I am having a difficult time figuring it out.
Dividend yield is currently at 6.66%
Hans, Thanks to you doing so bad the dividend yield as of today is at 6.66 % While the dividend is great the lowering of the overall stock price is a direct reflection of you and your teams TERRIBLE leadership. I’m sure you are happy that the... — read more
