Do the math, and figure out what Verizon pays us per item in actual real money. For example how much per new line, upgrade, etc. I'll let you do the math and figure it out. But when you do your jaw will hit the floor.
Forced Out
We were made aware last week that there is going to be 1,000 positions open for work from home. Most people in my store are wanting the job to get away. Few don’t want it. The few that don’t want it are being talked to everyday and asked why not... — read more

40% increase in goal for May
Wow!!! Can they really fu-k retail employees anymore?
New commission structure down 20% from previous months
Not that anyone believed we would actually make more but making 20% less is a slap in the face. Come on Verizon you are going to force reps into making the d-mb decision of forming a union.

Funny for the outcry of 20
Reps used to make way more than 20 with old commission structures; seeing that posts are saying that old reps are getting shafted when they made 3-4k commission checks, makes me feel like verizon is trying to make 20 the norm for their new employees... — read more
New $20 Minimum Wage
Verizon announced a new $20 minimum wage. Is this not i tended for current verizon employees and “only” new hires? Ive heard that this is already in olace for the current employees because its counted with $500 commission. Is this true?
B2B/ SMB/ Business Inside Sales?
any word on the future for the business channel? seems kind of redundant we have smb reps and b2b reps AND inside sales reps in both channels as well. too much internal bickering over sales and accounts and confusing for customers and reps
What’s the one thing customers say that make you cringe?
My soul laughs devilishly when someone says “I’m here for my free upgrade” 😂😈
$20 an hour, means get ready for much higher Quotas
$20 an hour, means get ready for much higher Quotas Where do you think Verizon is going to get that money from? Not from the customers, because for sure the prices for Verizon are not going up. But, Verizon can and will change the Quotas and... — read more

Layoffs?
Will there be another round of Corporate layoffs soon? Wondering what’s going to happen once we fully transition back to in-person. Should have taken the severance back in 2017…..
TRUTH!!
This will get censored but there is so much truth to what they are saying. Even if you don't agree with union they all speak FACTS. twitter.com/MorePerfectUS/status/1513901538422493188?s=20&t=6wlLx7r-avCBF5QEhlGFKg
May 12th
If you own Verizon stock, don’t forget to vote against Hans’ golden parachute on May 12th. I’ve been wondering why he had bought almost $1,000,000 worth of stock recently. Now i know it’s for the vote and will most likely dump them afterwards. — read more
Emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion
Judging by my colleagues, more than half of the employees here are experiencing a severe burnout. Perhaps that percentage is even higher? Here it seems impossible to avoid stress and exhaustion on a daily basis.

Can we stop Beta testing 2.0?!?!?
We have to end this experiment of 2.0. It does not work, period. I don't care how many work around for the work around there are. Customers are fed up and leaving. Reps are giving up becuase we can't get passed errors and can't sell. This is beyond... — read more
