Layoffs will be coming as doors transform to dealer doors. The first round was last year and they did them the first quarter. The second round will come sometime this year. It’s a surprise maybe 3rd quarter I’d assume. Verizon is bleeding and... — read more
I MISSED THE CALL FOR SLED VBG
I miss Ds call and my mp is out. Wtf did I miss?
This place is a Joke
This place is a joke at the moment up leadership is trying to do things from years ago that do not work. Stores are falling apart from leadership that is not present and out of touch. They think all of these changes are doing anything only making... — read more
Let’s not forget about the infamous shoelace bags.
These shoelace bags were literally designed to prevent anything from going inside them. You had one job. Fail. I’m guessing new bags will be introduced 2025. You talked we listened.😂🤣😂
Failure is now our culture
Verizon failed us. Leadership failed us. Verizon is failing its customers and stock holders everyday. Verizon rushed 5G home and its being returned left and right (Fail). 5G phones are slower than 4G and we are back to buffering or pauses in... — read more
Almost the same pay
Offering almost the same pay to newly hired employees compared to long-term employees is a humiliation for all those who have given their best to this company over the years. What will Verizon achieve with this, apart from the loss of experienced... — read more

Consumer Economic Surcharge
New charge coming of $1.35 per voice line. I hope that customer service is ready to handle these escalations. It's not customers fault that Verizon leadership doesn't know how to run the business. Be ready for port outs people. My team is just... — read more

Economic surcharge for business accounts
Most new and existing OOC lines will be charged a $2.20 economic surcharge starting next month. What do you think they’re going to do with all that extra cash?
wouldnt let me keep my raise
i switched to telesales and they took my raise away, im a long time employee and a high performer, this company doesnt give a 💩 about employees or the hard work they do they just dont give a f**k
Contribution reporting fairness

Do stores still have team commission?

Any other stores voting for a union?
Please send some union reps to central and northern Connecticut please. Even though i know the union won’t help us at least we can make a louder voice.

A toxic culture costs the company in many ways
Hiring people and training them costs. So I think hiring new people who leave after a very short time because of the toxic atmosphere, while in the meantime doing nothing to fix that atmosphere is pointless. In my opinion, it's just a waste of... — read more
They can set goals as high as they want
However, the question is whether anyone will try harder to achieve them? It seems to me that the only thing they will achieve by setting their goals higher is to demoralize and encourage us even more to leave this joke of a company.
This is CRAZY
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
