Topics regarding layoffs at Verizon Wireless

Down the shills

So apparently the company can pay people to down vote anything that is said to put the company in a bad light, but we can't hire anyone, can't get pens or post-it notes, can't get a POS system that works, can't figure out why people are dropping like... — read more

These Opinions vs The Street's???

Sounds like VZ is not so bad off according to "the Street" vs all the opinions posted on this site.... Earnings have been mild when compared to the billions of dollars' worth of investments into the build-out of 5G in recent years at Verizon... — read more

Is it worth waiting for severance pay?

Rumors are circulating about upcoming layoffs and I hope to be the target. Don’t get me wrong, I feel sorry for those who want to stay here, but I want layoff and severance pay. I wouldn’t miss severance for just any job offer because I’ve worked... — read more 

Remember

The inflation rate is 7%, therefore if Verizon gives you a raise of anything 7% or less, It’s not actually a raise. You are actually getting a decrease in pay.

Failure

It's bound to happen. They are so off course and blinded to reality. When the majority of DMs and above have lost touch with retail it's inevitable. Unfortunately the path they are going down is in the wrong direction. They will accidentally destroy... — read more

Realistic quotas

I think you will agree that quotas are mostly unrealistic. People are overwhelmed. Is it even possible to hope for realistic quotas or is the only solution to leave this ridiculous company?

Will the training get better or worse over time?

I feel like the way they train us needs improvement. I work in customer service and I was told to answer the phones before my training was finished. I didn’t even finish learning about billing and credits. Unfortunately customer service is completely... — read more

SHUT DOWN THE STORES!

We are barely hanging on by a thread in Austin-South Texas. Profits over people has been the motto around the area. How many employees need to be sick to realize the covid procedures are absolute garbage now.

Does anyone know if nap time will be implemented once leadership returns to office??

Are they waiting for everyone to be positive or what?

We are understaffed anyway, and ever since some colleagues have learned that they are COVID positive, the situation is even more complicated. However, the store is still not closed. Some stores are closed, but ours still isn't. I don't know what... — read more

Would you be better off if they closed stores?

It's interesting to me what those who hope that stores will be closed are writing. Is it possible that someone thinks they will be much better off if the company closes stores?

CDC changes quarantine to 5 days.

Well looks like we won’t be quarantined at all anymore, and If someone in our store gets covid it’s going to take 5 days for them to figure it out. For example; Day 1, you work with the infected, it’s your exposure day. Day 2, the infected person... — read more

I’m about to leave this embarrassment of a company along with many of you. How do you get over the fact that this is what they want and they win when you do? Honesty asking, it’s a struggle for me.

I think that is the feeling of most of us who are still here and looking for a way out - embarrassment of the company's reputation. The management is not doing anything to improve it, but it is very successfully destroying whatever is left of the... — read more

There is always someone else to blame.

Either it's Covid's fault, or it's reps' fault, or yet someone else's. Basically, managers are never to blame. These people just never admit that something is their fault. I have never noticed such aversion to accepting responsibility like we have in... — read more
