Topics regarding layoffs at Verizon Wireless

Explain to me.....

How is it fair that I have the most new lines in store, ARD at $126, pull through at 31%, and protection at 78%, am making the same commission as someone with least new lines, ARD st $43, pull through 11% and protection at 26%? This structure tells... — read more 

Whatever happened with quota adjustment for November ?

Unless I missed something there was confirmation that November quotas had been adjusted. Was it another one of those situations where it didn’t make a difference again ? So instead of being 80% to quota we ended up at 85%. Gee thanks Verizon.

Let's just lie to everyone for the holidays.

I'm sorry mister customer. I am completely out of your phone if you are upgrading. If you are adding a line then I completely have your phone. Sick plan leadership!

Fair pay will bring change

Verizon workers need to be paid fairly. If you can't hire and retain good people then it's a simple problem to solve. Pay us and we will stay. We want to be here or at least at some point wanted and agreed to work here. Health care is good, 401K... — read more

Retail Compensation

Ok enough is enough. We get it. We are to do whatever we can to ensure the customers leave our stores happy. There are TOO MANY variables that dictate what a customer rates our store. Again ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I’m not saying our reps need to make $3k... — read more 

A reminder- Your boss is not your friend

Many managers will ask you personal questions to give you the impression they care. Some do but many will use this information against you. One of my peers bragged that he could get his reps to admit to anything in a one on one. From dr-g use to... — read more

Tri-Monthly Bonuses instead of Commission

So starting next year they’re talking about giving employees, a “3 Month Bonus”, instead of monthly commissions. They’re going to be making it impossible for one to stay.

Telesales Reps

Anniversary

So apparently they don't care if you have been with them 10 years. Anniversary hit and nothing from anyone about appreciation. I guess that was reserved for the employee appreciation week where we got a 'hey good job'?

That didn’t take long

Back to slamming in the northeast, it didn’t take long for my mgr to give the green light to just bundle a OT into SMB price plan changes. Off the 0 list and now pushing the old ways.

"5G is a failure"

I hear this all the time from my colleagues. I only agree somewhat. I still haven't heard enough arguments as to why they consider it a "failure"?

I don't care anymore

If this company doesn't care about the fact that some are overwhelmed with work here and at the same time values great employees as much as those who hardly do anything here, then why would I care and try to do my best? It's not worth it. I don't... — read more

Would you be any better off then?

It’s amazing to me how some persist on their view that Verizon needs to close some stores. Why would someone want people to lose their jobs? After all, would it be much better for others if they closed some stores? I don't think so.

Leadership Turnover - Verizon Can't Retain Talent

They don't care - FYI. A consumer director out of New York just left Verizon... he had over 4+ years as the retail director. Verizon continues to show it can't retain talent. This is also evident that they're dismantling the retail division, trimming... — read more 

Why do we have a quota during a supply crisis?

No 13 pros, no 13 pro max, no ipads, no Samsung tablets, no Samsung phones other than flips and folds, why do we even have a quota? And why is the quota based on previous year when we had devices in stock?

No, I'm not going to take part in that
