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.
3 new hires in northeast district give two week notice
Imagine that. They didn’t even get a chance to see how a real December in retail looks like. For anyone new coming in , this job s ucks ballzzzzz. Told ya so.
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
Hope you don’t have to use your vacation time

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.
R2B cuts coming
The R2B team is about to see some major cuts next year. They expanded the team earlier this year but now they aren’t seeing the growth they expected. I’m hearing a 50% reduction in the team

Uphold Mandate or Union votes
Those vaccinated will strike or vote union unless Manadate upheld by VZW. Unless they don't care about safety. Do you?
What’s the word about the vaccine mandate?
The vaccine mandate is blocked in the courts for now, but has anyone heard news about any changes for the mandate for verizon?

Making people use their own time for work exposure
https://www.dir.ca.gov/dosh/coronavirus/COVID19FAQs.html#exclusions Don’t know how they can make employees use their own time (sick, personal, and vacation) for a work exposure and not give work from home options.
Starbucks will start a ripple effect of Unionization in retail stores
I wish unions would be more aggressive in getting Verizon retail stores on board. More then half of my store would vote Yes to a union.
Apple employee promo code
I have the promo code for the free MacBook Air. Just go to Apple and register an employee account and give all your personal information. When you get to the checkout screen put in promo code I-D-10 - T
Any Other SMs worried about next year’s round of cuts?
I just can’t help but think that multi stores are going to become more the norm than the exception and that training reps to do most of what we do spells doom for the SM position.
Samsung galaxy pro buds
Anyone get that promo code to get these?
Telesales Reps
How are y’all holding up? I think the grind is getting to a lot of folks. Massive quotas with no inventory. Lots of people are coming off their “worst month ever.” I think I’m ready to throw in the towel if something doesn’t change in a month or... — read more
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"?
Long time listener…
It’s been a while since I started monitoring this page from bogus lies to spot on information. Out of general curiosity, why hasn’t anyone posted the covid exception information? I assumed these phases already started and there should be some people... — read more
Verizon Retail
The only incentive is to do enough not to get fired. That is not a recipe for success.
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

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
They want to turn us into front line trainers? Yes, it is becoming increasingly clear that the company wants people in retail to be front line trainers who will teach the customers to not need us, as someone has already said. Great observation! I... — read more
