Coming Soon…..
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
Re-Org
Does anyone know about the effects of the reorg impacting workforce planning analysis? Quarter1?
Covid closures
Multiple stores in district closed. And guess what?!?! All the employees that are out with covid are VACCINATED!! How do you even push a mandate knowing that the vaccine does not stop you from getting and spreading covid? Wake up and stop being... — read more
Jan. 7 Supreme Courts Decides
Less than 7 days till many people find out if they will soon need to find new jobs or get the vaccination. Good luck to those holding out and sorry to those that already jumped ship early.
Happy New Yr
Here is to all you hard working peeps!! Happy New Yrs guys and gals!!
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?
Covid policy
Why hasnt this been updated yet? With the vast amount of vaccinated people getting covid the policy needs updated. They are still differentiating between vaccinated and unvaccinated as if there is a difference. 90% of new covid cases are from... — read more
The quarterly bonus.
Well the post here was correct. Just announced today a new quarterly bonus for Frontline employees. The top 25% of Frontline employees, dark blue on QoS and with five bars or managers with the best SWAG for the quarter are eligible for, wait for it... — read more
Which Carrier?
Which cellphone company are you going to when you quit Verizon or are keeping Verizon?
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
They Win.
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.
Not trying to stop attrition.
I may have missed something, but it seems to me that they are not doing anything to stop the attrition? Sometimes I think that employees are more concerned than our leadership that people are leaving en masse or seriously intending to leave. I get... — read more
Feel embarrassed to still be working here?
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
Store closures in 2022
Do we know how many stores will close in 2022? Is there any way to know which ones?
Fake Slack posts
Can we make 2022 the end of the fake slack posts please? It is embarrassing already. Act like you have been there before. If you need a pat on the back everytime you ring something up and do your job then maybe you deserve a wake up call cause... — 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
Helyp lol
Hypothetically speaking, if you saw that your store has an appointment for 5-7 SMB upgrades scheduled (probably no ARD and they want content transfers) What would be the best way to shut that down before their appointment time? Asking for a friend... — read more
Who makes these decisions?
What they should do during this supply crisis is give us a low actually attainable quota to motivate us all month. Instead they base it off of last year and make it impossible to hit. We aren't motivated all month long because we know we can't hit... — read more
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Stupid Customers
Me:ok please go ahead and follow the instructions on screen Karen: can I talk to someone who knows anything about this phone? Me: ma’am what does the first thing on your screen say? Karen: it says press the green button to continue Me: ok…good ahead... — read more
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.
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
And appeals court approves enforcing Vaccine Mandate. It's not over.
Get the jab or lose the job.
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
Stock had a good run today... Maybe Hans should stay quarantined...
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
PRONOUN TRAINING CUSTOMER SERVICE
Have any of you had the pronoun training and customer service. It will be part of our behavioral PA next year. No more calling someone Mr or Sir or Miss or ma'am. Customers will have the option in the app to change their pronoun. He him her. She me... — read more
T-mobile minimum wage $20 & up !!
Starting soon....all 750K T-mobile employees get a raise. If you are new you get a raise or if you've been around a while you get a raise. Matter of fact all employees will get raise at T-mobile. The bar starts at a minimum of $20/hour for EVERY... — read more
I would be much more motivated if...
(finish the sentence) I don't think I've ever been less motivated to work. I used to be so focused that I often forgot how many hours had passed. Now I barely have enough motivation to start working. Honestly, I would be most pleased and motivated... — read more
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?
I’m finally out should of left along time ago!!

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.
