Never seen before

Daily in network assurance we are being told by our Sr. Managers that the current staffing situation is not sustainable and to just do what we can and that we will have to let things fail before we have any real hope of seeing any change. The... — read more 

Get the jab or else

Sooooo when they as leaders you can't accept a doctors note from an emoloyee, because we're not doctors; how is that different from saying get vaccinated or if you catch covid we won't pay you? If you are not a doctor don't tell employees what to do... — read more

Up to speed

So yeah...about that recent up to speed. Customers think a 1 hour wait time is bad. Just wait until everyone that doesn't want the jab doesn't show up all at once. How many of these young new hires are actually going to stick around? Yea ok.

Is this happening to you too?

So our manager told us that all the new Iphones were reserved for new lines only. We tell existing customers the phone must be ordered online because we are out of stock. Meanwhile there are phones on the shelf... I don't feel comfortable doing... — read more

No call/ No Show

Is it just my area or is it now becoming common that reps are just quitting without notice. No call, no text, no email, literally just “ghosting” work like it’s a bad date. Had 2 employees this week so that in our district.

Pay “Raise” and Title changes

B2B Reps are getting what they call a pay increase and title change. They increased out at-risk targets by $500, which is awesome however, no one is hitting quota so how does this help? Put that extra $6000 in my base pay! Don’t they understand that... — read more

Have to disagree

In 2005 VZW Retail sales was a great job with high pay and great incentives, on top of great benefits. Today not-so much as technology has changed and so has the need for our stores, aka, today you open an iPhone, turn it on and downloads legacy... — read more

Bidens Mandate

I'm guessing Verizon falls within the companies of over 100 employees to require vaccines. What's the unions opinion on this? Will we see more stores go union? Or will we just employees quit all over the place? What are your thoughts?

Do they really think this is sustainable?

Maybe they should check their math

VZ LEARNS for Merchandising LOL

Verizon is literally grooming us to do EVERYTHING managers do and STILL pay us less. If their motive is to push everybody out , they’re doing a great job. I miss the good ole days when we could actually sell and get paid to do it.

Any one realize QoS punishes you?

Holy mind sc--w moment. QoS is based on hours worked. Imagine you open. 1 hour not contribution, two 15 min breaks in the day. 1.5 hours wasted towards your score. They are punishing us for working on the clock.
