Verizon Has A Socialist Pay Structure

You mean no matter how hard I work I get the same pay? Yes! If I have the best numbers in the company and the worst rep in the company works in my store. Are you telling me we get paid the same? Yes! So you are going to motivate me by paying me... — read more

Is it fair to say...

That the POS 2.0 team are just dragging their knuckles at giving us a POS that actually works? Are they trying to justify their existance? Stretch every dollar allocated to them for as long as humanly possible? How is it possible a retail store... — read more

The laziest have the best status here. How come?

I worked hard and got nothing in return except stress. Since I started working less, other than having less stress, I seem to be more valued as well. Unbelievable. The lazier a person is, the better he's off at Verizon.

It’s hard to believe this used to be a great company

Someone who hasn’t worked here before, would never believe this company was great. I used to be proud to work here. How they managed to degrade it this much is amazing and it could certainly be a case study. Could it have been any different?

NEW VPS

Within the last week the VP of the West left and the VP of the East was repurposed to another position. Very interesting.

Im averaging about 4 callouts per week. There is no incentive to come in, pick up a shift, or work harder with this garbage team compensations. It needs to change and RIS needs to be paid at the individual level for reps. Was staffing ever an... — read more 

Indirect Omni tickets

With all the Omni issues and critical tickets/promo issues on daily basis they can’t get rid of IAMs for a while. As long as IT continues to do a sh---y job we should be good. Someone in that dept keeps f*ing up the code/algorithms. It’s pretty... — read more 

I2B to be eliminated

I2B will be eliminated by end of Q1 ‘22, starting with the current “temporary reassignment” to R2B. I advise anyone in role get out as it’s not profitable for the VBG.
