There are tactics being followed to harass or unnecessarily write up “Tenured Reps” to get rid of them & hire fresh new “Young” staff that too part time. It’s all happening here in “Arizona State”. That should ring a couple of bells and somewhere... — read more
RIP to the my whole store quit thread.
Pour one out.
Salary plus
How is it even legal to break down management payment by the hour and then turn around and pay them half time for any hours over 40 hours??? That's so sh---y that they're asking their managers to work multiple stores sometimes over 40 hrs per week... — read more
Shut up and be compliant.

Verizon ENRON
It's in the name and it's a ticking time bo-b. Short the stock.
I’m curious
Has anybody else had their GM call their friends/family up to come in and add esim “ghost lines” to their account to hit quota? Our store has been horrendously slow as of the past few months, and instead of our management going to bat for us... — read more

I hear this company really knows how to sell phones way better than corporate stores. I hear they pay way better too. How about that ?
Staffing Issues Everywhere
My store has 4 openings but no one applying. Other retail stores are the same way. It's not just Verizon. When is this going to change.
B360
You know why it's called B360? Because each transaction takes 360 minutes!

Advice from a former VZW employee…
I keep watching these boards to see how, if anything has changed since I was laid off a few years back. As a current unionized AT&T employee, I can say without any hesitation that VZW reps NEED a union. I used to think it was goofy, and unnecessary... — read more
Slumlord Business
If we compare Verizon to a rent controlled apartment building, their treatment of their employees would be strangely familiar to the way that slumlord landlord treat people they want out of the apartment. They make it miserable to stay, turn off... — read more
