Did you all hear about all the people laid off in the BGCO? I don’t know all the details, but much of SLC was let go. I believe it was all of Fulfillment, Phone Support and GCO. It doesn’t appear that GEA’s or Tech was impacted, which is odd... — read more
Zero interest in moving full time?
Someone mentioned that they know a few part timers who are not at all interested in working full time. I am a part timer and although I do not have the option to go to 40 hours full time, I would still think about it before rejecting such a... — read more
If stores are low on staffing then temporarily shut them down
Many stores if not all them are experiencing staffing issues. Until this problem is corrected and people are hired then start temporarily closing stores down or make some in store pick up bill pay only. The extra staff could work at a nearby store... — read more
Sales lost due to POS issues
How many sales were lost this weekend due to POS issues? I’m sure we are all asking VIKI for help and putting in the all magical “Quick Ticket”.
WFH Furniture?
Will we have to return the furniture when we quit? If I can scam a new desk and chair before I leave Verizon, that’d be pretty sweet. Thanks Verizon, about time you did something nice for us after bending us over year over year.
Afni outages
They keep saying Afni is having system issues with Verizon. It has been over 2 weeks now. Wondering if it is a contract dispute or something different??
Why isn’t there a lawsuit for RIS surveys?
We need to stop being pushed around. How do we start a class action suit for this? We lose money, get worse schedules, etc.
Time to move on!
Been with the company 10+ years & I’ve had enough. My retail store was impacted earlier this year & my option was take a nice severance or apply for telesales… let’s just say, I regret not taking the severance. My mental health is not ok :( Working... — read more
Huge part time job discrepancy
This past Friday a friend of mine was made an offer for a part time job within my district. I actually referred him because all the stores in the area need the help and he’s pretty techy. So the big issue I have is that his hourly starting pay is... — read more
Legit. If you want a mini Vacation.
Step 1: Call your doctor. Step 2: Tell them you are having ANY covid symptoms and they'll send you for a test. Tests take days to come back. Step 3: Fail the RTO. Have a few days paid vacation. Fu*k em. They cut our pay. Make it up one way... — read more

Employee retention program
Mentioned by someone else in the comments: “Verizon needs to start an employee retention program before 4th quarter gets here or things are going to even messier. Let’s start with a 20% raise to our hourly and a retention bonus. This type of thing... — read more
Verizon Wireless Online
Verizon just laid off so many coordinators for online support and offline support!!! Unbelievable
30 day notices given
I know for those that received the 30 day notices today probably aren't allowed to post anything Some have received the layoff notices effective 30 days from todays date. Not sure the scope but could be a discussion worthy topic today
If you were waiting to get laid off
It’s obviously not going to happen or anytime soon. If you want to get out, now is the time. When that extra money from unemployment stops paying people soon, all those people will be looking for jobs and good luck finding a good one. It might be 5... — read more
I feel like the Teflon Don working in a retail store
All day I just sit in my chair clerking the day away. It’s basically one customer after another after another. We are always understaffed and there is really no short or long term plan to improve that. Retail in general can’t even find people to... — read more
Which Layoffs happened/ who’s next?
Anyone know which department was laid off today and who’s on the chopping block next?
Does Verizon learn anything from its mistakes?
When I heard the new rumor about hiring seasonal employees - well that would be really ridiculous. They just seem to repeat the same things and expect different results. Is it possible that they learn nothing from their mistakes? Obviously they do... — read more
TOXIC WORKPLACE!!!
This company pretends to care about people by pushing social political issues and then turns around and 💩’s on its employees. The level of toxicity in its retail stores is off the charts and it shows in sales numbers, RIS and attendance. The company... — read more

Never lay-off land
Another false alarm. No calls, No lay-offs . Heck. We are still in these hot denim shirts. I’m pretty sure this is retail H**L
24/32 -> 40
Figure it out.
Tuesday came and went
And not a soul was laid off. Huh.
Looks like verizon is going to hire seasonal employees now
Hows this going to affect our stores?
What an amazing company!
I'm so lucky to be employed here.
What’s the point anymore?
VZW gives us DOG SH** and expects us to make WINE. customer: I’d like to port 3 lines from Sprint. Me: yay *app on hold *waiting 45 minutes for CORE to answer the phone and release the hold *waiting another 25 minutes to be transferred... — read more
Switch Layoffs
Verizon Wireless cutting cost having VZB take over building maintenance, followed up by taking over switch tech responsibilities? Looks that way
SMB in Retail
As many people throughout the years have noticed SMB is being put to rest there so no need to pay a team to control the 1-9 space. Most SMB customers in that space do not need all the stuff reps are being forced to sell them. Its a payweek get... — read more
Moving people around
In my area (2 districts) are moving managers around effective July 1. The people they are putting together in one store is raising eyebrows. The GM and 2 SM put together are the weakest we have. The store they have been placed in has the lowest foot... — read more
Heads up about district stores converting to indirect
This past week I was given a heads up that a few stores in my area (Northeast) will be converting to indirect locations. The official word is suppose to come out this Tuesday. My question is when this happens what type of options do the corporate... — read more
How does a corporate store measure profitability?
I ask this because most corporate stores don’t seem to be generating a profit these days. These appointments coming in that end up lastIng over an hour can’t possibly be making the store any money. In my store alone the company is paying over 37,000... — read more
Small business specialist and leadership layoffs
FACT! Verizon is prepping to layoff SMB Specialists and we’ll as leaders in the same org. Leadership is pleading the 5th and staying hush hush about it lying to the front line when asked.
Are they interested in feedback at all?
Leadership always wants feedback and says they want to know what's going on... then you tell them how bad 360 is and they just say meh. It would be great if 360 was the only thing that is bad. There’s a bunch of bad stuff here. And yes, they... — read more
Trade in promo is online only.

2 stores - 1 commission?
Hello everyone. Just a question on if this is happening everywhere as I've caught wind it is here. Not sure if this is some slow roll of the multistore gms ....but essentially what I'm hearing is: 2 gms However many SMs as normal 2 stores... — read more
B360 is the worst system ever!!
Literally, if SMB adds are sooooo important to leadership, fix the system! No wonder why business numbers are tanking. Nobody is bopping becuase they want to finish a transaction, rather than shrug their shoulders and the sale walks. KEEP IT IN... — read more
