Topics regarding layoffs at Verizon Wireless

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 

NOT YOUR ORDINARY RETAIL JOB

"Not your ordinary retail job" That is what our NOW HIRING sign says on the door. It should be required to include a disclaimer. ***Warning: Job will cause undue stress. Hours, staffing and commissions are subject to change monthly. Be... — 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

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 

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 

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 

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 

New promo

Our store did 13 upgrades today, not one customer was able to take advantage of " THE GREATEST PROMO IN THE HISTORY OF THE CELL PHONE INDUSTRY ". Lol....our marketing team is a joke, of course many were pi---d because they wanted their free 5g phone... — read more 

Done Stressing

Around noon, 3 new smb lines had walked because our piece of sh*t system kept displaying error messages . Adding 3 new lines use to literally take me 5 minutes, it turned into a little longer than an hour until they got fed up and left. 3 hours... — read more 

I have a feeling I’ll get laid off soon

Maybe it’s just anxiety, and maybe it’s not. I feel that they will soon tell me that I am no longer needed. For almost a month now, I have been getting this impression because my manager's behavior has changed drastically. I understood this as a red... — read more 

Another uninspiring Monday

Having absolutely no motivation other than paycheck? Most ironically, if layoffs were happening right now, this company would more likely get rid of someone who loves their job and is a hard worker, rather than me who has been working for a long... — read more 

Bigger pay but also more work?

I don't want my question to sound like a provocation, but I'm interested in honest answers. Everyone who says that they were underpaid here and that they received much higher salaries after they left here, I am also interested in whether the amount... — read more 

Post from the past about Hans. Felt like sharing it. Its been going on here too in Verizon. What do we really think of Hans and Krista NOW??

Hans Vestberg -- Now Verizon's Problem "Ericsson, the world's leading provider of telecoms network infrastructure, announced today that CEO Hans Vestberg would step down with immediate effect. The announcement follows on weeks of turmoil for... — read more 

Who Loves upgrades ??

We are running a buy one get one for upgrades. What a joke. That will bring the traffic to the understaffed store ...... Awesome

Do any of you check out the Verizon page on here?

There’s a huge controversy about work from home going on there. It got so bad the mods ended up deleting a bunch of posts and comments. From what I can tell, Verizon wants to keep its call centers home and the members want it. The crazy part is the... — read more 

Autopay

My Verizon autopay came out the other day. Typically my statement says Verizon is paid. This time it said “Mobvitel-Verizon Authorized Retailer.” I know it’s a legitimate charge from Verizon because the app thanked me for my payment that day on my... — read more

What is coming in June ?

Darkness ? Something is up but what exactly is it ? More sister stores ? Converting stores to reseller ? Headcount reduction ? Permanent hours reduction ? Permanent store closings ? Reduction in SM’s and GM’s ? Sunsetting team commisions ? VSP’s ?... — read more 

Is it worth having a little more patience?

I’m certainly not the only one to find myself in a dilemma like this. I believe I will be the target of the next cuts here because everything points to it, I feel it from my manager’s behavior. In the meantime, I got a job offer, but my starting... — read more 

Verizon HIRE more HELP!

This is beyond bad. Customers waiting an hour plus daily to get help. Constantly turning away sales everyday. Already pi---d off for wait time, there goes RIS scores. Everyone is fed up, nobody is trying, nobody cares to.

They just don’t care about who they affect.

Single parent families , don’t care. People that were middle income, but now qualify for food stamps, don’t care. Veterans, thank you for being a veteran hire number for us, but leave, don’t care. Because it doesn’t affect their income. They... — read more

I had a training re: staffing.

What a joke this company is. The gave us SMs a training about kool aid drinking talk tracks for when the reps complain about the staffing. "why don't we close down? there are only 3 people working" "how come the business down the street has so many... — read more 

Atrophied skills?

Instead of going forward, this company is going backwards in almost every way. I’m hoping for a package because in the meantime, while researching possible options, I’ve concluded that my skillset has pretty atrophied here. I’m almost certain it will... — read more 

It's not all about the money

There are a lot of very salty comments about reps that have a lot of complains and basically won’t go anywhere because nowhere would they earn as much as here. Well, there is, I left and now I earn a lot more, and I know a person who went to a job... — read more 

Need a reason to drink?

Try calling tech support. Not only will you want to drink you will want to bang your head against the wall and have the sudden urge to use foul language. I feel so bad for our customers. They escalate to sales for assistance after attempting to... — read more 

Quotas

I'm guessing it's the same everywhere but is anyone hitting their phones and bucket with essentially iPhone 12s and jetpacks being the only inventory in stock?

Part of something bigger?

I feel like dual stores will be the target obviously with the remote manager approval. However I do also hear that dual stores are being looked at as a massive failure. Who knows, when has this company ever made a business move that made sense... — read more
