Bottom line we are all temporary employees without out any job protection or rights. We are combined with indirect so we can train our replacements. Just stop the lies and be honest with us. We are all just waiting for the other shoe to drop. And we... — read more
We Just Suck Now!
Plain and simple we suck and no one values us. Quit or get fired either way it’s all doom and gloom from here on out. Verizon is just no longer a good place to work. It’s that simple, we suck.
Second Phase
More stores flipped to agents, less GMs and SMs more part time employees. More key holders to compensate for less management. Everyone remaining will continue to be phased out little by little until there are eventually 90% indirect stores. Most... — read more
Hopeless
I’m in near tears almost everyday because we are already shorthanded and people still call in sick. Some days we are down to 4 people total. Some days 3. I’m a single mom and one of the last full timers left in my store. I planned on building a... — read more

Staring contest
Well they've made it miserable enough to want to leave but pay well enough to want to stay. Now we're at a stalemate! VSP is a win-win. Then you can hire all the peppy part-timers you want. In the meantime, I'll keep hanging out.
Just milk the money?
I can barely maintain a positive attitude while the atmosphere in the stores is so bad and demoralizing. Some advise that you should relax and just milk the money, but to me that is no solution. I mean, maybe it could be a solution for me if I was... — read more

Turning away customers
Had to turn away like 10 new customers and 15 existing customers from the store today because I didn’t have the staffing to help the demand unless I wanted to be like other stores that have a 120min Q time. This aint going to last. The situation... — read more
Why are we told “magically” that we’re NOW understaffed
GMs nowadays are looking for more employees to be hired in Verizon BUT only PART TIME. There’s something going on based on how OLD the employee is. There’s definitely an “AGE” based discrimination going on. In our district in “Arizona” to be... — read more
Miserable
What a sad state of the business. Is anyone happy, or even content? I don’t make enough to juggle the 20 things my supervisor asks of me. How much more can you take personally? I’m one bad NPS away from quitting same day.
Question about employee pulse survey

Let Em have it. If you got screwed let Glassdoor.com know about it with an anonymous review.
“I’m technologically illiterate “
How many times do you guys hear that a day?
Data Transfer Fiasco!
Thank you for reading in advance: At my location, we have had the approach of not performing data transfers on demand without first offering options like a "step by step" data transfer back up and transfer sheet, trade in from home, tech coach, or... — read more
Don’t be scared to quit
I applied for probably 10 plus jobs and within a week had interviews with most of them and an offer or two. Finally accepted an offer and I’m out of that One Team trap. My morale was low, I was miserable and wanted out for a while. I hated that job... — read more
SMs & GMs NOT taking escalations on purpose. Facts!!

Do you even work for Verizon?
All I see are posts about unfair pay, horrible leadership, and Hans getting paid. I've yet to see one post about these damn denim shirts being refreshed! That's the travesty here!

Walkout
All retail employees need to plan a walkout during the next big phone launch or on Black Friday. If they don’t value us now maybe they will when the business comes to a hault.
Verizon’s Leadership is horrible
The issues start at the top. We don’t have leaders that grow the business through innovation. They try to grow the business by cutting jobs and going cheap on essentials. That type approach always ends in disaster. We need new leadership! Who the... — read more

Pulse Survey question "Do you have a best friend at work?"
Having a “ best friend at work “ is said to have positive performance outcomes on the job. It is an odd question for Verizon to have in the pulse survey because they frown against having best friends at work. Even if it was something that was... — read more
Solutions for retail: Top 5

Telesales "My leads" calls
Isn't it ironic how we push to sell our call filters with the upgrade tmpd, but then when we make outbound calls it says "potential spam" from verizon.
