So when do we learn about the changes in the second phase ? I know it's never anything to the benefit of the employee but I would like a decent heads up. Is there any info out there ?
What do you have to lose?
What's the worse they can do? Fire you? You will end up somewhere better.
Harder to get into than Harvard
Remember back in the day at orientation they told us to feel proud, because it’s harder to get into Verizon than Harvard
What a bunch of babies
Man up or get out. Quit whining or go get another job. Look around and do something. We all know Verizon has many people on the payroll who can't even tie their shoes. Worse group I have see are Senior Managers for Tech and Care. What a bunch of... — read more
Tank
Tank the Pulse Survey if you know what’s good for you. Verizon can’t keep ignoring how unhappy everyone is. 1’s all the way across the board.
Are you hoping for anything good?
People seem to have given up all hope that some things will improve here. It’s very hard to work in such an environment where you think things can only get worse. The golden years will never return, but still, are there any optimists who believe that... — read more

100% Horrible
This is now the worst job I've had in my life. It is impossible to succeed. Between the unfair survey system, the lack of staff, unreasonable quotas, reduced pay, walking sales, manipulating metrics, quality signal contradiction, unethical push... — read more

Lead by numbers. Cheated to win.
You've heard of paint by number for people that have no artistic skill. Here we have lead by number for leaders that have no leadership ability. They put their skill in cheerleading on group chat. It's a relevancy feeling that allows their peers... — read more
Store is closed due to somebody got COVID in the store.

Work Culture
Been with with company almost 9 years. It used to be fun, we used to make money, it used to feel like Verizon cared, Verizon used to want to be a top company to work for. The landscape has changed. Nature of the beast. I suspect I won’t survive the... — read more
News Article confirms ATT crushing Verizon with new promo.
Just read an article on how ATT is crushing us with this new promo that includes current customers. Verizon is in a lose lose situation. We don't have the money to offer a great promo to existing customers like them. Expect a red 2nd quarter.

There’s no way I’m doing my best anymore
This company has crossed every line. I did my job professionally and I always gave my best, my job came first. I didn't achieve anything special that way, except having them overwhelm me with extra work upon realizing that I will always finish... — read more

My ARD was $120 and I had low signal. My coworker had $96 ARD and good signal. I was given a warning and told next month I could be written up!!! I was told that I have to hit a moving target based on my total transactions. The more people I help... — read more
Contribution reports
Instead of managers having to do their jobs they need a contribution report system to do all the dirty work. The funny thing is I have already witnessed SM’s and GM’s manipulate the contribution report system. They have purposely guided most of the... — read more

Key Holders Training
That key holder training starts tomorrow. Let us in on what it all was about... I think it’s crazy they are turning all the reps to key holders.
Remember when we got hazard pay for two months?
Then it stopped and we only had more rules, customers and lack of safety during and when it went away. Lucky to be employed BS.
What it's like working retial.
Customer comes in, ask if they have a business or personal account? Ask if they know anyone with a business. Customer says they just want a new phone. Figure out what their eligibility is and what deals you can offer. Say you will build a quote and... — read more
