What is everyone’s thoughts on your new managers that came from indirect during the merge- whether it’s a DM, GM, or SM role? Good, bad, impartial?
Who decided who gets promoted?
Do those people have any idea what they're doing? The latest wave of promotions went mostly to people who don't even know know how to do their core jobs. How exactly is that a good idea and how will that help the company? I know nepotism is rampant... — read more

SMs now harassing reps for not selling VZ Home
SMs are not harassing Reps for not selling VZ Home. They’re literally telling us to include that in the Quote for every single customer. That’s not right and unethical. How can we complain about it? Is HR still gonna stuff cotton in their ears or... — read more
Unnecessary stress?
Employees are so afraid of a bad RIS that they do whatever needs to be done to not open accounts of rude customers. Can’t be good for the ACTUAL customer experience. No one wants to be abused by a customer, then have that rude customer dock not only... — read more

Why is it that towards the end of the month systems just S--- & we get a detractor at the very end?
It doesn't take rocket science to figure this out. System outages & negative surveys always come in the same end bcz Verlieson doesn’t wanna pay us. Simple. Also, they probably got a specialized IT team either here or in India where they monitor... — read more

Just want to see if there are any stores making anything over $1,500 in commissions ? Or is the standard comission check now $900?
COVID VACCINE
What's the procedure if you get the Covid vaccine and have terrible side effects? Is that part is Covid pay if you can't work??
Stores Frauding Numbers

RIS scoring and affecting pay is an archaic racist practice.
Sources below. Such a large part of our pay or any of it should be weighted on customer surveys. It's a scientific proven fact that ethnic workers are judged more harshly then their white collogues. There was even a negative survey that lowered... — read more

I know we are all waiting for April for the next round of retail cuts so with that said- any definitive information? Obviously SMs, but more GMs? And is B2B being cut in any of their roles ? Telesales ? Where the hell should we apply, really?
It’s too late
I don’t know what to say. Prayers for all those impacted.
We need a Union!
I need a union to come in and fix our attendance practices. I know supes and managers can’t touch union employees. I’ve had my warning deleted twice and I was put on a final writing warning. It’s wrong. Everything is wrong! It was wrong the last 2... — read more
Managers are now threatening to write reps up/ coach them for not selling VZ protect home
We’re literally told to add it in flex quotes & slam it to the customer. This is not ethical and should be brought to HR/ higher ups
Verizon Protect Home , has anyone used this yet ?
Is it worth adding for a few months to see if it’s beneficial ? Do they just repair or do they issue a lot of refurbished products ?
