I personally witnessed managers mock a person of color who had a disability and experienced no reprimand. I saw another coworker get bullied by other coworkers right in front of managers none the less, and get it shrugged off. I was bullied at one... — read more
Are we going to be offered a buyout or no?
Someone posted on the other board there will be voluntary separation packages coming soon, can anyone confirm? Will we all have a way out? Is there a God?
Realistic Goals
Any chance we can get reasonable goal? If your gonna try and get rid of the low hanging fruit your going to need rule you can actually enforce. So can someone explain why TMP is lower for telesales ? It's not like ARD where you can claim the "get it... — read more

Customer Service
Verizon’s customer service has gone downhill significantly. They use third party vendors in the US such as Alorica, Conduet, and Xerox. They also use vendors in the Philippines where English is there secondary language who literally have roosters... — read more

April 1 - Retail changes coming again
I'm NJ based and the next round of "one team" is coming. Compensation changes (next big move away from commission) Head count updates (store hours adjusted to allow for one shift already in some markets) Head count will be hour based next... — read more
Number 2
I feel like with all these changes Verizon is trying to put in place we are playing catch up with the other cellphone company and Verizon is starting to realize that. Verizon has cut the most money where it actually matters in the company at the... — read more
Garnishment?
I think my commission check was garnished. We worked super hard and crushed sales maxing out well over target but only $500 bucks hit my account.
Business Channel
Anyone heard any rumblings on the B2B front for BAMS and MAMS? Cuts or territory changes?
That last training
Has anyone taken the last training that just came out? It just lays it all out on how they are going to get rid of all of us. Get 3 bad surveys, done! You will get a write up. Being observed not having the best behavior, Done! If they want you gone... — read more
RIS LAST DAY OF THE MONTH
we literally k–led RIS all month . Got one score of an 8 and lost $375 . This is comical at this point.
RIS last day of month
Our store needed one more survey and a 9 or 10 would have got us a 1.2. Ironically we didn’t have any surveys come in. I call B.S. Honestly does anyone have trust in the RIS scoring system ?
Did Verizon really get rid of the 401K match ?
Wow that s—s if they did. Apparently they replaced it with some stock award that is far less then what a match would have been. Glad I left.
Run away
Things have been deteriorating here for years and I don't see anything improving without the company's entire toxic culture changing, which will happen when hell freezes over. If you think it's important that company shows at least some basic respect... — read more
Anyone else notice they changed the RIS scores again?
I just looked and noticed that in order to get a 1.0 you only need a 80-89% RIS instead of 90%+ Anyone else see this? Haven't heard a word about this change from management yet.

This company needs to get its priorities straight
The fact that there is a touchless number for months now and that managers get on beat up calls because of it is absolutely absurd. This number does nothing for us. The fact that I get b–ched at because I didn't do something touchless and then my... — read more

Are all US Owned VZW Call Centers closed for good?
I’d be interested in knowing what has been done with the buildings of former VZW operated US Call Centers, and if anyone knows of tenants or reusing of facilities that were operating up until Covid came along in March 2020.
Layoffs coming

Winter weather in the South

Does anyone have any solid info 24/32 work week changes ?
Several months back Verizon offered reps the opportunity to accept a 24 or 32 hour work week schedule. Most balked at making this change for obvious reasons and decided to stay grandfathered in at 40 hours. If I remember correctly they made it seem... — read more
