Now all we will get is brown nosing/soft ball questions. Thanks VTeamers! So I'll go ahead and post the questions we wanted: If all my DM can do is text me screenshots telling me I s— and I need to fix it, with no clearly defined goal or... — read more 

I just received a W2 from Verizon saying that I earned wages in 2020. I was laid off in spring 2018 and didn't receive any money from Verizon last year. Has anyone else experienced this? I plan on contacting payroll on Monday.

Anyone know when we get STI and Raise info?

Worked for VZW 12yrs. Took advantage of their tuition reimbursement & got my Masters degree. Did multiple projects even moved several states & never got the positions I wanted. The positions I did get either didn't come with a raise or no more than... — read more 

Have you guys had your meeting with all the new changes? What did they go over with you?

It’s like they’re asking you questions to see if you wanna keep your job. Are you satisfied with work? I believe leader ship has a clear direction?Leader ship is creating a future I wanna be a part of? My role supports the company? These are just... — read more 

When will you id–ts realize that no amount of government-subsidized incentives will make Verizon do the right thing? They literally do not care about their frontline employees. Credo is sh–. They want us all gone. It’s not your “family,” it’s... — read more 

This week it will not be jobs that Krista k–ls but it is retail pay. Major changes coming. Stores will need to meet part time /full time threshold. If you want to know more, talk to an employee who is working in an Express store.

You know what's b—s—..... 4 of the 5 stores in my area are closed on Sunday... Why is it they get damn near a set schedule as. We are still here struggling every Sunday....

Double the work with Multi Store Mergers and “No Commission”. Just a trimonthly, sprinkles on a Donut kinda Bonus as they’ll call it. GMs will get raises, SMs are on a brink & soon there will be scavenging out the tenured employees to replace them... — read more 

Speaking with management it sounds like another commission structure was hinted at today. On the deck a slide flashed very quickly with the formula: (New+bucket)/2 And that was it. They sent out the deck and that slide was completely... — read more 

What happen to this amazing company. I understand that change is necessary and we need to find ways to adapt to this current market landscape but lets think back for a moment. Think of the number 6, that is probably what it bowls down to for the... — read more 

Confirmed. ALL GMs that are left will be getting a raise. Not the solutions specialist who are taking all additional responsibilities outside of their job description. Not the SM who are taking on more responsibilities now that the GMs have multiple... — read more 

So if I understand it correctly, TJ Fox’s group (VZ Biz Sales) was under by $400 million dollars. Does that mean if you’re in the business channel the pressure is about to become real? T-Mobile has some REALLY aggressive pricing and so does AT&T. I... — read more 

Verizon booked 279k post paid subscribers in Q4 far below consensus estimates of 443k. Gee who didn’t see that one coming?

I don't like unions. I just feel like it would take more money from my check every month and that they wouldn't help me BUT I think Verizon doesn't like us (Reps) either. If we went union we could get rid of the risk model and Verizon turning their... — read more 

The Verizon person in the article spewed some lies but still insightful: https://www.fiercewireless.com/operators/verizon-shifts-retail-jobs-offers-severance-to-some-employees

Ok, so they said we will have new district managers for a lot of stores and redoing the districts. They also said that reps will be learning how to do a lot of back work and learning how to open and close stores and will be implemented in June... So... — read more 

Yes, being without a job right now s—s, but I'd lie if I said I didn't feel some relief after the first shock wore off. I've been wanting to leave for a long while but was too scared to actually do anything about it. This kind of forced my hand. It... — read more 

So there are numerous job openings on the job board due to the events that happened last week. If you did not see those coming hou must have been under a rock or drank way too much kool laid. I have been told that those job openings are for people... — read more 

Should people at these locations worry more than anyone else?

Not knowing why you were chosen to exit even when no sign should be you. Ask and it's just the way it lined up. That's maybe acceptable to you all on the other side of the desk, but to us individually chosen to leave...it's just wrong. It won't... — read more 

I thought retail was dead. There are 10 new GM reqs posted today just in the southeast.

The big six indirect retail locations still have INDIVIDUALIZED commission structures. The customer will always have a different experience in those stores. I wonder if Verizon is putting pressure on those locations to change to the team thing?

We get our 💯 % percent commission check from December next week right?

I kept waiting for a notification that my store is closing and it never came. And it makes no sense. I know we are one of the most underperforming stores in the state. I was certain when the closing started we'd get the call. The fact that it's done... — read more 

Today I told my boss that I was so frustrated I referred to him with profanity. They will probably run to Hr and fire me. Got my bachelor's and mba at verizon and still could not get promoted.

Anyone else calling off over these last few days we remain open?

Stores are a thing of the past anyhow. Some were spared now but they won't be in the future. If you don't start looking for a new job right now (since we all know it's much easier to find a new job when you already have one) you might be in for a... — read more

I know some companies give 3 weeks or even a month per year, but others also offer a week or no severance at all in some cases. Sitting somewhere in the middle doesn't seem too bad. Mind you, my store is still standing. If I'm affected I might end... — read more

I hear people saying layoffs will continue next week but I thought we were done for now. How worried should I be?

Verizon randomly announced its consolidating their company by reducing amount of store managers, district managers, etc. They’ve already changed commission structure which deters employees from striving to perform. They are making drastic changes... — read more 

For those that got a package, what are the details?

So I'm really sick of Verizon. Is it possible to quit and claim unemployment?

I definitely want to leave this company but not empty handed. Should I try to negotiate my now defunct 40 hour job for a severance package ?

Yesterday’s announcements didn’t mention anything about getting remaining retail stores to the new part/full time structure. We still have thousands of stores filled with grandfathered in 40 hour a week jobs. Most stores don’t even have part time... — read more
