Direct location only told we will be one Verizon. Does this mean we are still employed by Verizon?

Anyone knows how long they let us keep our benefits before we’re cut off when we’re taking a severance package? Like the 50% off our mobile service? & our healthcare?

My store closed today. (Houston) (Last day working is the 30th & the 1st of Feb it’ll be open as Indirect. A few GMs & DMs have been laid off. I devoted a few years of my life to this company but I’m glad I started preparing early for this. Business... — read more

This one team call, restructuring? What is to come? Hmm.

I know that my GM is getting let go but I’m trying to figure out how they are picking who has to leave? Do we know if it’s based on pay? Or if it’s based on anything at all?

Our store just got told today that our store will be shutting it’s doors for good on January 31st. We were given options for severance or applying within the company. So basically they want everyone to be either do telesales and work from home or do... — read more

Multiple store closures in Chicago and surrounding suburbs!

Here I am. At work. East Texas. Absolutely normal day. You guys need to get a life.

I feel like all these posts about stores closing are from one person. Like don't you have better things to do then keep posting the same things about stores closing today?

On payroll through February 19th. Severance is 2 weeks pay for years worked. Time to turn the page.

Will something happen today? Who knows... But if you stand back and think the writing is on the wall.. Clearly Verizon is full of brainwashed employees that still think they are vauled. Just look back at the past fees years. Anyone with... — read more

With everything going on around us and Verizon finding ways to “motivate” it’s employees. Will the B2B channel be impacted with headcount changes? or will the R2B reps be merged with B2B? I’ve talked to a few BAMs and from what they tell me, things... — read more 

Verizon has tasked it's lawyers to look at legal options to require employees to get Covid vaccination. The have a roll out plan already published. Front line wireline and retail employees first.

Why are surveys attached to the commission structure? If the company makes its money anyways (bad or good experience since the customer ends up keeping Verizon), why do we have to lose our money? Why is there a charge back on Prepaid service(when the... — read more 

Any word on what’s going on? We stood up for a bunch...what’s this?

Word is stores that have all 40 hour reps will be offering VSP’s unless some reps voluntarily move to 24 or 32 hour shift or take a WFH job. Most stores are not close to having the company’s desired FT/PT ratio. Remember they did this last year but... — read more
