Christmas Bonus

Confirmed Nov and Dec quota relief being given as Christmas "Bonus" Funny how they take our commission by inflating quota crazy high just to give it back to us as a "Bonus". (Smoke and mirrors)

Telesales / Customer Care Supervisors?

Why? What’s the point? They’re not helpful, they know very little, and they’re not held accountable? My supervisor is in our Slack group for maybe 1-2 hours a day, and refers us always to LiveEngage? I guess management is a joke company-wide, I... — read more

Work from home

Question for reps that are WFH and don't have ethernet capabilities and are using a router provided by Verizon. For those of you that still have a router, is Verizon allowing you to keep the router or what other options were given to you?

Get a new job, before you lose your current one.

Stores about to close again?

My Dm is telling me to prepare for store closers for 4-6 weeks. The timing is supposed to set up right after Christmas. Why not before? Ohhhhh right profits over people.

District consolidation is right around the corner

The days of a DM having 3-5 stores will be a thing of the past. DM’s will soon have up to ten stores reporting to them. Obviously less DM’s will be needed so you know what this means??? This is a fact and mark it down. Confirmed !
