December Quota....Really?

Not one store in our district came close to hitting Nov quota. Then they raise dec by 40%!?!?!?!. Not one person is motivated by this unrealistic quota during covid, when devices are now shipping in Jan. What's the point of trying when there is no... — read more

Commissions....

VZW Work Culture is Toxic

This company doesn’t care about you. They will work you to death. They want you scared, on edge, back stabbing each other and scrambling like rats. They’ll keep cutting more and more, while giving you more to do, to see how much you’ll take. While at... — read more

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 !

Retail and Covid

What is the retail store looking like with cases surging?

I2B

The expectations for I2B are ridiculous. The channel is ran as a B2B organization which it doesn’t belong in. It belongs in the same group as consumer IAMs. I’m just happy to be located in a big city and have good businesses to deal with. — read more

2 managers per store and a floating manager to cover stores when managers go on vacation or calls out.
