Is Dan's way of saying "We don't need you anymore." Outsourced and Ai is doing the work, while we all meet.
Management Communication
Why is our manager doing one on ones to tell us, if we dont hit the full quota this month, we may not have jobs next month? Something seems fishy.
December quota
Hahahahahahahaha. Don't forget chargebacks also! Merry Christmas!
More stores going away
Heard over 300 more stores will be sold off to agents in the coming year. Polish your resume and get out while you can. They'll either pip you out with these high quotas or you'll be working for an agent.
The workload is already doubling and our peers are STILL on payroll
Can’t even imagine what this job will be like come next month. So far the stress and workload has doubled as well as the quotas and that’s with our laid off coworkers still here
Severance
After years of top performance and multiple company awards, being labeled a ‘low performer’ during a severance call was surprising and discouraging. The lack of appreciation, combined with sudden goal increases and new write-up policies tied to... — read more
35% higher quota than last year
I thought this guy Dan was about customer and employee first experience. Looks like my experience so far is sh-t. Makes me miss Hans
IA for those let go?
This month will there be IA for the 13,000 working through it ? Heard mixed messages
Investigations are a must!!
Someone needs to investigate Verizon and it's executives. There's no way they aren't hiding things that would get them thrown in prison. Stock manipulation, earnings manipulation, growth manipulation, taking bonuses while laying off employees... — read more

Toxic Retail Florida South
Worst. ever. Management. Operations. Harassment, favoritism, nepotism.
Have we learned yet that hard work doesn’t pay off?
I regret every extra minute and every bit of effort I ever put into this job. Stellar performance meant absolutely nothing in the end. At my next job, if I’m lucky enough to find one anytime soon, I’m becoming the master of coasting.
January more store closures and layoffs
WARN notices for January (google it) They’re getting through the holidays and then tossing the rest of that 29 from the slack channel leaked. 13 gone 16 to go.
10,000+ Verizon Layoffs coming in 2026 due to the Frontier merger. It is (not) done, by far.

Imagine That
Our SD got cut last week and had to do store visits today with the boss. Talk about weird ASL.
Work laptop already been re imaged and locked down
Anyone else’s computer already get completely reimaged and erased and locked down without any warning?? I thought we were supposed to be working until the 19th. Is this normal?
Severance check date
I can’t find info on when we will get severance check.
Disconnected In Atlantic South
The outcome of this situation is truly shameful. In retail, we were pushed relentlessly to drive the leaderboard, only to find out that leaderboard performance had no bearing on job security. It is baffling that stores, SDs, Directors, store leaders... — read more
Stores closed that performed well.
So how come some stores that performed well on the leaderboard were closed? Because they didn't do enough volume? Well everyone in retail knows that they higher ups scold you for volume. They only want "quality" Some stores dug their own grave by... — read more

Back in the day Lowell ran the company with integrity. Back in the day Lowell said you could not be promoted to management within your market. The purpose of this was to evade the markets from becoming a good ole boys club. Since Lowell's retirement... — read more

I cannot believe Verizon is believing what this guy is saying. And I had enough of his outfit. He is trying to dress up like Steve Jobs but with dirty boots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97kXYnL2PWc

If you made it through this round, don’t just sit back. Do everything you can to line up other options. The job market is brutal right now, and the earlier you start, the better your chances. I’ve been searching for a while and actually got two... — read more
