Why do we still have the non-WBG MAMs? They have half (or less) of the amount of accounts as BAMs and double their quota. Why not disperse their accounts and cut the position? More accounts for me

With the COVID lockdowns and working from home, what do we need mobile phones for? All of my usage has been on WiFi and I've spent like 15 minutes on the VZW network the past month. Don't need 5G either now that I'm on my cable connection every day... — read more

So when will they happen? What positions will see an impact? What has anyone heard? Its that time of the year again.

Just found out that a company called TTEC is now taking our calls. They seem to be a company that handles all different industries of customer service. My concern is that they are taking calls for VZW one day and some other company the next. If you... — read more 

So in our store as we are 1/3 through the month we are trending for a 450.00 commission check. I realize we are getting a guaranteed check this month but if this is a sign of what the new normal will be it’s awful. We are actually doing great with... — read more

Sooo are we opening back up on Sundays ever or what? My guess is permanent 10-7 Mon-sat nationwide. What’s everyone else thinking?

So I’m not your typical lay-off board user. I don’t think Verizon is out out to get me. They are FAR from perfect, so I’m not totally blind. But considering my other options Verizon isn’t a bad choice That being said. I’m currently a GM. My store... — read more

Would the enterprise MAMs be better positioned as they were long ago, as a revenue based employee? Then they could overlay the BAMs and partner on large accounts to drive business. Better then how they are stuck currently.

Surveys will be "gamed" and I am in "leadership". And as usual, dishonest stores will be rewarded in their paychecks while other stores following the talk track of not asking each customer for a TEN will be penalized and scolded. Not such a fair... — read more 

Are we even trying to follow the playbook?

I’m glad Verizon is taking steps to limit exposure some of their employees. No on site visits from ops analyst, HRBP, or executive leadership. DM’s are allowed to make a small appearance every other week. On the other hand, I’m expected to help Barb... — read more 

Anyone have any insight as to what this call is about? Any ideas what will be discussed?

Pretty simple. We all have lives outside of Verizon and need to be able to request specific days off like we used to. Where is the flexibility that was promised? This is very aggravating. And no part time is not the answer. Stop pushing that scam... — read more

Anyone hear rumors of 11-7 every day including sundays?

When is the Verizon commercial coming out that shows our level of safety at stores and how we are protecting our customers?

How true is this rumor? And if true, when are they announcing it?

Any new announcements coming soon?
