Is it time to call the union?

How is this even legal? I just need solid numbers. And did you catch any movement to part time is permanent. Just offer VSP and let us go.

Pure Exploitation

The format of the training... prompting us to sign documents before we even know how it affects our pay structure... leveraging part-time as a “benefit to us,”... how is anyone not seeing through these smoke and mirrors? This is criminal. Verizon... — read more

It's simple

Don't select anything. No one go 32 or 24 or w/e. Refuse to accept either. I didn't see a option for 40 anyway.... So im guess they are hoping people will think they have to choose 24 or 32. Don't do it people until your give the offer sheet you... — read more

"Verizon announces a massive paycut to their frontline "hero" workers just days after being voted the best covid-19 company to work for"

Seems like a great headline to me. Wish I knew a reporter that wanted a big story about a company that says they truly care about the social impact they make. On paper, they can say we make the same, to avoid unemployment claims for diminished... — read more 

New comp training out this morning.

It all but confirms most reps will see about $400 dollars a month rolled into their base. The rest will be made from the new team commission. An average month for most store looks like it will be around a $800 to $1100 per team member in commission. — read more 

Solid numbers?

Does anyone have any solid details on how last years achievement will affect the base pay increase?

Was this the goal?

Was the whole commission thing done specifically to get people to quit on their own and save them a buttload of money in the process? Because it certainly seems so from where I'm standing...

Serious union question

Would the new pay structure have changed so dramatically if Verizon retail was unionized? I was never in favor of joining a union but honestly if the previous pay structure was protected by a contract things would not be so drastic. You do realize... — read more

Congratulations to the underachievers of retail

So basically Verizon rewarded all the underachiever bottom feeding reps today and punished those who actually made quota month after month. Great job! They now have gone to a communistic business model in the retail stores.

Stores all cleared out

Nationwide all Corp VZ retail stores cleared out all the inventory off the sales floor due to the riots and looting. So now we are working out of empty stores.. this is not going to help with retail recovery.
