Verizon cares about employee safety, or do they ?

Stores in Houston Texas requiring reps to work 5 days a week. Next week. National hotspot, yet requiring all reps in store. 2-3 days a week doing salesforce calls all day to ask about my Verizon app, other 2/3 days helping customers. Already at 10... — read more 

Employee Safety

No spiffs for soliciting the new Verizon Visa card ?

These uniforms

Why can we have on what “leaders” have on. Only seams fitting to do that. Or is this do as I say and shut up about the uniforms.

Anyone tapping into their 401k?

Anyone here taken a 401k distribution through Fidelity? If so, what was the process like? I'm really concerned things will spike again and more lockdowns will go into place. I'd really like to have more money stashed up just in case - and getting... — read more 

Just Offer Packages:

I mean, I know upper leadership visits this forum. Why aren’t you just offering packages to your employees? Some people cannot work in the stores, some people cannot work from home, and NOBODY — or at least very few — will move to PT roles... — read more 

Jumping Ship

I know by no means that is scientific. But just want to get an idea of people who were actually trying to get out because of the commission change. Who is looking for a way out? And why?

Why has Verizon boycotted advertising on Facebook? I can't find a real answer. Anyone have any knowledge on this?

Telesales

If we transition to telesales do we see a pay cut to our hourly pay? Also what is the at risk incentive for telesales. The call they had today had limited information.

Open Your Eyes?

This is not a base pay increase. The “target” is BEST CASE SCENARIO meaning that if you’re decelerating, that insignificant base pay increase will be MEANINGLESS. This pay structure is massively f’d. Leadership knows it, don’t let them pull the... — read more 

Commission Changes

With the new commission changes, is there any incentive to do well? Am I missing something?
