Because if they were not union, this bloodbath would have happened! Is Verizon next? https://www.fiercewireless.com/operators/at-t-will-be-closing-corporate-stores-as-well
Credo addendum
New Credo "How bad can we make it for employees and customers until you both just stop showing up"
40 or 32 ???
What's the smart choice longterm
You will know your new pay by the 30th
You will also have a chance to move down to 32 in august.
Retail - Touchless
For the people that are working retail, how are your regions/districts talking or implementing touch less retail. I work in the former west area and just feel that they keep pushing it. We can see the pressure the DM and GM is getting. I think that... — read more
Moving on
We have got to adjust and move forward. No more complaining. It is what it is.
Whats New!!! We have heard all of the same stuff any Real New updates
We have heard this over and over. Any one have any new info Part time/Full time/Pay/Hours changing/ Spots being cut (positions) Some stores are not even fallowing the playbook what options do we have Gm s and asm are tire of dealing with angry... — read more
Serious question for the heavy hitters
Do you really think you are going to be able to do this job going forward making 30-50% less in pay? I mean basically the expectations are still going to be there. I think VSP’s should have been offered .
At risk roll call ( rep level)
I work in Pennsylvania and our at risk is $1350.00 per month. I know that hourly pay is based on demographic so someone who works in NYC makes more per hour but do we all have the same at risk ?
Be Careful Changing To Part Time
I had really been thinking of going to the 32 hour schedule because depending on how much they up the hourly I may not miss that much and could make it up doing something on the side. However, did you notice in the training when you click the 40 hour... — read more
Business group is next
Just get ready. The business group is next to get k–led
Retail - make sure you hold leadership accountable to the playbook
People need to adhere to the playbook, if not let your director know. Seems eager DMs, maybe covid deniers are trying to push out less restrictions. Be safe, keep you safe, keep others safe. We are not “out” of this (covid)
Reps have one cards to play
Reps have one card to play call the u word if enough cards get signed per the nlrb all changes get paused until a contract is put into place and existing work conditions that are in place stay. At this point people are losing but loads of money and... — read more
One simple question for retail
What is your current view of Verizon as a company. Commission structure changes were inevitable however the way it was rolled out and the timing during a pandemic seems to be a bit suspect what is your overall feeling of the company?
Sundays
Stores that are currently closed Sundays before Covid 19. How many managers did you have 1GM 2SM or 1GM 1SM 1LLS?
Any one know if going to partime will affect the increase ??
no one has any answers or ideas of how things will work. I know theirs a lot of folks bad mouthing the change and the options and i do respect every ones opinions but at the end of the day does any one know if the ppl going to pt 32 from full time... — read more
From:
On Thursday, June 11, at 12 noon, we will take a stand against racism. We will stop working for 8 Minutes and 46 seconds. We are asking Wireless Workers, even those not yet members of CWA, to join with our members to stop and reflect for 8 minutes... — read more
VZW PR
Call it what it is: manipulative and dishonest. You cannot say you care about social movements, social justice, e.g. BLM/Pride, and THEN SCREW YOUR CUSTOMER-FACING EMPLOYEES THAT ARE COMPRISED OF POC/LGBTQ A WEEK LATER? Verizon is a fraud... — read more
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
In store business reps
Anyone know what’s going to happen to the I store business people, I was going to apply for a position once it opened up...but not so sure after this. Thoughts?
It is a no win. Retail or Telesales
Retail employees have not been given all the information about thier future pay. What is our new hourly base pay. What is our markets at risk? We will find out on July 22. Then on a call yesterday Krista tells us that telesales opportunities will... — read more
Uniforms
What person in leadership is responsible for this denim atrocity? They think it fits where we are going. Fk them, make them wear Denim every day.
Go to part time collect unemployement
If you are a 40hr a week employee , it seems almost it would make sense to drop to a reduced hours offering of 32 or 24 hrs and collect unemployment to recoup the rest as you will make more ....is this something possible
MO FO SENIOR MANAGERS
Is there any truth about Care reducing the number of Sr Managers. I hope so!
Verizon Atrocities - MAMs pay the price
To all the Major Accounts Managers-> thanks so much for your hard work. By the way, in case you didn't see the memo, we are demoting you. And, if you want your old job back, you'll have to apply. Who cares if you did it before and were successful... — read more
Why are there not more Black workers in VZW?
Verizon IT is almost entirely South Asian (Indian). Where are the Black workers? Why are there no Blacks in Leadership? Black Lives Matter.
"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...
So is Part Time Worth It???
Is part time worth it??
Verizon should look what happened to Circuit City
I have been through this before. Circuit City went from salesman based commission to a store commission. They sold it as it would be better for the customer.. some sh– they are feeding us now. The top sellers just stoped working as their pay went... — read more
Full Details of New Comp plan
I'm assuming no one has gotten the full details of our new comp plan how it works with the payout with metrics will be measured.. and what your new base salary will be.. so that survey they want us to fill out today is asking how this was all... — read more
Telesales comp plan
Does anyone have any details on the telesales comp plan? How are they paying them? What is their quota like?
How many quit?
How many people do you think will quit over commission changes.
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
