Does anyone know if there is a program for those of us laid off that have a phone plan with VZW? I have quite a way to go before paying off the phone and my bill will go up a lot without the discount :(

“Year Of The Employee”
I have to laugh! No more leaderboard simply means you’ll be coached out of your store in due time. Upper-leadership is completely clueless. SMs and GMs don’t care anymore. Sink this ship already.
Just leave

Stock Together
We’re supposed to be happy...? For what? $833 spread out over 3 years, contingent on stock price and write-ups. FOH. That $833 will be swiped from our pockets in the form of dwindling commission payouts over the next year. It’d be nice if they... — read more
