Laid off but have a phone plan

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 :(

BGCO

Lots of rumors flying around BGCO call center in Hilliard today about a closure happening to a department in the building. Uncertain of any truth to it.

“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

Do yourself, your family, and everyone a favor and just leave. I did and never looked back. Trust me the grass is greener out there. Verizon s—s. Have some dignity...hey mr customer please buy this phone, this tablet, this hum, 175 in accessories... — read more

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

Is anyone taking the Lumerit classes

Is anyone doing the Lumerit classes and what are your thoughts on it? Verizon is only letting us choose Lumerit and starting next year, another school will be added. I wanted to start but it doesn’t sound like I’m going to like it.
