Wilmington is a ghost town
Our center hasn’t had a new hire in almost a year and the second floor is 2/3 empty. The 3rd floor is 3/4 full. Do you all think Wilmington is closing? Lease is through 2024 but it feels strange like they are keeping something a secret?

Hans...
So based on the Pulse survey “scores of 70% or higher are considered an organizational strength”. When does that translate to every other aspect of the business? Lol, or did it just fit your bogus narrative? 2.0 smh
You can't be written up if you are meeting your PA goals
Despite what some managers think, they can not write you up if you are meeting your PA goals. I have been with the company for a very longtime and have seen some managers invent their "own" goals that are either not on the PA or try to write reps up... — read more
5G seems like a waste for your home when you have FTTP
5G home is a waste of money that could be better spent on acquisitions or new fiber to the home builds. Maybe a streaming service?
Question for fellow Call Center Reps...
Call center manager seems to think that they can set their own PA goals well above the PA Target set by the company. If people are not meeting this managers goals (way above what is required for the PAt) this manager believes they can write reps up!... — read more

Verizon customer survey
This whole survey system is a broken system... they never have your back if the customer gives you a low score even if the customer was abusive or things that were beyond your control like an outage or something. A system designed to fail you and... — read more

Another round of layoffs with severance soon?
Now that the massive layoff with severance has passed, can’t help but wonder if and when the corporate grim reaper will come around again. Anyone hear anything?
Everyone Read, then please answer.
So this new Verizon is about employee empowerment and is based upon everyone aligning and employee morale. So then why is Hans our CEO? If you google him he has a track record of being the grim reaper. All he does is downsize and cold heartedly... — read more

This must be intentional
I have never seen a company work so hard to k--l off its own stores. It is so blatently obvious at this point Verizon is setting up corporate retail to fail. I guess when they start closing stores they will simply point to the poor pfermanceas the... — read more
June quota increase?????

Survey Scores
Whose smart idea was it to make a failed survey an 8 or below? That means you can get a 10 for yourself on a survey and get an 8 for Verizon satisfaction because of their experience with previous rep which you have no control over. If we are supposed... — read more
