Hazelton's corporate store went union today! Congratulations to them for Having the courage and team strength to pull it off!
$120 ARD
High unattainable expectations are given when someone doesn't want you to win. $120 is the ARD now. Canton Ohio
Been working here for so long
What are you NOT supposed to do in sales? I dont even know the difference between shady and ethical anymore.
Prepaids
Is it okay to ring out Prepaids if a customer wants to buy a phone at full retail?
New Commission Structure
How is the new commission structure working for you guys?
Shady...
I’m in GL and was an RIFed SM recently. Never on a warning and in good standing. I heard An SM position recently opened in Cranberry, PA, which from what I understand is a highly sot after store. The position was opened with relocation assistance.And... — read more
Thank God for the new commission structure. Bye shady reps!
FL here. Thank god for the new commission structure. You shady reps never deserved 80k+ to begin with. In fact you were all the inevitable death of Verizon, and the reason why honest hard working reps were always frowned upon by leadership as well as... — read more
The commitment system is just another way to coach out reps
I see the favorites and high performers given softball commitments and never even coached on their commitments. I see SMs go up to their favorite reps and tell them they're going to do an observation on that person's next sale, so pitch a hum or... — read more
Commission
What does everyone think of their new commission set up? Do you think you will make more or less? What are some of your quotas?
Can I be laid off alrady?
The only thing keeping me here is the possibility of severance.
PERSONAL/SICK DAYS
What is the deal with Personal state sick time and sick days? How many times can you call off?Nobody can ever give me a 100% correct answer on this.
20% Layoff , 60% to IBM, 20% Verizon will keep.
Any news on this ?
Store Closing confirmed
Store in Lithonia, Georgia has been told that they will be closing on July 31 by the director.
Any reorgs?
Asking for a friend...
Charleston Financial service
Does anyone have any details on this center? Reps in Care have been given an end date of September 24. Their managers have went over their severance packages as well. On the other hand Financial services reps are in the dark. The Charleston call... — read more
Commitments
Anyone heard anything about the status of the whole commitment coaching system. Seems shady that one rep could potentially be terminated for not attaining commitments that other reps never had to do in the first place. Also seems easier for managers... — read more
September RIF
I am hearing, from having to think about what names to give the next rif is moving from 10% to 30% or higher. This is for IT development groups, not sure about the rest of the company. Wish they would let me volunteer before the ship sinks. It is... — read more
Fake News
Most of you complaining are probably bottom performers that should be doing something else. Sorry no handouts getting lucky by clerking. Those days are over, time to sell. Most of the stuff on here is fake. And are posted by losers. No one is forcing... — read more
New Quota Thoughts?
So the new quota consists of new voice lines and upgrades only to multiply rather than pull thru/strategic to help you out. We don’t get voice lines, no one comes to switch, and our new plans are overpriced. How are we and management going to make... — read more
Layoffs
All these GMs with stores closing and you pick an SM to promote that's been fooling around with half her district plus her GM? Good job ta02
Where are my lines??
Ever since they've been laying off IT our pos system has been absolute garbage. Constant freezing and not sending lines for activation. How am I expected to just hand people the phone for set up at home if every 1/10 new lines doesn't get sent to... — read more
June 18 launch?
What is happening on June 18?
Be careful if this is you
The standard is if you've been with the company 20 years, you are over the age of 40, and you make more than 60 - consider yourself available to be toast. Exactly what was said here. If you can tick of two (or God forbid three) of these categories... — read more
Lowell out, Hans in
Why in the world would this company want a new leader with questionable integrity and low moral standards? I believe he was fired from Ericsson for improper activities involving company funds. It just makes no sense to me.
Retail sales positions being reduced?
Has anyone heard anything about the actual sales positions being reduced? I have read some entire stores closing, and management being layed off, but anything about reps?
NEW IT RIF happening- notifications in August
IT Development is having a 10% RIF. I just volunteered and this is real. Don't know if its due to outsourcing not happening in development or if its in preparation for it. The fun never stops! At least I am getting out with a package. Good luck... — read more
Set Up At Home
How are you guys dealing with the Tech Coach option for setting up a customers device once they have upgraded?
Today's layoffs at Verizon Wireless
More layoffs on Tuesday Is anything really going on today or is this somebody just trolling?
New comp plan
Anyone who participated in a trial have any info on what we should expect?
Time for wireless to unionize
I feel withall the uncertainty that this company has, with employee morale low, indirect leadership skills - IT support should look into unionizing to hold their own. There apparently was a call eith an IT head stating the lay offs were part of an... — read more
F'd by Verlieson
Just when you think you can't hate this place any more than you already do.... Now you are taking away our discounts, so some customers now will be saving more than employees, nice work you tools. Will Verizon ever understand how to treat it's... — read more
More to come?
Heard rumors of more layoffs/ closing of more call centers the end of this year. If so which centers?
Layoffs, store closures, commission restructure, discounts lowered yet one thing remains
Lowel Mcadam isnt going anywhere and will continue to receive increases in salary and bonuses along with share holders and his cronies. Keep that in mind next time you want to defend this company
Anymore Retail Cuts coming?
If anyone out there has any insider information? Today IT was hit hard.
Bye bye benefits
Just got word that our 35% discount is being downgraded due to increased selection and cost. It will now be 25%. I'm sorry but in the last 4 years we have less smart accessories by a good 20%. I love how they know morale is down and they continue... — read more
When did it start?
Is there truly anyone left that enjoys working for this company anymore? The life is literally been s---ed out of me. I use to love it. Not only did I drink the Verizon Kool-aid, I served it up to others. I was proud. Satisfied. Now regardless of the... — read more
Another culling of highest earners
This seems like another culling of the highest earners by Verizon. The highest earners who also usually happen to be the oldest employees who will hopefully one of these days wisen up and sue the company jointly. How many of these do they think they... — read more
Has it started?
Is anything happening today or was it another false alarm?
Don’t hate what you don’t understand. Save your own behind
I once hated the union because I didn’t understand what the union could do for ME. I drank the company juice and nodded when they said that the union wouldn’t do anything for me. Don’t let anyone fool you and think that they can lower quota and... — read more
