Thread regarding Verizon Wireless layoffs

Hey Dan! I can help you cut costs drastically! READ

Get rid of all the tenured Store Managers and have someone replace them with half the pay.

Below is what GMs do, they dont bring any revenue.

Reviewed sales dashboards that an AI could summarize in five seconds.

Answered repetitive customer questions that a chatbot handles 24/7.

Sent follow-up emails whose content could be generated by AI with remarkably similar enthusiasm.

Scheduled employees using software that already suggests the optimal schedule.

Read reports generated by systems that generate reports about other systems.

Approved routine requests that mostly followed predefined policies.

Held meetings to discuss KPIs that AI had already analyzed.

Repeated corporate announcements after they had already been emailed to everyone.

Escalated unusual situations—the one area where humans still tend to outperform automation.

Provided empathy, judgment, and conflict resolution when customers had complex or emotionally charged issues.

@113 Try more like 150 to 175 k per su-k up. I was one.

@q5 funny you say that. I was the manager that every single rep in the district wanted to work for. That was on the sales floor making things happen. Immediately moved my team to top of leaderboard. All my former employees say they wish I was still their manager. I’m sorry you’ve had such a horrible time working for the company. Nobody is forcing you to stay.

@113 completely agree. all they do is look at a report that is generated by AI and go on calls and repeat those numbers

I always thought the DMs or whatever they call them now are the most wasted position. One area lead and an assistant could do that job. $120-150K per su-k up. Half are sleeping with someone in the district or have hired someone they have slept with.

Not gonna lie, I wish I was still a Senior Manager. Got laid off in November- working for competitor, but wish this sh-t never happened. Sorry to hear about the direction this company is going. Really su-ks. Some dinkbag sales rep who doesn’t do their job made this post 100%

Not sure that we could get rid of GMs but it is the easiest job for the most pay in retail. Basically just a meat shield and punching bag. If you can take the beating and drink the kool aid you will do just fine.
