Does anyone know if your unused vacation time is paid out on your final check when you put in your 2 week notice for wireless?
Union needs to get Wireless Organized.
The time is ripe to organize wireless. They are tired of having their benefits erode to offset management greed and blunders. Commission cuts. Retiree discount cuts. Accessory discount cuts. What's next? I'll bet it won't be executive compensation... — read more

Vzw royally screws us
Just getting out of hand. New commission structure expects us to work like slaves but be treated like peasants. Keep an eye out on an escape route.
Done for the week?
Just to check, by now we can safely say that layoffs for this week are done with and today will be just another regular, boring work day? I'm assuming so since it's been quiet on the matter both here and at the office, but it doesn't hurt to double... — read more
35% off accessories is now 25%, WTH!
Having this discount allows me to buy accessories I normally wouldn't buy so I can sell the product with real hands-on experience; I've actually boosted sells doing this. Now, I'm reluctant to buy anything anymore. I feel like we are getting... — read more
What is the new commission formula
I’m assuming it’ll mean less money for reps. But what is the actual formula and how is it calculated
New Commission Structure
Can someone explain the new structure, please?
Commission changes and payouts based on new formula
I took the new formula and worked with three prior commission statements from one of my Solution Specialists. Her last three commission checks were as follows : 3,200, 3600, 2,800. Using the new formula and implementing her prior months sales this is... — read more
More to come?
Heard rumors of more layoffs/ closing of more call centers the end of this year. If so which centers?
Retirees Got Hit Hard
Wireless phone service discount cut from 50% to 25%. They were able to get away with this bc some reiterees(wireline guys I guess) were only getting 25 % already. Now they pulled everyone else down to their level. Ouch!!!!

Where are the wireless customers?
I was in a wireless store in Orange County CA yesterday, and it was empty. Well, except for the four employees standing by the front door waiting for a customer. They weren't happy to find out I was a former employee. WHERE ARE THE CUSTOMERS?

“Exciting” changes coming to EPP
Our accessory discount gets dropped from 35% to 25%? Cool. I’ll just shop on amazon then. Maybe that’s what you wanted anyway
Goodbye verizon, hello T-Mobile.
Just rif'd this morning and my phone lines and tablets will be the 1st to switch over!
So This Really Was the 5/17 Layoffs?
Considering they're giving four week instead of the normal six week notices, it looks like this round was intended for 5/17. Someone here, at the time said the paperwork wasn't ready to go, so there would be a delay, and got a lot of grief for it... — read more
Is it done?
Or are people still getting notifications?
Thanks, Marni.
$10 billion dollar challenge. That's the reason Verizon is being gutted. Leadership has been tasked to save $10 billion over four years. Why $10 billion? Let's do the math... "Marni Walden helped drive Verizon’s $4.8 billion acquisition of Yahoo and... — read more
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. if this is true, verizon is up to its... — read more
Where are the 2nd quarter EISP Offers?
Guess that’s not happening after all!!!
How many?
Any ideas how many have been laid off from IT today, company wide? Is this the major layoff that was supposed to happen last week but never materialized? Or is this completely unrelated?
Is it only IT?
From what I'm seeing, it's only IT that's being hit. Does that mean this layoff is IT focused and the rest of us are safe? (Not trying to minimize what's happening in IT across the company, I truly am sorry for everybody losing their jobs, I'm just... — read more
Gone in 30 days....
Rif'd this morning.
Any info on IBM rumors?
Keep hearing "IT work will be taken over by IBM" but "IT" is such a broad term.
Good Luck Tomorrow
I hope no one gets laid off. But if you do, try to remember there's other options out there. Employees still should have six weeks of employment before the layoff is official. And hopefully severance pay. Unfortunately, I don't think that applies to... — read more
What are verizons plans for areas that have not been wired for fios ..5g??
Does anybody know what verizon future plans are
Commission Changes
Anyone who has been with the company long enough knows when they change the comp plan we sell more to make to less that is a fact. Managers get pissed because if we make less so do they. Anyone in the trails have any idea on what it will be.
Staffing
Absolutely no backfill for ANY position in retail. GMs leaving and SMs placed a acting. SS leaving abc managers deal with it plus key holders. More and more work for less and less and less..::
Why is Verizon on here twice?
I get it that the other one is "wireless" but what for? One is more than enough... We are only playing into their corrupt loophole in monopoly laws... mama mia!
New Comp structure
July 1st.
Don’t hate what you don’t understand
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
