Indirect Taking Over

Got word this evening that they are giving ALOT of VZ stores over to retailers like TCC, Victra & Cellular Sales. If I have to jump ship to one of them, which is the best for a experienced sales rep?

Verizon CS

The new Verizon Customer Service is not geared towards a positive customer experience. We have turned into Comcast with the worst customer service in the industry. We used to be a company that cared about customers, it is apparent that has changed to... — read more

Why is the stock tanking today?

Looks like we're down roughly 2.5% today. Anyone know why? Over the last 5 days we're down more than AT&T who just had a major outrage. What gives? The cynic in me says VZ is suppressing their own stock price so as not to have to pay out more for... — read more

You all deserve better

I was let go back in August as part of the lay off. Best thing that ever happened to me. From what I am reading nothing has improved. The discussion regarding the low raises is infuriating. Taking calls for Verizon is not easy. It takes a lot of... — read more

WFH no more?

I keep hearing rumors the goal is to get everyone back into centers. That it’s going to start with upper management then move to supervisors then reps. Anyone else?

Micromanagement and employee experience

I feel as if the employee experience has receded to new lows with the new form of micromanagement at stores. It's not enough to do the job and hit quota every month. They want to know everything you are doing irregardless of the situation. I feel as... — read more

Union?

What are the chances of retail reps unionizing? I would to be honest. It's obvious these quotas and arbitrary metrics are being designed to create turnover. Why pay a severance for store closure when you can reduce headcount through attrition?

L&D

Cuts in the l&d department happening now.

RTO Exception

If you are not returning to the office via the way of exception watch out. It is not a matter of "if" but WHEN you will be laid off. The corporate monster wants you under its thumb at all times. Enjoy your time at home while it lasts, dust of your... — read more 

No surprise here

Top stores not making commission, no surprise here …quotas too high so they don’t have to pay us, we all saw this coming. The company is not interested in keeping good employees or paying them! Look at the actions not the word salad they spew on us. — read more

Soon to be all outsourced?

Anyone else's think that Hans' goal is to move all of customer service to outsourced? We have way more outsourced or partner centers than internal cs. It seems like the public doesn't care if their customer service is in the United States anymore... — read more

Downvote Brigade

What's up with the downvote brigade on every post? Is it Corporate? Shills? The new and incredibly terrible overseas customer service department? Feel the Dignity, Inclusiveness, and the constantly Virtual Signaling Intranet page.

Sensitivity and Dignity, my a-s

Honestly, the whole byline notified with 'sensitivity and dignity' is an absolute joke! Try a VP on a group call letting everyone on the call know that they are being RIFd all at once and he was excited about the direction Verizon was headed. What... — read more

layoffs

Yall think retail sales reps in corporate locations are safe from layoffs?

Layoffs

Director did not know and was not able to share the names of the individuals laid off. He only knew the total number from his team. Said he would update us later. I guess local management did not have any input on the selection process.

Very poor timing

Gather all your veterans together one day to celebrate and honor their service to our country and lay a bunch of them off the next day. When our director pulled us all together to make the RIF announcement he made sure to mention how the layoffs were... — read more

Good people being laid off, bad people still have jobs!

It would seem that Verizon Wireless has decided to layoff off good quality workers and keep slackers and worthless workers instead. I worked for many years side by side with one of the people that got burned down Thursday. The worker was 1 of the... — read more
