Why Verizon RIF’d employees of x years of service? Only to rehire? Why not just move the pawns? What do you think?

I do not like ACSS Web. That is all.

Yeah, its all happening in Southwest Market. The most corrupt practices are being followed here in stores. The most interesting fact is that there is a huge “Age Based” discrimination going on in this market in particular, and to top it all off, it... — read more

I fully disagree with being a 2020 tech company. This was something dreamed up by Lowell since the tech.stocks were increasing and telecom was not. The Vodafone partnership interest acquisition was a disaster and VZ over paid at least $30 billion... — read more

Rumor mill is stating employees in some departments that had 15 years or more were pulled in and offered VSP??? Are these rumors or truth?

Is it safe to say no layoffs for 2/2?

Since when Verizon only makes 41,000 new lines in 3 months even with November and December being the best months of the year and even then Verizon did only 41K new lines. Pathetic!! We have never been this bad, Tmobile did 927000 new lines, come... — read more 

Dont worry about honoring those promos in Q4. Watch them blame it on riff or they let the bad ones go. Same story every year.

02/02 or 02/16?

My money is on indirect and retail ops. Dead wood walking.

If I’m not mistaking i believe the customer will have to use blue jeans to do a video call. If this is the case then Verizon is simply trying to get more downloads and put lipstick on a billion$ pig. It’s a dud and hopefully they can make it look... — read more

Here’s my take…it seems every Feb and every Oct is the announcement timeframe. Last year it was Thurs 2/10 (first pay week of Feb) with 30 days notice and last pay cycle of Oct with 60 days notice. Should we expect announcements on 2/2 or 2/16? ... — read more

Anybody else see this? Other stores in this area are running in the low to mid 100s for gross gains. This one store is 260 AND has super high TMP. We looking at the new Hialeah here?

Verizon added 41,000 consumer subscribers in the fourth quarter. In the September quarter, Verizon lost 89,000 consumer lines. Good job Vteamers!!!

Hans said on the investor call that he is reviewing the sales comp plan for consumer. Hopefully that means that team comp will finally be gone.

Did Hans fix VCG. Can't wait to find out.
