Overheard a meeting today. It’s going to start in waves. Starts in January. 100+ corp stores switching to Victra, Cellular Sales and Russell wireless.
Kudos
Just want to give a shoutout to the rep in San Antonio who really painted an accurate picture of the micromanaging culture of what Verizon has become on her exit. She had the insight to “bcc” her email to her Retail Manager to several people in the... — read more
Our Benefits is what they are coming after next
Management and HR are soon going to practice shady practices again in order to mess with our benefits. They are trying to get rid of them (Anyways 18-21 year olds live with their parents still and have no real expenses, plus $500 commission check is... — read more
Company recovery
I sort of understand those who doubt that the company will recover after it sank so quickly. Are there any optimists who think that there is still some strategy that would effectively help this place to recover?
reps and SM fired over home internet fraud
It was bound to happen. South Florida …. 75 Verizon home sales tracked back to the same qualifying address. Just say no to slamming !
Verizon Compliance, you want things change call here!
844 8948433 Call them and tell them anything that you cannot share with your HR, DM, GM because you know those don't care about you. When you call here the call is unanimous and they don't even ask about your name. Trust me, this is the only way... — read more
The lion, the witch and the audacity of leadership.
Not sure if anyone remembers the posts that were on here about a random survey for benefits but I think my leadership just went above and beyond when it comes to being sc-m bags. During our weekly team meeting he sent a link about benefits and then... — read more
Any word on VCG?
Seen lots of people get fired for pretty random and odd reasons lately. With Black Friday being a dud, and calls sometimes 3-4 minutes in between (unheard of before) and VCG becoming every department rolled into one, what gives? Anyone hear or know... — read more
Camelback shady
Maditory phone protection being added to every sale and positioned as a "required" feature. Coached churn. Creating new LLCs on the spot with customers to offer SMB credits to close deals. Using pre-approved 5G Home addresses to sell home internet... — read more
Lmao just witnessed vzw lose a bunch of lines to tmo
Are you a sales rep? do you enjoy busting your a-s and then getting nothing for it? Then do I have an offer for you, just work for vzw. This rep worked his a-s off to get a biz client back to us after they went to tmo and he just got his ba--s... — read more
Verizon ratings are at C level, submit your feedback
https://www.comparably.com/companies/verizon#ceo-rating-breakdown CEO rating = C+, that's pathetic! Skinny Jeans no one likes you even worse when you come in your d-mb videos saying Vteamers and no one cares as you only get about 7 views.
Are you kidding me
“Don’t look to me for motivation, that’s not my job” powerful words from northeast DM. Yea definitely should be in Leadership….
DIS then VZ Hans your next !!!!
Verizon board Hire Ken Dixon !!!
Nearly every change they have made since Covid has failed..running list
Team commission . Fail Contribution Standards reporting .Fail RIS . Fail Staffing. Fail Business 360 .Fail Quality of managers being promoted. Fail CS. Fail
Your income when down significantly
Reminder that your STI will be less than half of the target, the RSI tanked due to stock going down by 33%, Verizon increased your bill with surcharges and they're not giving anyone a wage increase, even though inflation is out of control. Make... — read more
After esim
After all phones have Esim capability and SIM cards are phased out, what is the point to have stores? Verizon could just put up pick up boxes in every city and customers could pick up their items from the pick up locations along with their... — read more
Store closing
Just got told that a store in my district is closing by the end of the year. I’m hearing several stores are being told today
Free service? Test drive? Wtf!!
Look it up. Verizon test drive. Why haven't we been told about this? I found out watching a YT video. We are basically giving away free service to new customer for 1 month. No credit check, no deposit, no obligation at all. If Hans can't grow by... — read more
Twitter, Meta, Disney, Amazon, and many more doing Layoffs. Who's next?
We all know as soon as ATT or Tmo does massive layoffs Verizon like always will follow but not during the holiday season. When? Jan or Feb for sure. Is it finally time to go down 1 SM? Yes! We do everything for those lazy clowns. or do we need... — read more
2 reps
Really curious as to what Verizon is going to do over the holidays . My location is down to two full time reps & 3 managers. The higher up’s don’t see the the negative impacts their decisions are having to the frontline .
Seems like HR is backing up their Corrupt AMs & DOSs
It’s somewhere in the stores, if one is intelligent enough, they’ll understand themselves. So, is there a reason “WHY” there is an HR. Oh I see, to fill in the space & keep backing up the companies corrupt practices then. Verizon HR is just there... — read more
Is their goal to make even more of us quit?
It is my impression that the leadership thinks there are still too many of us. I really don't know what they expect to happen if they mess with benefits, given that it's one of the very few things that still keeps many of us here? I won't stop... — read more
February is when the curtain will be lifted from the stage
They’re saying SMs will be down to one per store and GMs will run just one store. Reps will continue to get harassed by them until then for not swinging: VZ Home, Credit Card, View Together & Set Up & Go. Plus they might be going for individual... — read more
The Micromanagement is unbearable
Every day i come in a good mood, I clock in, check my email and immediately become frustrated with the level of micro management that is rolled down from director to district manager. It is a bunch of emails scheduling a barrage of calls, trackers... — read more
Severance envy
Meta gave employees 16 weeks PLUS two weeks per year AND 6 months of health insurance coverage. And what do we get? Our leadership would be happy if they could get away with kicking us out on our behinds with nothing. As it is, they give us the bare... — read more
How are things after the layoffs?
Curious to know how is the morale and the work load after they let go of team members? I am still waiting to hear about the next steps. No one seems to have a plan on what needs to be done.
Verizon Holiday in a nut shell
In the retail stores it will be like this : Even though it’s pretty much the busiest season for retail traffic there will be zero leadership on the sales floor. Either the SM’s or GM will be on calls (why do they have so many calls during the busiest... — read more
The End is here
It's official, Hans and team are going after benefits. Received a survey about what would be better: Give up benefits/increasethe cost in order to give us more compensation. Or give up compensation in exchange for keeping benefits the same. The... — read more
Setup and go
Is anyone else’s DM forcing reps to charge every customer the setup and go fee even if the customer doesn’t want it? Reps are afraid to speak up and say anything for fear of losing their jobs but we all think this is unethical. Anyone else seeing... — read more
Does Verizon still offer comision
If yes how does it work?
Holiday Help for the corporate retail stores ?
I haven’t heard much and we are pretty close to holiday shopping season when additional foot traffic is imminent. Does this mean no greeters either ? Seems to me this is all being set up for failure. What has leadership learned this past year ? The... — read more
Off-shore leadership
Looking good with all that "Diversity" I mean "Incompetence" at the top.
Dividend Guy Here
Hey all you Vteamers can’t wait for my $5000 in dividend payments via my 401k tomorrow and or today depends when you are reading this. Thanks for making the dividend go up again !!!!! Yes the stock price goes down the dividend yield goes... — read more
Verizon on resume
I'm trying to find a job, and it's not at all easy to find a job now, but my experience tells me that VZ does not have any special value on a resume. That's why I find it interesting that some here claim that the company still has a good reputation... — read more
Verizon needs more innovation
It seems to me that the leadership is convinced that it is doing great things and therefore ignores the fact that this company urgently needs more innovation. This would include assessing existing business plans and aligning with external factors... — read more
