So do we think this will be the final nail in the Verizon coffin??? Do we think Verizon was offered same deal and rejected it ( just like the original iPhone )??
Verizon Board of Directors Missing In Action
The board of directors is just as incompetent as Vestberg at this point. They sit by and do NOTHING. There are financial advisor opinions everywhere in the news about how TMobile has knocked Verizon right out of the ballpark as the stock value... — read more

So Hans is visiting Miami today, my thoughts!
Hopefully, He goes to the #1 fraud store in south florida, Hialeah. Yes, the store that has done the most 5G home via FRAUD! Perhaps he should ask the #1 rep selling 5G home, how is he doing it? Oh wait that rep is no longer with the company he... — read more

Telesales needs to unionize. It’s time
The bad business practices are out of control. Sending sales calls to care and telesales gets care calls. It’s absolutely insane. Forcing us to open every account when someone is upset and just wants customer care. Holding RIS scores over our beards... — read more
The issues are just piling up
I absolutely understand the complaints from our customers. It's strange that there aren't more of them. What is really problematic is that the issues are just piling up. I guess there is no will to solve at least some of these issues?

Talented and skilled employees
Everyone generally thinks that they are the best and that other employees are less talented. However, honestly, what would you say about how many knowledgeable and skilled employees still remain in this company?
New Verizon shirts
After one wash and in the dryer the Verizon logo is peeling off. You just can’t make this stuff up.
Any other stores open to only 5pm
Just curious if any stores out there have recently changed and are only open 1 shift 9-5 , and if so what was the reasoning you were told for change? amd what area are you in?
Stock price
The reason for all these changes is due to fact warren Buffett pulled out back in March.
Tech Support???

“As time goes on everyone in the store seems to know less about everything“
This was a quote from a post down below. How very very true this is. The retail stores are imploding. It’s getting to the point where the inmates are running the asylum.
Problem with layoffs
Expecting a fair approach to layoffs from this company is futile. It always somehow happens that the best employees are cut, and those with the worst performance stay here to milk the company. Isn't this company working against itself by doing... — read more

VBG reorg
Literally it is like musical chairs. Leaders gave themselves promotions, more power, and just shifted themselves around. Meanwhile, true cuts are happening. Sad state of affairs.
Layoffs
In regards to layoffs it should be has follow and they should offer a voluntary layoff. Those that want to stay keep and those that want to go them off.
