Topics regarding layoffs at Verizon Wireless

Golden years are not coming back

I'm tired of working here and I'm applying for other jobs, but at the same time I'm very nostalgic. Do you remember the times when the company actually cared about the employees being happy?

Maybe they should hear our opinion sometimes

Of course, that will never happen, because they generally have a very bad opinion of employees. But how many stupid mistakes and wrong decisions, which harmed the company, could have been avoided if only they sometimes took into consideration... — read more 

New Uniforms

Trash. McDonald's has better uniforms this place is a joke. Peace out

Entry level job that pays more then being an SM

Is it true that a lot of veteran specialists actually make more per hour then an SM and in some cases a GM? It seems if a rep has been in the position anywhere from 10-20 years that its quite possible.

Did Verizon just say “F the POINT OF SALE SYSTEM”

Rep : we have two reps and a queue filled with 10 angry people, could my day get any worse? Point of sale system : “ hold my beer” 😂🤣😭😭😭 Boy of boyyyy these systems have been WILDDDDDDD lately. I can’t defend Verizon to customers anymore. — read more

One Talk and Bluejeans are horrible products

Something has to be coming

In my territory there are several temporary store closures due to staffing. My store is running 3 reps at most per day, some days 2 (should be 5 minimum). Can’t imagine this lasts much longer. Verizon needs to do a reevaluation of what they are going... — read more

Verizon is mulling over temporary wage increases

I guess it would make sense for them to give most employees a temporary hourly increase and then review the economy every 6 months or so. I don’t agree that the economy will get better and prices will go down. So let them try it out because what will... — read more 

Verizon was just dunking on tmobile

Now they are raising the prices on legacy grandfathered plans. L o L. Just like the $20 min base pay, everything they say is full of po-p. They will say one thing, mean something different and then change what they say the next day. Guess it doesn't... — read more

Holiday hours

Why are we closing an hour later on holidays now? They pay more in operations and employee pay than what will be made by sales. Some of these summer holidays we shouldn’t even be open.
