Consumer Economic Surcharge

New charge coming of $1.35 per voice line. I hope that customer service is ready to handle these escalations. It's not customers fault that Verizon leadership doesn't know how to run the business. Be ready for port outs people. My team is just... — read more 

Kool aid

Remember a time when we loved this company and drank the Kool aid because it was delicious and tasteful and refreshing. Who else is drinking oiss these days?

Economic surcharge for business accounts

Most new and existing OOC lines will be charged a $2.20 economic surcharge starting next month. What do you think they’re going to do with all that extra cash?

wouldnt let me keep my raise

i switched to telesales and they took my raise away, im a long time employee and a high performer, this company doesnt give a 💩 about employees or the hard work they do they just dont give a f**k

Contribution reporting fairness

How is it that someone who works at a store that does half the volume as mine and helps half the amount of customers that I do end up having a better contribution report then me.? Forgot about the quality of the sale ...I’m talking raw numbers of... — read more 

Do stores still have team commission?

Heard stores recently changed their team commission structure again. Can someone please tell me how this works? Is it basically hourly or you get hourly plus a team commission check? If you still get team commission, what is the goal ? Thank you in... — read more 

Any other stores voting for a union?

Please send some union reps to central and northern Connecticut please. Even though i know the union won’t help us at least we can make a louder voice.

Dividend Guy again

So I really want to thank the Vteamers for the dividends. I made almost $5000 this quarter. I also appreciate the person who corrected my bad spelling on a post I made. Once a person posts here it can’t be fixed so thanks for the criticism. ... — read more 

A toxic culture costs the company in many ways

Hiring people and training them costs. So I think hiring new people who leave after a very short time because of the toxic atmosphere, while in the meantime doing nothing to fix that atmosphere is pointless. In my opinion, it's just a waste of... — read more 

They can set goals as high as they want

However, the question is whether anyone will try harder to achieve them? It seems to me that the only thing they will achieve by setting their goals higher is to demoralize and encourage us even more to leave this joke of a company.

This is CRAZY

Do the math, and figure out what Verizon pays us per item in actual real money. For example how much per new line, upgrade, etc. I'll let you do the math and figure it out. But when you do your jaw will hit the floor.

Forced Out

We were made aware last week that there is going to be 1,000 positions open for work from home. Most people in my store are wanting the job to get away. Few don’t want it. The few that don’t want it are being talked to everyday and asked why not... — read more

Funny for the outcry of 20

Reps used to make way more than 20 with old commission structures; seeing that posts are saying that old reps are getting shafted when they made 3-4k commission checks, makes me feel like verizon is trying to make 20 the norm for their new employees... — read more

New $20 Minimum Wage

Verizon announced a new $20 minimum wage. Is this not i tended for current verizon employees and “only” new hires? Ive heard that this is already in olace for the current employees because its counted with $500 commission. Is this true?

B2B/ SMB/ Business Inside Sales?

any word on the future for the business channel? seems kind of redundant we have smb reps and b2b reps AND inside sales reps in both channels as well. too much internal bickering over sales and accounts and confusing for customers and reps

Longtime employees are being shafted

How the he-l is it right to pay a new employee $20 hour and give nothing to your longtime employees that have been here for 10 or 15 plus years and only making afew more dollars than the new employees?!?!?! After all, we are the one's that are... — read more 

Apple going union

Layoffs?

Will there be another round of Corporate layoffs soon? Wondering what’s going to happen once we fully transition back to in-person. Should have taken the severance back in 2017…..

TRUTH!!

This will get censored but there is so much truth to what they are saying. Even if you don't agree with union they all speak FACTS. twitter.com/MorePerfectUS/status/1513901538422493188?s=20&t=6wlLx7r-avCBF5QEhlGFKg

May 12th

If you own Verizon stock, don’t forget to vote against Hans’ golden parachute on May 12th. I’ve been wondering why he had bought almost $1,000,000 worth of stock recently. Now i know it’s for the vote and will most likely dump them afterwards. — read more 

Emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion

Judging by my colleagues, more than half of the employees here are experiencing a severe burnout. Perhaps that percentage is even higher? Here it seems impossible to avoid stress and exhaustion on a daily basis.

My 2 weeks notice is in!!!

FINALLY i have found a job where they appreciate me. I have found a Mon-Fri with weekends off that is a work life balance. Not the cr-p we have been dealing with for years. I have genuinely enjoyed helping my customers and getting great surveys... — read more 

Can we stop Beta testing 2.0?!?!?

We have to end this experiment of 2.0. It does not work, period. I don't care how many work around for the work around there are. Customers are fed up and leaving. Reps are giving up becuase we can't get passed errors and can't sell. This is beyond... — read more 

This is not sustainable...

I'm at my witts end with how things are going in-store anymore. Customer service is a freaking joke. They constantly give grossly inaccurate information and no one holds them accountable. They tell you they're going to reach out for help and they'll... — read more
