Call out and say emergency short notice day. Management can't ask why. We have no devices customers want. They extend our hours for the mystery traffic for our no devices. For everyone that wants to take a stand against this vaccine mandate. Quota... — read more 

Yeah I thought so, choosing not to give us that option. "Lets Go Verlieson"

I’ve only been here a little over half a year, but enough to see what kind of company it is. A colleague told me that not being here for a long time means nothing and that I can also be RIFed. Is it possible that even employees who are relatively new... — read more 

Looking like WPH and Union employees might be required soon as well.

Just today, my boss said.. False churn the he-l out of it so we can hit our numbers..They put it in our hands, so that we can get fired for their inability to stand up for actually not having the tools to do our job. Tell me how this is going to play... — read more 

With everything back ordered until Christmas at this point, what is Verizon going to do for us this month? Managers still micro managing numbers and sales but are clueless to what is going on in the real world. Even having a quota is a joke. Welcome... — read more 

The future plan is to migrate all of the Baseband Units to the cloud. Once this is complete Cell site maintenance is going to be contracted out. That is why Verizon is still hiring System Performance Engineers, laying off Field Technicians and not... — read more 

Never before have I seen so many people in the Engineering staff job hunting. I have even overheard conversations about people putting their homes and cars up for sale so they can relocate for employment. Verizon is winning the race to the bottom!

Refer a friend get a bonus. Hey friend welcome to H-ell . I don't think I know anyone I hate that much

I somehow overcame the fact that I was told in a very ugly way that I am no longer needed here but the timing that this company chooses for cuts is more than reckless. Do they always have to choose the worst possible timing, when people are preparing... — read more 

I would like to hear your thoughts/comments on deciding between leaving VZ or waiting out the unpaid leave to see what happens. I am not interested in a debate about the vax, good or bad just your thoughts on whether to take my lump sum and leave or... — read more 

Could it be that you have a lot of disgruntled employees ? That is exactly what it is. This is what happens when you choose to ignore the low morale and treat it like BAU when it’s everything but. Sources are saying upcoming shrink in 4th quarter... — read more 

It really shows how bad things are with the company and how little they care about employees to not do anything for the week that is “about us”. All we got was daily useless emails. Did anyone actually get anything?

We were asked at the last min. To join a sync up call. It was of course a call about the company wide RIFs. Director looked stressed to the max like he had a stroke and the managers performance on the call could only be described as embarrassing... — read more 

What is your age and how long were you with the company? Share area you worked if you want.

Were all of you keyboard warrior bullies mean before you worked at Verizon? Or did the job steal your soul and make you think you have the AUDACITY? Seems like this forum could be a little more supportive…

I'm pretty new here. I am satisfied with pay, considering my previous experience, I can't even ask for anything higher. It would not be realistic. However, I am interested in what someone mentioned that there has been a decrease in pay here from year... — read more 

Hearing from co-workers news will be out tomorrow. Has anyone else heard this?

Funny how if you work hard you are guaranteed to be taken advantage of. Managers will expect you to help everybody else who find some of their tasks too difficult when in reality they are just lazy. Well, I'm done. I've suddenly developed an... — read more 

It is amazing to me how this company has no sensibility to provide employees with conditions so that they can do their job properly. Someone mentioned that every day they have to deal with several iphones that won't activate because this company... — read more 

The 4th QTR ESS Survey is out. So many of my peers share that they are afraid to be honest on these surveys. If you don't think Verizon is a great place to work, stop saying that it is. Use the Comment box to provide examples of the things you... — read more 

With the deployment of IOP task and task tracking you can bet the farm that this tool was 1000% created to track and mange headcount. THIS IS A FACT and every time we have a nation wide conf call and they say it's not being used for that they are... — read more 

If the union actually stands against the mandate, you would have droves of stores signing up. Wouldn't this be in their best interest? Well see Oct. 25th with the negotiations.

I still haven't given notice but I plan to leave very soon. A lot of colleagues have already left. Somehow it seems to me that mass exodus didn’t bother them at first. Moreover, I think it worked in their favor. However, now it seems to me... — read more 

I have been reading so many posts by the Verizon sales people. It sounds like you have the worst job on the planet. You lose money for bad customer surveys and have to cold call customers to sell them a phone when you got customers in que at the... — read more 

I encourage everyone to read up on this subject. The main theme running through the whole process is that it's up to the employer to determine the following: Do they recognize your religion as valid. Is the head of you religion for or... — read more

Job Application Question - Have you been fully vaccinated against Covid-19? (2 weeks after Pfizer / Moderna or after 1 shot of J&J) Can't say we saw this coming

Northeast mass exodus of retail upper management, has anyone noticed?! We are all supposed to keep smiling and push along while we watch everything implode…

Almost all my colleagues have something on the side. I think a lot of employees have side jobs, (only they don't use their company computer for side jobs). What will never be clear to me is why do employers feel so threatened by side gigs?... — read more 

Of course the retail vax mandate isn’t going into effect until after the holiday season. Verizon can’t afford a massive push back and refusal from employees when they can barely staff stores as is. Its obvious the end goal is work us to death during... — read more 

Regardless of how you feel about the vax, everyone needs to take a stand together on this topic. If the unvaxed are placed on unpaid leave or terminated, the vaxed will have to pick up the extra workload. Do you think they will actually give you a... — read more 

I remember many holiday seasons in this company, but it seems to me that this year's pre-holiday season is the gloomiest. It seems even less optimistic than last year? I plan to give notice soon.

Anyone have any insight as to what the “accommodations” would be for religious or medical exemption? I suspect that it will be WFH customer service.. will they decrease pay if that’s the case? Does indirect have to get the Jab?!

Our door greeter makes around $20-$23/hour. He’s awesome btw. Doesn’t let ANY bs into the store unless it’s a new line or someone trying to spend $$ But some of our reps that have been working for Verizon for a couple years are a little salty... — read more
