Work from Homers with side jobs.

Work at home employees are being tracked. If you have been doing a side job and double dipping, the powers to be are probably already aware. It's that time of year again and you will not receive a RIF package. Why would they start looking at you?... — read more

They Won't fire you stand strong

They have been very careful with their language. Your job MAY be in jeopardy or your job COULD be in jeopardy. Verizon has not and will not say they WILL TERMINATE you. I wonder why that is? Let's see it in black and white Verizon.

Pay increase needed

Retail vaccination after the selling season

I love how retail doesn’t have to provide vaccination until after the largest most profitable selling season, all under the guise of “potential osha rules”. How stupid do they think we are, or better yet, how stupid are we? Let’s bust our as--s... — read more

Manager doesn't want to know.

Network manager doesn't want to discuss any technical details. Actually believes they only manage on paper, no need for details. Anyone else have a manager like this?

No call/ No Show

Is it just my area or is it now becoming common that reps are just quitting without notice. No call, no text, no email, literally just “ghosting” work like it’s a bad date. Had 2 employees this week so that in our district.
