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
September Quota Adjustment
Any of you received the quota adjustment for Septembers lack luster numbers?
Pivot Award
Verizon and Hans won the pivot award for best covid response... (We shifted store reps to home based jobs) now we should win the Razzie award for worst response to get the stores back up to speed.
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.
Anyone think Verizon is looking to sell?
With everything coming down the pipe in all the departments. Staffing cuts to insane lows, additional work load, department consolidations, and additional spending cuts. Anyone feel that Verizon is positioning the company to sell? The current... — read more
Pay increase needed
Is Verizon going to do anything about increasing pay? With the yearly pay increases of 2 to 3%, we're losing purchasing power each year. Also, who wants to bet that "corporate" and "network" gets another 100%+ STI while all other workers get less... — read more
Network Assurance head count cut target
A couple of frustrated managers have been sharing with their direct reports that the directors have been given the number of people they have to RIF from their teams. It is a small number, from a large pool of people, but the choice is theirs and... — read more
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
Could we get some more fake tears please
I would like to see our fearless leader address the troops and show his genuine concern for mandating the vaccine. How the V-Team is so genuinely concerned about its employees health that it had to be done. Not the fear of Brandon and loss of... — read more
Will Verizon get it right?
There are a lot of negative comments from people about VZW and 5G.
Covid-19 shot
Ha. Verizon is trying to force us to get the vaccine. It's big time illegal. Let the lawsuits begin
Mandate
Well it’s what some of us were waiting for! Information on the mandate. Looks like wireless has time to get their religious/medical exemptions in! Stand strong
Vaccine mandated
Verizon now mandating the vaccine

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?
I don’t feel bad because I'm failing to keep up with metrics
I don’t know how others succeed, but I'm failing at keeping up with metrics. I used to feel bad about it, but now I don't feel so bad at all because I know the problem is not in me. Moreover, I am convinced that these metrics are even more... — read more
What is the highest commission check you have made since team commish started ? ( reps only )
The highest one we made was 1500 but most are 800-1100. Since team commission we have also only made quota ( new lines and sales dollars ) 3 times. Virtually everything we do sales wise never contributes to our commission checks. I’ve told this to... — read more
Wait upgrade deactivations go against our new line quota ? WTF
I was looking at last months commission numbers and found an anomaly. As a store we had 14 deacts. I researched and found that 4 of the deacts were upgrades. So we don’t get paid on upgrades but if they deact they go against out new line quota.? What... — read more
PLEASE! Make it make SENSE.
Are any other stores being forced to do cold calls daily? They want our store to do like 400 calls to people that DONT EVEN LIVE IN OUR STATE 😂 AND that’s being tracked through salesforce. We’re already running below staff and they want us to come... — read more
Numbers and Metrics
These so called metrics and numbers are worse than ever, we track everything!! Why the F are we tracking how many customers are 30 month payments? Thats as bad as touchless Can a DM come on here and explain why there are so many metrics?
Will they even be able to make cuts?
If it turns out that there is truth in rumors about cutting a lot of people, then it will be the final nail in the coffin of this company. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t do a double or triple workload because we’re chronically understaffed. I can’t... — read more
Anyone else hear this rumor?
Rumor has it that Verizon has set a goal to cut its work force from 130,000 employees to 100,000. I have heard this from managers and peers. Can anyone confirm it?

Careful if you go the extra mile!

Get the jab or else

So yeah...about that recent up to speed. Customers think a 1 hour wait time is bad. Just wait until everyone that doesn't want the jab doesn't show up all at once. How many of these young new hires are actually going to stick around? Yea ok.
Is this happening to you too?
So our manager told us that all the new Iphones were reserved for new lines only. We tell existing customers the phone must be ordered online because we are out of stock. Meanwhile there are phones on the shelf... I don't feel comfortable doing... — read more

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.
One add per upgrade...
Recently we have heard the words, 'we want one add per upgrade'. Despite the impossibility of this ever even being able to happen. We have heard the top 4 and had it drilled into our heads. This has lead to Verizon pushing away current existing... — read more
