I worked hard and got nothing in return except stress. Since I started working less, other than having less stress, I seem to be more valued as well. Unbelievable. The lazier a person is, the better he's off at Verizon.

Someone who hasn’t worked here before, would never believe this company was great. I used to be proud to work here. How they managed to degrade it this much is amazing and it could certainly be a case study. Could it have been any different?

Coming soon.

I2B will be eliminated by end of Q1 ‘22, starting with the current “temporary reassignment” to R2B. I advise anyone in role get out as it’s not profitable for the VBG.

Do they think that when someone leaves an already understaffed store, they don't need to be replaced at all? I’d just like to know what’s going on, whether they have no intention of making a replacement or can’t actually find anyone to work here. It... — read more
