Talk About Integrity LMAO? Verizon thinks we are all sheep
Telling us ATT and TMO had an outage today. Complete sack of lies. I wonder how many customers ported out today LOL
VERIZON WIRELESS
BAD T1 WIRE WRAP aka SHINER. ENTIRE NETWORK DOWN. KEVIN WILL FIXIT!
From Layoffs to Outage
Massive outage likely resulted from layoffs. Same thing happened with AT&T.
The (Real) current state of the U.S. economy. Layoffs in 2026 will continue to Increase.

Again Layoffs contractors with Infosys any idea
I heard budget cuts are going on and layed off few subcons who are with Infosys. Seems like Verizon is not happy with this infosys as they don’t perform good with their employees and not giving option to sub contracts. Any ideas is infosys contracts... — read more
Sales are way down
Sales at my location have been incredibly slow lately. I mean, we've had slowdowns before, but this is on a whole new level. Are others dealing with the same thing or is this an us problem?
COBRA during severance period, you must sign up for the $0 coverage, its not automatic.
Apparently we still need to "sign up" for the Verizon paid COBRA insurance during our severance period. Medical, Dental, and Vision for you and dependents are $0. There are additional charges for things like extra life insurance, which you can... — read more
Q1 Layoffs
Yes there will be another round end of Q1. First round was timed perfectly before the end of the year. That being said, to balance the sheets, more cuts had to occur at the beginning of the year for faster turnaround times for revenue increasing... — read more
Rehiring rif’d positions already…
So 13,000+ people were fired in December and in January those very roles are now open roles?! Talk about a slap in the face! V2B is hiring AD’s and supervisors and reps but got rid of them for the holidays. Bait & Switch at its finest.
December Retail Commissions
With the target being so high did anyone make a decent check?
Verizon Under Investigation for DEI
Company's biggest downfall was implementing DEI in hiring/promotion. This is what happens when you hire/promote incompetent people just because they are a particular race/ethnicity as opposed to hiring/promoting someone of their merit. Verizon will... — read more

Commissions team...
Hi team, are we allowed to make money again yet? Maybe a chance at multiplying? Or, are we just going to be low balled all year by an extremely high target? Asking for a friend.
Presidents Cabinets, do I have a chance?
Vteamer here in the West area, I am currently ranked enterprise top 30 but I do not qualify as my VZ Protect rate is not at 55% heading into December it is at 52% Can I still get it? Or is the percentage game too hard to obtain?
5G does it help?

Still blame Hans and want change?
ppl on this board have been consistently blaming Hans for years. Now what? This new CEO will do RIF after RIF. No more VSP, just R-fu--ing-IF. Verizon won't be turned around, for sure. Now what? Blame the new CEO again? Next round: 1 week for 1... — read more

Security in the Houston area
For those that don’t know, the Verizon stores in the houston area have had armed security in their stores for the last 10+ years. Today we were told that beginning 01/01/2026, the following stores (Cinco Ranch, Aliana, Fulshear) will no longer need... — read more
Do better South Carolina Verizon!
So my store was safe from those agent weirdos or whatever and that made me happy BUT Just found out we’re getting passed to another DM. That’s literally the fifth one in six months. Is this place actually a joke?? And of course, it’s her. She’s... — read more
T-Mobile CEO
Per a friend who works there , the CEO shared this week at an employee all hands that T-Mobile employees can expect a big layoff in Q1. No number given but rumor is that it will be a 30% reduction. If you are looking for something new, maybe avoid... — read more

Severance and login
Well kinda ironic I signed my severance package and since then I am having log in issues and can't get past the VPN. Im in a no fault state and with everything going on. Nothing surprises me anymore.
Are more store closings really coming?
It wouldn’t be surprising. Someone mentioned another 300 shutting down next year, and I wouldn’t be shocked if the final number ends up even higher. What’s really stopping them from shutting everything down and switching fully to the non-corp model?... — read more
All Employee Webcast
Is Dan's way of saying "We don't need you anymore." Outsourced and Ai is doing the work, while we all meet.
Management Communication
Why is our manager doing one on ones to tell us, if we dont hit the full quota this month, we may not have jobs next month? Something seems fishy.
December quota
Hahahahahahahaha. Don't forget chargebacks also! Merry Christmas!
More stores going away
Heard over 300 more stores will be sold off to agents in the coming year. Polish your resume and get out while you can. They'll either pip you out with these high quotas or you'll be working for an agent.
The workload is already doubling and our peers are STILL on payroll
Can’t even imagine what this job will be like come next month. So far the stress and workload has doubled as well as the quotas and that’s with our laid off coworkers still here
Severance

35% higher quota than last year
I thought this guy Dan was about customer and employee first experience. Looks like my experience so far is sh-t. Makes me miss Hans
IA for those let go?
This month will there be IA for the 13,000 working through it ? Heard mixed messages
Investigations are a must!!
Someone needs to investigate Verizon and it's executives. There's no way they aren't hiding things that would get them thrown in prison. Stock manipulation, earnings manipulation, growth manipulation, taking bonuses while laying off employees... — read more
