The Fugazi Factor

This is the same story...
This is the same story I have watched as an employee for 15 years at GTE and Verizon from the inside and 5 years from the outside. From the landline side, they pushed good people out because of philosophical differences and compensation and kept the... — read more
Wage Theft
Call it what it is. The ever-increasing targets and lower payouts. My boss tells me the other day, “We have to work on being more positive about things we can’t change. Sure, but will positivity pays my rent, my car insurance, and phone bill? Will... — read more

Put yourself first
I worked as a– for 3 years and was so stressed everyday from management I literally couldn’t eat or sleep. I made the choice to leave Verizon for another sales position. I’m making about $30k less a year but I’ve never been happier. I’m begging all... — read more

Any upcoming changes to Verizon Indirect?
Any upcoming changes to Verizon Indirect?
Verizon takes commission from reps in "adjustment"
How much did everyone lose in the "adjustment?" A union would have never let that happen. Time to organize is right.
Why Aren’t We Organizing?
Why aren’t we organizing strikes? Why aren’t we holding Verizon accountable for their worker’s rights abuses? Regardless of whether or not you’re pro- or anti-union, a strike is an effective means to express our discontent. It garners media... — read more

Wilmington is a ghost town
Our center hasn’t had a new hire in almost a year and the second floor is 2/3 empty. The 3rd floor is 3/4 full. Do you all think Wilmington is closing? Lease is through 2024 but it feels strange like they are keeping something a secret?
Hans the hatchet man
Hans destroyed Ericsson and now he’s here to do the same . Verizon 2.0 is an abject failure and it’s deliberately trying to make sales reps quit to get that head count down without Separation packages .. don’t be fooled stay the course my friends ... — read more
Hans...
So based on the Pulse survey “scores of 70% or higher are considered an organizational strength”. When does that translate to every other aspect of the business? Lol, or did it just fit your bogus narrative? 2.0 smh
You can't be written up if you are meeting your PA goals
