Was told by mgr today that reps not hitting 100% quota will be written up, so that means about 75% of my district. Our quotas here in the south are unattainable. Thanks Verizon...so now I'm making no money and getting written up. Just another Verizon morale booster. Time to leave this dump.

In our store in PA everyone had to sign a memo of concern due to not hitting quota. After 4 months you are gone. They basically doubled our quota in the beginning of the year from 27 last year to 44 in january 47 in feb and 50 in march. At this rate no one will work in this store.
3 people at my store are looking to talk with the union, 2 think they are being targeted because of there age, managers are riding everyone pretty hard, nobody at our store is near quota.
I can tell you he is probably right , managers at my store are lucky if they come close target. I make more hourly and in commission than both my sm's.
I don't think so.Unless they let you keep the upfront Managers salary.If you voluntarily stepped down your salary was demoted also. If the company closed your location or had no positions open then you kept your Managers salary.
I make more than a general manager makes As a solutions specialist. Just hitting quota means you need to look for another job sales is not your field
I was a solutions manager stepped down to take solutions specialist job for more money. I’m on pace to gross 85,000 this year
Forget all these negative posts. Instead, talk to your union steward, for what you are going through is ridiculous honestly. Good luck.
Door won't hit me, I'm leaving real fast, you are either a manager or you don't work in a store, if you did you'd be seeing all this same stuff happening, so STFU bootlicker!
IF you do not like it, do not let the door hit ya on the way out.
Who's writing up Store Management? I never hear of it!
They are actively trying to get rid of reps in my district. Even if you pass scorecard they can still write you out for one metric. It's a crazy work environment. Morale is low and everyone is looking for new jobs. Good Job Verizon Hums all day!
Happening here to, everyone is talking union, might be only way to get back at the people steering us toward the iceberg.
I think if you post on the WIRELESS side you will get much more sympathy!
And next time,. Get in the UNION!
I'm in Cali and I can say it's the same here, money is gone and we are purging people, stores are short staffed and we can't find people to hire. If we do hire someone they quit in a couple months once they figure out that they aren't going to make what they were told they were going to make. I made almost $9000 less last year than 2016, yet I sold far more year over year and I'm doing 3 people's jobs now that we've laid half our staff off, and piss on all the micromanaging.I'm moving on as soon as I find something better, which at this point should be pretty easy.
Yea, same in our area, company is out of touch as to what's happening in the stores. We don't have enough traffic for reps to think of hitting our jacked up quotas. We've all pretty much given up, I have to sell 131 boxes to just hit quota, we're lucky to have 30 people a day in our store,and 90% of that is crap, my iPhone blows, why can't I get a battery here, customer care said you could transfer all my stuff, can you put this screen protector on that I bought on Amazon for $3.00 since Verizon charges 40.00......blahh blah blah...but hey Hums will save the free world.
Again, most store management don't have the creativity or leadership to help affect your quota. They have done nothing for so long that they can only delegate. Regarding, your performance it's rated on your behaviors,so show a hum or tablet, jet pack during every sale, they can't coach you out because you're demonstrating the correct sales behavior they're looking for. I doubt that most of your Management team know this. So if you can't close a hum etc tell them every customer you touch get a demo and your showing the behaviors that they can gauge.
