I’ve come to the conclusion the there may never be another retail layoff. Especially in East Texas. Most stores are understaffed. So just throw on that blue Jean shirt and fix the customer Facebook.
A smaller company that does not support mandates
Someone here said that it is easy to find a job in a company that those who do not want to be vaccinated could go to. My friend tried to find a job in one such company and yes, it is possible, but he failed to find an equivalent position and pay... — read more
BIG GUYS COMING INTO OUR STORE
We have all the “big people” in our district coming in to our store to talk about VZP Home and check the store out, coincidently before the holidays, and right after the vaccine mandate. Everything is still kind of secretive on why they are coming... — read more
Govt pressure
Craig comes on at noon to announce vz vaccine mandates today and then an hour later Biden gives a briefing announcing private sector mandates will begin soon. Coincidence? Nope. All planned. Christy knew this was coming and got out. Govt needs... — read more
What stops novaxer from claiming religious exemption?
It’s subjective judgement
Where has the optimism gone?
This company is not doing anything to keep the best people. None of the colleagues I talk to about it believe the situation will be any better next year. Is there really no more room for optimism in this company? No one seems to have high hopes... — read more

Watch for the CWA to roll over in 3-2-...
CWA has long been a tool of all Bell System Companies. They proved it at AT&T and now they will prove it again at Verizon.
You all said it wouldn't happen. Good luck!!!
Well well. Roll up your sleeves!!!! And your union slobs. Your next!!!!
Vaccine Requirement grass isn’t greener
This is an easy way for Vz to get rid off people. The grass isn’t greener nor is the pay and benefits anywhere else especially if you have a family. Think about that before you walk out the vz door because you didnt want to get vaccinated.
Mandatory vaccination required by Dec 8th
You will have to provide proof of vaccination by December 8th. If you are not interested in the vaccination you will be off payroll 45 days later.
Culture of incompetence
Of all that is happening in this company, the worst is the rise of mediocrity. No one who is competent can stand the situation here for a long time. I know a person who left here after only two months upon realizing that his competencies would... — read more

Managing career ups and downs
Few years ago I was very happy and content working here. My work was appreciated, the manager was a fair and rational person, the atmosphere was competitive but not toxic. Now, I don't have a manager who is fair and whom I can trust, I work more than... — read more
Slow day at work?
I hate slow days. Gradually there was less and less work, and these days I have almost nothing to do. As weird as it sounds, I was much happier when I was overwhelmed with work so I didn’t have time to think about how miserable it is to work in this... — read more
I have no intention of leaving before I am cut
So far, everything has been more or less in order, but now they have started to put pressure in all possible ways. Suddenly they do everything to make me think of myself as a bad employee after more than seven years of working here. Are they now... — read more
Who's ready for another great week at Verizon?!?!
Bullying, micromanagement, backstabbing coworkers, having to do other people's jobs, and all that for subpar pay! Can't wait!
Post-Thanksgiving retirement incentives
Despite the rumors, we all have been through this long enough to know that buyouts are always offered, usually last minute, and always off payroll by end of December. This year seems the number will be lower for craft offers, but we all know some... — read more
I was unnecessarily afraid
Now it is not clear to me what was I really afraid of. I hesitated for months to leave all this and then it turned out my fears were completely unfounded. As bad as I felt here and as much as I wanted to quit here, I constantly felt nervous about... — read more

Applying to many, many jobs
I sent out more job applications than I care to count. I applied for every job I could find. Unfortunately, what happens is that a lot of people apply for the same job. I'm getting worried I'll have to stay here for a long time because of that. Do... — read more

Stellantis working with VZ …..
Could result in a nice bump for the company stock price!! https://www.greencarcongress.com/2021/09/20210918-stellantis.html
It would be nice to start the new year in a new company.
I don’t have any information but it wouldn’t surprise me at all if there were a lot of RIFs just before the end of the year. This is the first time I would love to be a target of holiday RIF. I don't have a plan, I don't have a lot of savings, but... — read more
New Year’s Day is on a Saturday
New Year’s Day 2022 is not listed as a 2021 holiday. The CWA contract makes no mention of holidays that fall on Saturday. For those who work Monday through Friday, Will 12/31/21 be a paid day off? Logic days of course. But logic seems to have... — read more
Do vzw employees working at home get company use devices?
Aka, ‘the electronic leash,’ basically I am browsing jobs to maybe apply for and it sayd they provide equipment and a phone. Is it a landline or a cell phone they control that they use to harass the cr-p out of you, or do you use your personal? — read more

How does anything get done with so much bureaucracy here?
Disadvantages of Bureaucracy Red tape: Bureaucracy, by its very character, follows a certain set of rules and regulations. This imparts a lack of flexibility and can often lead to inefficiency. Bureaucratic delays: The complicated set of... — read more

Vax mandate
Good I work by myself all day fixing things for vz. I don’t work with over 100 people under the same roof. NO VAX for the outside techs.
The moderator is sensitive
Why so sensitive?

Why do many say that most managers here are useless?
Good number of managers here don’t manage anything, it's a very common phenomenon here. I'm sick of their big talk because they don't add much value, they think they are smarter than everyone else, they think they are the only ones creative... — read more
