Covid Policy

Hi V-Teamers…what is the current time off policy for work from home employees who test positive for Covid? Is Covid leave still a thing if not feeling well and have a positive test result?

Verizon

Why do people even complain about working here? The previous question is not something you need to answer; just something to think about. This is a very good company compared to the rest of the world's corporate. It's very difficult to find something... — read more 

BGCO Layoffs

I'm in b2b and was told to expect longer wait times for all tickets, requests sent in via email, and phone hold times. Reason was that after we combined the coe and bgco, we laid off a bunch of them. True?

Why so much surplus?

I’m in CSSC- is anyone else wondering where all the calls are and why we’re getting so much surplus? At first, it was offered from 5-7- hardly anyone getting it. And then gradually more time granted to more people; including low seniority reps in the... — read more 

We used to have 25 reps. Now we have 6

It’s amazing how much retail has changed in the last few years. Now, if we have someone call in sick we are screwed. Most days we have 4 reps on the floor, and our queues grow to one hour or more on the regular. Considering our pay is team based and... — read more 

What does it take for some people to quit?

I've seen employees mistreated so badly and they keep putting up with it. No amount of poor working conditions, unrealistic expectations, horrible treatment by managers, and whatever else is enough to get them to walk away. Verizon does not pay... — read more 

TMO data breach, no impact?

I don't get it. Several outlets reported that TMO suffered a massive data breach impacting 100 million customers, yet their stock was only off 3%. What do you think would happen to VZ or Apple or any other tech company if that happened to... — read more 

If Covid-19 is on a surge upwards

Why would the company think its BAU and why would the union agree ,are they going wait until their employees and members start to get sick and god forbid die.where is the leadership on both sides.

If you get a chance, leave

I quit a few months ago and I'm finally starting to recover from the damage Verizon inflicted on me. I was constantly belittled by my manager and talked down to like I am a kid and not somebody who knew my job ten times better than he did. I tried to... — read more 

Ex worker

I worked for the company for 16 years. Since 2015 the company has really gone down hill as an employee. I made it through countless rounds of layoffs. I worked with some of the most intelligent wonderful people that are all gone now. 2018 they cut... — read more 

Overworked doesn't even begin to cover it

The amount of work they expect us to do is unrealistic. Every time somebody leaves we end up picking up their work. These days when I get home, all I can do is hit the bed right away. All my energy is spent at work, there's nothing left in me for... — read more 

Starting off a couple dollars over minimum wage

Just talked to a couple new hires and they are only getting paid a couple dollars over minimum wage. Why would anyone want to do this, work part time and get a commission check that’s less than a thousand dollars. This has become a clerk job for... — read more 

Why is everybody so worried?

Are you not following what's been going on? Do you really think they're going to approve RTO at this point? I think we're safe for a good six months to a year before they even consider it again. So many companies have already backtracked on their RTO... — read more

Is it the union or company pushing this..I think more of the outside forces will be getting sick with the new covid surge

Pa surplus

Is there a pa surplus list. I can only find NY, NJ ,VA and MA.

COVID

So there is a 1000 new COVID-19 cases in Virginia. It’s only getting worse and everywhere else. I wonder what Verizon will do. People don’t want to be vaccinated. Can Verizon force a vaccine mandate on its employees? If so will it even matter because... — read more 

Confusing

I’m so confused at this point. I work in CSSC . Suddenly all the calls just stopped. Nobody has an answer at all. Union is no help. All overtime has stopped. No calls but the quota is the same. 25 calls to 10 per day. Verizon says the calls are not... — read more 

Delta Variant

The delta variant is spreading so get back to the gararge, remember vz cares about you

Are you ready to return to the office?

There isn't much time left. I know a lot of people who started looking for a new job when it was confirmed that working from home is not a permanent option here. I don't care after all, but I think for most it will be a real shock after being spared... — read more 

Salary plus positions

Is this sh-t even legal??? How is verizon getting away with paying managers half their hourly pay for every hour over 40 they are working? That sh-t is extortion, if youre going to break the pay as hourly lay then they should be fair and pay over... — read more
