This seems like another culling of the highest earners by Verizon. The highest earners who also usually happen to be the oldest employees who will hopefully one of these days wisen up and sue the company jointly. if this is true, verizon is up to its... — read more 

How many?

Any ideas how many have been laid off from IT today, company wide? Is this the major layoff that was supposed to happen last week but never materialized? Or is this completely unrelated?

Is it only IT?

From what I'm seeing, it's only IT that's being hit. Does that mean this layoff is IT focused and the rest of us are safe? (Not trying to minimize what's happening in IT across the company, I truly am sorry for everybody losing their jobs, I'm just... — read more 

Good Luck Tomorrow

I hope no one gets laid off. But if you do, try to remember there's other options out there. Employees still should have six weeks of employment before the layoff is official. And hopefully severance pay. Unfortunately, I don't think that applies to... — read more 

Commission Changes

Anyone who has been with the company long enough knows when they change the comp plan we sell more to make to less that is a fact. Managers get pissed because if we make less so do they. Anyone in the trails have any idea on what it will be.

Staffing

Absolutely no backfill for ANY position in retail. GMs leaving and SMs placed a acting. SS leaving abc managers deal with it plus key holders. More and more work for less and less and less..::

Why is Verizon on here twice?

I get it that the other one is "wireless" but what for? One is more than enough... We are only playing into their corrupt loophole in monopoly laws... mama mia!

Don’t hate what you don’t understand

I once hated the union because I didn’t understand what the union could do for ME. I drank the company juice and nodded when they said that the union wouldn’t do anything for me. Don’t let anyone fool you and think that they can lower quota and... — read more 

Average age of customers

What is the average age of customers that walk into your store every day? I've seen people complain that most of the people who walk through their doors are older, but that's not the case with us (but that could be our location.) I was just wondering... — read more

Mandatory HR meeting

All GMs have been told of a mandatory meeting with HR on 5/30. What will be discussed? Layoffs? Store hour cuts? Store closures? Union awareness? New commissions? GM layoffs?

VZ market

Verizon Down 1.7% Since Earnings Report about a month ago. Can it rebound? or, stick a fork in it?

No layoffs coming June 1st but changes coming to many stores. Many stores will see their hours reduced and some will not open up on Sundays. Many stores will go to part time employees only besides management and this will save benefit costs. Finally... — read more

why the low foot traffic in our stores?

im guessing our competition, our lack of promos and maybe the political angst going around in our country. our marketing s---s too. it is lameinstead of aggressive. we need more gimmicks and bs like tmo. thoughts?

Too much BS

There is way too much BS on this site. Most of the posts are wireless people who should be on the wireless site, but for some reason, they want to post on the wireline site. Then we have to listen about hums, old people, GM’s, DM’s, commissions, etc... — read more

NPS bonus coming back

I work in NJ HQ and over heard talks about bringing back the NPS bonus. The surveys will stay the same, unfair to the rep and confusing to the customer. It is thoughtfully designed to scapegoat the representative 100% of those detractors are meant... — read more
