Verizon is going to lay you off eventually. Why not stick it to them one last time before we are gone.

3,500 layoffs confirmed all wireless side this time.

I fully expect, at some point for the ISS position to be fazed out as the reps in stores continue to become more comfortable with SMB. Then you have reps selling in stores and BAM’s for the outside. Just not sure if the 17th is a realistic time for... — read more

The 17th is shaping up to be a stacked event

If you don't get whacked, keep working. If you do get whacked, take the package and get another job. Don't sweat the small stuff, the world will keep spinning whichever occurs.

This just in, I have CONFIRMED that NONE of this crap can be confirmed. We can all hope some of this happens, but let's stop the lying.

Keep seeing people say that stores are being converted into indirect. Can somebody please explain what does this mean? I don't work in a store (obviously), just curious to figure out what's going on. Oh, and I've tried searching, before somebody... — read more

why can't a gm cover more than 1 store? They can. Take care! Also, Commissions can change whenever; there are no rules.

The trolls have been out of control the last week, it might just be one sick person. I don’t know anything special, I’m just a lowly solutions specialist, but I can guarantee you that they will not be laying off GMs or switching to team commission or... — read more 

I keep reading that on 5/17 all store GM's are gone or 1/3rd of store GM's are gone, etc... etc... Anyone care to take an educated guess at the number of jobs Verizon will shed in this latest go round? Maybe 3000?

post here when you first heard about the GM layoffs internally and what region youre in.

Stores without GMs will not be backfilled. 1 in 3 GMs will be laid off so roughly 33 percent of GMs but NOT all.

I will keep this short. Just leanrned that many GM’s will be let go May the 17th. Sources, can’t give you any details other than this. Don’t believe me, don’t care. Hope this helps some people.

The rumor is that everyone is going next gen or getting turned to indirect within the next few years. Where does this leave all of these new, expensive smart stores that we just built? Will they be last to go because of the investment or first... — read more

They’re just limiting the exposure for Hum. Somebody needs to email Mcadam and tell him to stop the bleeding for the sake of the Hum

I have seen the road map for retail and its bold and shocking.

no ryhme or reason I should have seen all the signs long ago.

I was told the finance department couldnt justify the SMB in store role any longer and are wanting to cross train the sales reps to perform those task.

Anyone getting questions about hours spent on various projects in the past month? Manager been asking team and timing seems strange with 17th rumors.

Major layoffs are coming... you have been warned!!!

Just to be sure: are May 17 layoffs we keep hearing of here only supposed to hit Verizon Wireless or should we all be worried?
