Anyone hear about a uniform 10-7 M to Sat and either closed on Sundays or 12 to 6 on Sundays?

Any upcoming changes to Verizon Indirect?

How much did everyone lose in the "adjustment?" A union would have never let that happen. Time to organize is right.

Why aren’t we organizing strikes? Why aren’t we holding Verizon accountable for their worker’s rights abuses? Regardless of whether or not you’re pro- or anti-union, a strike is an effective means to express our discontent. It garners media... —  read more

Our center hasn’t had a new hire in almost a year and the second floor is 2/3 empty. The 3rd floor is 3/4 full. Do you all think Wilmington is closing? Lease is through 2024 but it feels strange like they are keeping something a secret?

Hans destroyed Ericsson and now he’s here to do the same . Verizon 2.0 is an abject failure and it’s deliberately trying to make sales reps quit to get that head count down without Separation packages .. don’t be fooled stay the course my friends ... —  read more 

So based on the Pulse survey “scores of 70% or higher are considered an organizational strength”. When does that translate to every other aspect of the business? Lol, or did it just fit your bogus narrative? 2.0 smh

Despite what some managers think, they can not write you up if you are meeting your PA goals. I have been with the company for a very longtime and have seen some managers invent their "own" goals that are either not on the PA or try to write reps up... —  read more 

5G home is a waste of money that could be better spent on acquisitions or new fiber to the home builds. Maybe a streaming service?

Call center manager seems to think that they can set their own PA goals well above the PA Target set by the company. If people are not meeting this managers goals (way above what is required for the PAt) this manager believes they can write reps up!... —  read more

Now that the massive layoff with severance has passed, can’t help but wonder if and when the corporate grim reaper will come around again. Anyone hear anything?

So this new Verizon is about employee empowerment and is based upon everyone aligning and employee morale. So then why is Hans our CEO? If you google him he has a track record of being the grim reaper. All he does is downsize and cold heartedly... —  read more

Verizon is now allowing eligible indirect locations to process in store pickups! And if the cust wants to return the device they must go to a Corp store to process the return! Even the indirect store it was picked up at cannot process the return.
