Topics regarding layoffs at Verizon Wireless

Employee Appreciation Week

It really shows how bad things are with the company and how little they care about employees to not do anything for the week that is “about us”. All we got was daily useless emails. Did anyone actually get anything?

Layoff call

We were asked at the last min. To join a sync up call. It was of course a call about the company wide RIFs. Director looked stressed to the max like he had a stroke and the managers performance on the call could only be described as embarrassing... — read more 

Question

Were all of you keyboard warrior bullies mean before you worked at Verizon? Or did the job steal your soul and make you think you have the AUDACITY? Seems like this forum could be a little more supportive…

Decrease in pay

I'm pretty new here. I am satisfied with pay, considering my previous experience, I can't even ask for anything higher. It would not be realistic. However, I am interested in what someone mentioned that there has been a decrease in pay here from year... — read more 

Layoffs 10/28

Hearing from co-workers news will be out tomorrow. Has anyone else heard this?

I'm done doing your work

Funny how if you work hard you are guaranteed to be taken advantage of. Managers will expect you to help everybody else who find some of their tasks too difficult when in reality they are just lazy. Well, I'm done. I've suddenly developed an... — read more 

Everyday issues at work

It is amazing to me how this company has no sensibility to provide employees with conditions so that they can do their job properly. Someone mentioned that every day they have to deal with several iphones that won't activate because this company... — read more 

4th QTR ESS Survey

The 4th QTR ESS Survey is out. So many of my peers share that they are afraid to be honest on these surveys. If you don't think Verizon is a great place to work, stop saying that it is. Use the Comment box to provide examples of the things you... — read more 

Union negotiations

If the union actually stands against the mandate, you would have droves of stores signing up. Wouldn't this be in their best interest? Well see Oct. 25th with the negotiations.

I think they lost control of this

I still haven't given notice but I plan to leave very soon. A lot of colleagues have already left. Somehow it seems to me that mass exodus didn’t bother them at first. Moreover, I think it worked in their favor. However, now it seems to me... — read more 

Verizon is stupid

I have been reading so many posts by the Verizon sales people. It sounds like you have the worst job on the planet. You lose money for bad customer surveys and have to cold call customers to sell them a phone when you got customers in que at the... — read more 

Religious Exemptions

I encourage everyone to read up on this subject. The main theme running through the whole process is that it's up to the employer to determine the following: Do they recognize your religion as valid. Is the head of you religion for or... — read more 

Productivity calls

90 minute wait times and we are asked to make calls while customers stand around the store in our que. Nothing like calling customers from another part of the country to find out why they abandoned their cart order. As the customers signed into our... — read more 

Don't Go To Work Black Friday!

Let's make this a movement, Black Friday everyone stay home enjoy your family and let them worry about their sales.... Either way WE ARE NOT GOING TO MEET THE SALES Q AND THAT BONUS CHECK WILL ONLY BE $1200 IF NO BAD SURVEYS DON'T GO TO WORK ON... — read more 

Side gigs

Almost all my colleagues have something on the side. I think a lot of employees have side jobs, (only they don't use their company computer for side jobs). What will never be clear to me is why do employers feel so threatened by side gigs?... — read more 

Vz playing games

Of course the retail vax mandate isn’t going into effect until after the holiday season. Verizon can’t afford a massive push back and refusal from employees when they can barely staff stores as is. Its obvious the end goal is work us to death during... — read more 

Stand Together or Double Your Work

Regardless of how you feel about the vax, everyone needs to take a stand together on this topic. If the unvaxed are placed on unpaid leave or terminated, the vaxed will have to pick up the extra workload. Do you think they will actually give you a... — read more 

Is this the most depressing pre-holiday time?

I remember many holiday seasons in this company, but it seems to me that this year's pre-holiday season is the gloomiest. It seems even less optimistic than last year? I plan to give notice soon.

Verizon Vax Mandates

Anyone have any insight as to what the “accommodations” would be for religious or medical exemption? I suspect that it will be WFH customer service.. will they decrease pay if that’s the case? Does indirect have to get the Jab?!

Door Greeters & New Hires

Our door greeter makes around $20-$23/hour. He’s awesome btw. Doesn’t let ANY bs into the store unless it’s a new line or someone trying to spend $$ But some of our reps that have been working for Verizon for a couple years are a little salty... — read more 

Mass Exodus?

I know at least a few people if not more are quitting soon at hour store due to hours, team commission, rude customers all day etc. Anyone else seeing this? If this happens everywhere it is really going to hurt Verizon right before holiday season

Hold Sr. Managers accountable.

Did you know that Network Assurance Sr. Managers with bonus average about $150.00.00 per year. If your manager is a lazy uninvolved work from home, no technical expertise individual, the time has come to make them pull their weight. Living on... — read more

More stores going union!

Just got off a panic call. 6 Texas locations and 5 North Carolina locations will be unionized starting next month!! Upper management is panicking over this. How many more stores will go union??!?! They are apparently spilling the beans in writing... — read more 

Work from Homers with side jobs.

Work at home employees are being tracked. If you have been doing a side job and double dipping, the powers to be are probably already aware. It's that time of year again and you will not receive a RIF package. Why would they start looking at you?... — read more 

Pivot Award

Verizon and Hans won the pivot award for best covid response... (We shifted store reps to home based jobs) now we should win the Razzie award for worst response to get the stores back up to speed.

They Won't fire you stand strong

They have been very careful with their language. Your job MAY be in jeopardy or your job COULD be in jeopardy. Verizon has not and will not say they WILL TERMINATE you. I wonder why that is? Let's see it in black and white Verizon.

Anyone think Verizon is looking to sell?

With everything coming down the pipe in all the departments. Staffing cuts to insane lows, additional work load, department consolidations, and additional spending cuts. Anyone feel that Verizon is positioning the company to sell? The current... — read more 

Pay increase needed

Is Verizon going to do anything about increasing pay? With the yearly pay increases of 2 to 3%, we're losing purchasing power each year. Also, who wants to bet that "corporate" and "network" gets another 100%+ STI while all other workers get less... — read more 

Network Assurance head count cut target

A couple of frustrated managers have been sharing with their direct reports that the directors have been given the number of people they have to RIF from their teams. It is a small number, from a large pool of people, but the choice is theirs and... — read more 

Retail vaccination after the selling season

I love how retail doesn’t have to provide vaccination until after the largest most profitable selling season, all under the guise of “potential osha rules”. How stupid do they think we are, or better yet, how stupid are we? Let’s bust our as--s... — read more 

Could we get some more fake tears please

I would like to see our fearless leader address the troops and show his genuine concern for mandating the vaccine. How the V-Team is so genuinely concerned about its employees health that it had to be done. Not the fear of Brandon and loss of... — read more
