Another pointless position created just a couple years ago to waste company money. Back to basics?

@564 who do you classify as VAS senior leadership? They’ve restructured. No one in senior leadership is over VAs or at least cares
Try getting an email response from VAS senior leadership, it’s near impossible! You have to email the people below them; get the message to the sales managers to get the message to their leadership team- terrible. My department absolutely hates working with them. It sounds like VAS senior leadership is being paid to do nothing.
Get rid of all the wasteful positions including all the delta friends, then we could have more operations to run the operation.
The company is suffering at the cost of comfort and maintaining friendships.
@23v yeah more than the boots on the ground sales managers. The ones sitting on their a-s at home and away from the actual operation are useless and a waste of company money.
The vas directors disrespect the local vas managers as is, then they add a layer called senior market sales managers to add insult to injury and tear the local vas managers down.
Bad management and these people come into work day in and day out just cut down.
The company wants more from them with their little salary. It’s a terrible job. Unsure why anyone would continue to do it.
Cut your losses! It was a bad decision! Get rid of the position. Move on!
The entire department operates behind a mask of forced positivity. I’ve seen the reality. I’ve sat on the calls. And the truth is, the local MSMs are placed in an impossible position—expected to be available virtually 24/7 with no work-life balance, while earning the same compensation as low-performing agents.
The “Senior MSM” layer doesn’t function as leadership. It functions as surveillance. Local MSMs are constantly questioned, second-guessed, and micromanaged as if they’re under investigation rather than trusted professionals.
It’s disturbing to watch a company create an environment that breaks people down psychologically while publicly promoting a “people first” message. Investors who support organizations that operate this way should reflect on what their capital is enabling. You are just as guilty and shame on you.
People often ask why these MSMs don’t just leave. But constant criticism and psychological pressure can strip away confidence over time. When people are repeatedly made to feel small, walking away becomes much harder than outsiders realize.
@23v yeah ok. Maybe the actual ones who are at the locations. I’ve seen their pitiful incentive checks. That of a super bad 1% agent. Unsure why they even do that job.
It’s the senior ones that are a waste of company money and time
Gold Squad dogs get paid more than all of them put together
They schedule useless calls to appear “relevant”
Ok who’s excited to listen to their rarara this week?
I can’t wait to watch them pretend to be valuable to the company with their useless opinions.
@15e is there only 3 of them? I thought they had a large team.
@182 nobody wants to work in the VAS department lol
@182 I think people are fed up with the constant idea of saving money and push to cut corners, then we all have to stop what we’re doing to listen to some ill equipped opinionated id--ts advise us from their couch while their kids and animals pop on screen and everyone is suppose to say how cute it is.
Meanwhile, we’re told my our bosses to limit overtime and we cannot get more ops managers. Another example of this company wasting company money. Keep breaking your back to bring in money to pay these clowns salary. Don’t forget—-smile!
I think the person who keeps bringing this position up is someone who applied and didn't get the position. Common tone in each post.
You guys are funny! Spending time complaining about THREE people in the company that don’t make anywhere near six figures. Paid about the same as a senior ops manager at the AP 😂 hertz salary conspiracies are wild. It’s not like these positions are filled by Delta employees or FOGs. That’s where the six figure salaries are.
@dc it’s not a VAS position, it’s a secretary to VAS directors. From what I can see anyway. They show up to calls with backgrounds and usually their children and/or pets disrupt the background and pop up on screen and they just smile sheepishly about it because they know what BS it is to sit well rested and all comfy from their couch telling us what we should or shouldn’t be doing in our operations. Not one of them would last a day in operations. GET RID OF THEM- ZERO VALUE!
Fake smiles, minimal hours, and working from home during the little time they bother to show up. They try to micromanage operators from afar, but we just laugh and carry on. From our seats, we see where the real VAS grit lives, the faces of the sales managers we see daily in the operation doing the ACTUAL work every day. The rest of it? Senior-level BS, if you ask me.
Yo I’m jelly. How does one get paid to hang out with their kid at home and login to give their input via teams for 6 figures!?! Are these people highly educated? Sounds like a VP consultant position! Ad none approves of this?
Stupid company decision after stupid company decision. How much are these people paid? How many are there?
$500,000? $800,000? lol WASTE OF MONEY!
“Rararara!” lol
The most concerning part is that the company pays these roles well over six figures for positions that didn’t even exist a few years ago.
They are supposedly designed to support locations, yet their presence often results in operations being paused for Teams calls from their couch, focused on criticism rather than leadership or problem-solving.
Instead of empowering teams, the process frequently disrupts operations and demoralizes staff. In hindsight, creating this role seems to have been a questionable strategic decision.
These senior sales manager positions, need to be eliminated. We need more operations managers. Quit wasting company money. “Rararara!” lol
@w5 send in screen shots on teams of rental agreements with “big” sales. RaRaRa, lol
Their job is to sit at home and micromanage via teams
@h5 so….its accurate to say this along with many other positions within the organization are not bringing value to the company.
Which executive even audits these ridiculous positions?
Sounds like a lot of bias and nepotism. Is this company immune to legal consequences?
@dc It's for VAS and quite honestly an additional layer to insulate the directors from doing anything. VAS team always seems to be changing the job titles as they laid one local VAS manager off and posted the position a month later under a new title.
Overpaid secretary for directors. Zero value
What are they supposed to do vs what they actually do?
Is this a VAS position?
