Its the same company! 90% of what is on here is from the wireless side anyway jackass.

Can anyone shed some light on when the remaining wireless call centers are going to close? I believe there are 7 left. Rolling Meadows, Alpharetta, Charlotte, Murfreesboro, Tampa and not sure of the the other two left. Wilmington? Charleston? Any... — read more

I know somebody said more layoffs are coming, but do we know anything about stores? Are we looking at more closings this month?

I’ve been with Verizon for over 8 years, and the last 2 years have been something else. Absolutely zero integrity from executive leadership down to retail. Slam b---s--- hum at all costs. Oh yeah here’s an awesome product called One Talk, it doesn’t... — read more 

They don't want corporate stores anymore. They're trying to push you out. They don't care about you nor your stupid quotas. First, they got rid of the Experience Specialist, who at least took some of the heavy lifting of customer issues off your... — read more 

When a call center closes, are employees given an option to transfer to other call centers if there are openings available? And how does this affect severance?

Thats the news im hearing

Being recently employed means nothing when it comes to layoffs. I know it's usually older workers who are targeted, but in the last two rounds I saw two people who were employed less than six months prior laid off. Just want to emphasize how... — read more

Verizon Wireless Retirees only benefit was half price cell phone service for life! That has now been whopper chopped to 25% ….funny Wells Fargo employees get 26% off. This probably equates to $800 a year...for their overpriced service. The lies this... — read more

Do us all a favor and please close the remaining call centers asap and move them HBA. The company is wasting millions of dollars keeping these centers open. Most reps would rather go HBA anyway.

This sh-- is ridiculous. Last year in September, the quota was 62 devices (THIS WAS ALL DEVICES, including tablets, watches, jet packs, etc) with a bucket of $5,800. Now? It’s 102 phones, PHONES ONLY, with a $11,300 bucket. In one year, with less... — read more

I stand ready to accept a special EISP and leave the service of the company in order to make the situation more sustainable for my fellow employees that remain. You’re welcome.

Hearing a lot of talk over the past week and wondering if anyone has heard anything? Usually this time of year it happens anyways but hearing more talk than usual about it.

Cellular has become a commodity product. All telcos are downsizing. Shifting payroll to an external company would make sense for VZ and they need to show something for Hans in his first quarter. I would expect an announcement to come before September... — read more 

Hearing that the CBO's for wireless are looking at another RIF come November. Anyone else hear anything? Also heard of another re-org coming down the pike for operations. Looking to reduce head count.

We need to create a resistance to indirect some how!!! https://www.google.com/amp/www2.philly.com/philly/business/consumer_news/verizon-store-retailer-difference-location-map-20180829.html%3foutputType=amp

Deal is set between Verizon and Infosys. Starting Oct 1st all IT employees except people managers will be moved to Infosys. Announcement will be in September.

Verizon will function much better with all of you working (or not) someplace else.

I know we are vested at the 3 year mark. Can we leave the following day and keep the vested amount or wait a month? Does any one know?

Posted in this forum too for the Vzw people It's rumor HR will be going around next few weeks to talk to employees. I also heard layoffs coming again in next couple months is why the big push for HR presence. Now's the Time to Union. Save our jobs!

Spoke with executive who had meeting earlier today. SMB Specialist role will end as of Jan 2019. In most markets the smb specialist is an expendable role. Why pay someone to do the work that reps and managers can do in store.

Does anybody know what happens if you get RIF'd this year but were employed here when Lowell said we would receive the stock in 2019 and 2020? I know it's not much but wondering if we lose that with being RIF'd.

Wah-wah-wah-wah CONTRACT-wah-wah-wah-wah EISP-wah-wah-wah-wah PENSION.....give us all a break! We try to get valuable info on this board but there is nothing but constant whining and complaining. Stop already!!
