Retirees Got Hit Hard

Wireless phone service discount cut from 50% to 25%. They were able to get away with this bc some reiterees(wireline guys I guess) were only getting 25 % already. Now they pulled everyone else down to their level. Ouch!!!!

Where are the wireless customers?

I was in a wireless store in Orange County CA yesterday, and it was empty. Well, except for the four employees standing by the front door waiting for a customer. They weren't happy to find out I was a former employee. WHERE ARE THE CUSTOMERS?

So This Really Was the 5/17 Layoffs?

Considering they're giving four week instead of the normal six week notices, it looks like this round was intended for 5/17. Someone here, at the time said the paperwork wasn't ready to go, so there would be a delay, and got a lot of grief for it... — read more

How many?

Any ideas how many have been laid off from IT today, company wide? Is this the major layoff that was supposed to happen last week but never materialized? Or is this completely unrelated?

Is it only IT?

From what I'm seeing, it's only IT that's being hit. Does that mean this layoff is IT focused and the rest of us are safe? (Not trying to minimize what's happening in IT across the company, I truly am sorry for everybody losing their jobs, I'm just... — read more 

Good Luck Tomorrow

I hope no one gets laid off. But if you do, try to remember there's other options out there. Employees still should have six weeks of employment before the layoff is official. And hopefully severance pay. Unfortunately, I don't think that applies to... — read more

Commission Changes

Anyone who has been with the company long enough knows when they change the comp plan we sell more to make to less that is a fact. Managers get pissed because if we make less so do they. Anyone in the trails have any idea on what it will be.

Staffing

Absolutely no backfill for ANY position in retail. GMs leaving and SMs placed a acting. SS leaving abc managers deal with it plus key holders. More and more work for less and less and less..::

Why is Verizon on here twice?

Don’t hate what you don’t understand

I once hated the union because I didn’t understand what the union could do for ME. I drank the company juice and nodded when they said that the union wouldn’t do anything for me. Don’t let anyone fool you and think that they can lower quota and... — read more 

Average age of customers

What is the average age of customers that walk into your store every day? I've seen people complain that most of the people who walk through their doors are older, but that's not the case with us (but that could be our location.) I was just wondering... — read more

All GMs have been told of a mandatory meeting with HR on 5/30. What will be discussed? Layoffs? Store hour cuts? Store closures? Union awareness? New commissions? GM layoffs?
