I cant wait till my location gets closed and i get a rif. Hopefully its coming soon. Ready to get out of this toxic work environment so many people drink the koolaid and are blind at whats going on. Anyone know what the rif is total package for... — read more 

After a rif can you return to work for Verizon?

center seats apprx 1000 but only about 150-200 filled & there is a hiring freeze. Rumors are that Core & EPP are moving out--anybody know more? That would only leave fs--Will they be laid off, relo??

Will there be anymore retail store closings this year or corporate stores turning to indirect and rifs for those wireless employees?

Yep. Marissa brought in that benefit, and now the company spends thousands of dollars per year, per employee at Oath on free meals and snacks. So when the RIFs come, you can thank thank our management for spinelessly maintaining a free lunch that's... — read more 

Both Yahoo and AOL to be hit in a major way - this is a never ending story of pain and agony.... Oh Verizon!!! https://www.recode.net/2017/6/7/15759274/merger-completed-layoffs-combined-aol-yahoo-could-reach-1000

Exactly! Because it's not going to happen.

Verizon wireless will soon be ending alot of roaming agreements in many areas. Get ready for locations close to those stores to be closed soon. They need the extra cash flow. No point in paying that kind of money for small rural areas.

Anyone notice more unqualified women getting promoted lately? So desperate is leadership for females in higher ranks that some have jumped two levels of management to Director or higher with very few years in their old project manager or manager job... — read more 

Next round of layoffs (i.e., RIFs) this month. Notice in last week, off books by end of 3Q. VZ planning no RIFs in 4Q at this point.

no fs jobs anywhere but gc services--will it be outsourced

Get ready. Next round of layoffs and store closures are coming fast. Go union if you are a slow store and want to remain open. Get ready smaller stores. Someone on this site knows the locations. Spill the beans it's anonymous people have kids and... — read more 

Are the layoffs over? Or are they still turning corporate stores to indirect? Especially the smaller slower previous alltel stores?

I don't know if it's just my store or what but I swear it's never good enough. We are required to set monthly commitments. If your commitment is around HUM and you sell a tablet or jet pack or whatever else you still fail. Our quotas are ridiculous... — read more

When will verizon get sued for illegally throttling? This is getting ridiculous. Even the older unlimited plans are being throttled. Especially while streaming. Stop screwing people over

Its idiotic to say solutions specialists jobs will not be affected when several stores have already closed and been turned and auctioned off to indirect stores. If you know any other stores or plans please say something. Were not children we have... — read more 

where is our winning strategy? Wireless: Q2 was good, we are told, because offering the unlimited plan stopped the bleeding. But VZ had to be dragged kicking and screaming to finally offer unlimited. Is this not the definition of stubborn leadership?... — read more 

This is getting absurd. Quotas are outrageous. Goals are unnatainable unless you are a shady sales rep which is what they want but they don't want to know about it. Pure greed. We need to stand up and stand together. Nothing will change unless we... — read more 

Doing "store visits". Money well spent hahaha! Thanks for all the frequent flyer miles and my platinum rewards status! Try and find me VLSS!

Leadership consistently fails to adapt. To put it simply... they got old, their ideas are old. These times require game changers. They require re-examining decisions of the past, not stubbornly insisting on them and ignoring reality Outside-the-box... — read more 

Any word on solution specialist layoffs?

Where? What districts/regions? All these rumors but no locations. Wireless or wireline? They could not afford to layoff 97k employees. They will slowly keep turning corporate stores into indirect stores. They are already hiring trainers for these... — read more

36k postpaid net adds for 2q vs 616k for VZ. AT&T misleading by grouping in connected devices. Make no mistake, VZ ate AT&T's lunch in 2q in the core wireless market.

The Q2 numbers are going to be good. A lot of new net subs. Working for VZ s---s indeed, but Unlimited has turned things around for the numbers. I don't like the crappy management being rewarded any more than you do, but it's the truth.
