The Jay Leno dress code is being sunsetted. Oh how i will miss those shirts.
If you can quit or retire just do it!
So much happier after leaving. 30 years in still in my 50s and life is soooo much better without Verlieson. Don't be scared and belive you can't do better. This toxic company is going down in a dumpster trash fire ball of flames.
You are a fool to think HR cares about you over Management
HR DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU! GET READY FOR PIPS =)
New commission structure
We all know that new comp plans are always tested in certain markets before being released. So the theory that they released this a few weeks after "listening" to us in the pulse survey is Ludacris. They had to have tested it for a few months. I'm... — read more
Thoughts on removal of Verizon employee reddit and discord?
I'm surprised I havnt seen this here yet but the employee subreddit and discord just shut down due to doxing and legal threats from the recent union busting efforts. This seems to be a pretty rough turn of events for employees as it was a good outlet... — read more
Is your Manager, GM/SM, one of those that only spend time in the back?
If yes? Then welcome to Verizon Wireless Management Role! Yes, all they do is Meetings, and more Meetings, and at the back office playing with their phones while the store is full of people, some not even to buy just for billing or tech issues. ... — read more
New Commission lies "real truth"
Be positive we are a team! "We all get paid like cr@p" Bad surveys can't hurt you "Good surveys can't give you a 25% bump in pay anymore" No cap so you can hit windfall "150% of a total store commission is nearly impossible to achieve so, lol... — read more
My store looks pretty desperate
I mean, I can say without exaggeration that my store looks more desperate than ever. I hope the condition is better in other stores, but it seems to me that all of them are more or less looking desperate nowadays...

What makes you cringe?
I'll start. When I put the customer on with asurion to make a claim and the asurion rep tries to sell vz home. The customer always rolls their eyes and says, "why are they trying to sell me something? I just want my phone fixed."
3/11 off payroll
I have seen hardly any post surrounding this last round of layoffs due to ops merger. I was impacted and today was to be my last day. Thankfully I started a new role with the company Monday. So glad to be able to stay. My thoughts are with anyone... — read more
What happened to Winner’s Circle jrek?
Last week I guess they announced the results ? Usually there are like 3-4 reps per district winning this thing and yet not one person qualified in mine ? How is that even possible ? Did they change the criteria and make it nearly impossible to... — read more
March quota
Our quota went up 30% from last month for the same iPhone SE with a new chip? And an iPad we won't see in stores until May? Makes sense.
L&D cuts???
So an email went out to all L&D... It mentioned "internal talent" needing to get ready to apply for jobs. Ready, set, apply... The seminar is held at the end of March, so layoffs in the 2nd quarter?
Negotiate pay?
Band 6 making a lateral move. Will this come with a raise and should I try to negotiate for more?
Base pay vs At risk pay
Base pay is now 80% of your money. It used to be the other way around. When you sold more you made a lot more. Nobody cared about Base pay. Now they flipped it backwards to say your commission is going to be so bad just look at Base pay. And now... — read more
I always feel Appreciated when Leadership raises my quota then tries give me a balloon and some cake!
Business Markets in the East quota went up Mar 1st an average of 20-25% from Feb's already high numbers. Everyone affected from Sr Acct Mgrs, CE's, Sales Mgrs & AD's. Its so easy to hit without any 4G Apple Stock, especially Tablets back ordered... — read more
Award perks wtf
No one gives a damn about award perks, takes too long to get anything and there nothing there that worth the wait. Employee appreciation laughable. They never get it right. Never motivational and so out of touch.
Your thoughts on the new commission?
Po-p Po-p Po-p as ways!
Time to unionize
Come on this sh-t has to end. The new structure will lead to even less payout. Someone please bring in the union! Make them either pay us more or let us go. Happy either way. If we force their hand then at least they will have to severance us. I will... — read more
Telesales Changes.
This job is no longer good. Had a nice 1 year run, this is over.
Bring the Union over to Verizon Retail Store NOW!!!
Maybe they can stop this non sense from Verizon but vteamers are leaving everyday for other companies....
Target Employees get paid more
Today their minimum wage got raised to $24/hour . Been with verizon for 9 years. And that’s what I get paid now. Use to be proud of working for this company but it’s gone downhill in every aspect from leadership, comp plan, point of sale, and... — read more
New Retail Como Plan
Verizon announces a new comp plan for retail today. Looks as though RIS will no longer hurt and there will be individual performance boosters for commission multipliers. Supposedly the targets will be more “transparent”, ok… we will see… 🙄 More... — read more
RIS score
Final day of the month, just curious if stores are getting detractors coming in and losing multipliers on the last day of the month like always.
25 Stores in LA Greatest Area, only 8 are Corporate!
Get ready for more and more corporate stores going indirect, it's coming! Look at your district manager, now has to handle indirect as well =| Why? He is getting some training on how to handle those stores once most of them get switched to Indirect... — read more

More and More corporate stores going indirect!
Who's ready to apply for indirect Stores? it's coming!!
Verizon’s Russian agreements
The Swed mentioned our Russian employees yesterday, but failed and will probably never mention our agreements giving Russian providers access to west. Grow a pair, they are coming after your homeland next.
Mask Policy
CDC just changed its guidance!! CAN WE FINALLY END THIS POLITICAL THEATRE AND LET US BREATHE FREELY!!!!
Presidents Cabinet/ Winners Circle
Has anyone heard any chatter on a date to announce the winner? Or has anyone heard of the amounts the cash outs will be this year since the trip has been canceled?
HR/Internal Interview Inquiry

PULSE surveys
would i get a black mark on my profile if i was honest in the survey and revealed how my manager is completely and utterly useless? and also a sex1st and rac1st?
VZ IT falsifying votes on TheLayoff
It’s obvious that VZ IT has figured out how to falsify voting on TheLayoff site, no surprise there as VZ does the same thing on pulse surveys, customer satisfaction scores and other surveys. When a company sucks so badly that it has to resort to... — read more
I guess we are too expensive for Verizon
Obviously the plan is to replace the current employees with cheaper labor, so I assume that we can expect more and more outsourcing in the future. It will be interesting to look back in a few years and see how many jobs at Verizon will be... — read more
Engineer’s Week
Verizon is so pathetic with a Google Jamboard for National Engineers Week. Can the company finally start honoring the best deserving engineers for the rest of the year, not just during Engineer’s Week?
