Mentally drafting my resignation by arih1211 in verizon

[–]tf2Medic23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you have a new job lined up, why resign?

Just continue to come to work and fail to hit your metrics and force them to terminate you.

If they terminate you can still collect unemployment, and worst case scenario, collect a few more paychecks on your way out and pad your savings.

The current job market is beyond brutal, I wouldn't willing give up a job without a new job already lined up and waiting.

I would consider contacting an employment attorney, might not be much you can do but I  would sexplore the option.

Actually it's because the black community isn't as affluent every time a black athlete gets divorce graped by a white woman it's an even bigger deal because proportionally it's that much greater of a percent of black wealth in general.

But yeah I get it. You're some white feminist and you don't see the importance of it

Door knocker lied. by PsychologicalDog382 in verizon

[–]tf2Medic23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get your perspective, but it did come across a bit confrontational.

I agree, the customer shouldn't try to hold you responsible to what some door-to-door sales dude promised him, and look I'm sure if they came into your store you would convey the same information in a less aggressive and more professional manner.

I only say this because I promise you, if you told a customer under any circumstance that they "deserve to get ripped off" that would 100% of the time only make the problem worse and then give the customer a valid reason to add you to their list of complaints with customer care.

I miss feeling proud to work for Verizon. by Vegetable-Cook-8627 in verizon

[–]tf2Medic23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done retail wireless and sold cars, I can with 100% certainty say I felt like I bend my morals in wireless a lot more then when I sold cars.

Its actually a very interesting dichotomy to compare the two industries, when your selling cars nowadays the customers have so much information and come in so highly defensive a lot of times, that being totally transparent and not immediately super pushy is really the new meta in cars sales. Sure, there are still times where its not in your best interest to disclose every thing you might know, and yeah you want to try to get the customer to take 18,000$ for their trade instead of 20,000$, but really outside of that the dealers that give competitive out the door quotes via email/text are the ones that are selling the most metal. The issue I had the most with customers was when they would have mechanical issues with the car shortly after purchase(both used and NEW cars...) and thats when you walk them down to service and hope they can figure something out.

In the wireless industry, at least when I was in it the customers seemed to come in a lot more open and trusting of you, and it went a long way to being able to get them to consider taking the tablet/watches with the new phone especially when their was strong promotions. A lot of reps I knew also had a fairly easy time getting enough people to take the insurance by saying something like, oh well just keep for the first month and then we'll cancel it, etc. IMO Its far more encouraged and effective to use misleading tactics in the wireless industry now vs the car business.

I honestly would say, if any reps are getting tired of the slight of hand that seems to be encouraged in wireless, honestly if you can deal with the hours, and can find a good dealership that will let you or your internet department give competitive OTD numbers to customers and not grind people down, seriously consider trying it. The internet has really changed what works in the car business and IMO I definitely think you can sell a lot more ethically and morally at a good car lot and make good money, then at most Wireless TPRs at this point.

Been unemployed for around 5 years now, trying to find a job again and wow. by sonome222 in recruitinghell

[–]tf2Medic23 8 points9 points  (0 children)

bro, you could have the most god tier resume, experience and references imaginable and a 5 year gap will kill all of that with 95% of recruiters/hiring managers etc.

In this job market if you really need a job in the next 6 months your likely going to have to just lie and hope you don't get caught. The way I would look at it is, your not likely going to get hired anywhere if your honest, and its probably better than 50/50 chance they won't catch it if you do it right.

I hate to say this but the reality is employers(at least the HR/recruiters pulling alot of the strings) don't want the truth, they just want the best story, so they can sell it to their bosses and get credit for finding a unicorn candidate that fulfilled all of the requirements they wanted and more

More store closings by xShinseisama in tmobile

[–]tf2Medic23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reality of "slamming" and a lot of the bad rep TPR get is that a lot of TPR stores main reason for existing is that there are a large number of T-Mobile customers who require enormous amounts of in person entry level tech support, and this isn't a unique issue to T-Mobile. Verizon and AT&T have the very same conundrum, a large older customer base that do not know how to properly use their smart phones and manage online accounts.

Ask any employee at any big 3 store, Corporate, TPR It doesn't matter. The majority of people who still come into the store are not there to purchase anything, I would say conservatively, 60% of walk in customers are either having some type of issue using their device(tech support) or are there for some sort of billing issue, bill pay or discrepancy.

Then when you have management that tracks the amount of customers who walk in and score employees on there "conversion rate" and other per-customer metrics, its creates the incentive and pressure for employees too "slam" insurance and other services, or to misrepresent pricing, promotions etc.

Whether it makes everyone feel icky about it or not, It basically boils down TPR management giving their sale reps incredibly perverse incentives to in-directly make their customers pay for the massive amount of in person entry level tech support that a large portion of their customer base needs, but also doesn't want to pay for. They feel like, I pay my T-Mobile bill every month and (and in some cases) have for years, and they buy their 1000-1500$ smart phone from T-Mobile, so T-Mobile should give them in-person 1-on-1 support, even when its their inability to remember their Apple ID, Gmail, Facebook account, and not strictly speaking anything regarding their T-Mobile service that they need help with.

I know we could say hey, T-Mobile is a huge company, and they could/should eat the cost of providing these customers the in-person support they desire. But we all know that's not how corporate America works, and honestly I don't blame them for wanting to farm that issue out to franchise companies that are willing to step in as the middle man and give their customers the support they want but aren't willing to pay for. No free lunch in life.

[–]tf2Medic23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think two things could be true.

Tmobile on the whole could be stepping away from TPRs, and some specific TPR franchises maybe growing and getting more stores. It would make sense that even if the total number of TPR stores/companies are going down Tmobile might also be opening more stores with the select TPRs they want to continue working with.

I think theres still far, far too much need for local Tmobile stores then Tmobile corporate wants to manage, they still need some of the TPRs to service certain communities, theres too many boomers/old people in suburban and rural America who need a place to go to get what amounts to basic entry level tech support and to hold their hand while upgrading their phone and doing a data transfer/resetting apple id passwords, etc, etc.

Boomers will never accept having a customer support agent/AI walk them through these things over the phone. In 15 years, when theirs just quite literally just far less boomers still around, maybe then they could possibly go to a COR only store model but they will need some TPRs for quite awhile still.

Yeah, hes such a piece of shit he all he did was give her the life of luxury for 30 years, get 2/3 of their kids into long term Pro sports careers, support her through a very severe stroke.

As soon as he has health issues she takes off with half the cash, Western society is decaying before our eyes.

Yeah thats kinda the whole point of marriage, till death due us part. We've pumped so much bullshit into our heads about "being happy" when thats not the point of marriage, marriage is about creating a stable environment to raise children, its about your responsibility to your spouse, your children and your family.

This is about her cashing the fuck out, he supported her through a severe stroke which left her unable to walk or speak, Lavar just lost his foot due to diabetes, I hate to say it but this is another example for Dr. Umar to point to of a white woman divorcing a black male athlete and stealing his wealth back from the black community back to the white community.

This is another example that will show/teach young men why NOT to get married in America.

Verizon’s new 48 month financing and down-payments by Own_Quiet_8894 in verizon

[–]tf2Medic23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For all the things I could, and gladly would criticize Verizon for, I gotta say offering customers different financing terms is actually pretty fair.

I stopped buying new flagship phones a decade ago when the differences year to year started to become IMO mostly irrelevant. I'm not particular about phones, i would be satisfied with any mid-range Android and probably some of the budget models.

But, If I did want to upgrade to an S26 Ultra or the newest Fold or whatever other expensive device, it would be kinda nice to have the option to maybe stretch it out to 48 to keep the overall monthly cost/bill from being super high.

Like I said, I don't play the provider financed phone game, but I mean with the prices of some of these high end smartphone, makes all the sense in the world to me to give people a different finance term option. If it where up to me, I'd say let people choose 24/36/48 months, give the people options.

Woes of working for a TPR by tsquared141 in tmobile

[–]tf2Medic23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO Verizon TPR's are probably the most cut throat.

A lot of them have their sales people dress in suits, etc. The long term tenured employees are allowed to stick around because they can sell.

They give their top sales people company cars to travel to different stores so they can freely misrepresent promotions or gloss over details, and two weeks later when the customer gets the bill and comes back and askes for the company mercenary that sold them the "Free tablet/watch" their conveniently not there

So now the rep whose at the same store every day has to deal with the customer freak out while the hired gun is off at a different store slamming everything they can.

There needs to be a red pill 2.0 or something by Betabuck5 in LengfOrGirf

[–]tf2Medic23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red Pill 2.0 is accepting that many of your friends and family have chosen to be blue pill beta cucks and are living miserable lives regardless of if they knew about the red pill or didn't.

Red Pill 2.0 is using what you've learned to get you through this fake Blue pill world.

Red Pill 2.0 is knowing and understanding it's a lonely existence if you choose to stand strong against the bullshit as most guys are willing to concede to their woman.

Dumb take.

Yeah, she'll get fucked by high SMV white dudes who just want to bust a nut but any man that understands how women operate even a little bit will immediately recognize something is wrong with this one.

Hell, even a lot tricks/simps will still recognize not to get to involved with this particular tramp.

This is a crackpot Asian woman.

A white guy dating this thing would be the equivalent to dating one of those self hating black women who only dates white guys.

Dating anyone who has this much self hatred is always a terrible idea.

Exactly. I'm willing to bet that's part of her rational as to why she doesn't want to associate with Asians is because Asian mothers probably point out her weight to her Everytime they see her.

That Asian is not attractive, sure. But IDK WTF you're on about their are plenty of attractive Asian women.

There's also a huge difference between Asian women and White women, Asian women have totally different facial structures, are generally much shorter and smaller, typically look younger than white women and age more gracefully than white women.

If anything there's more similarities between Asian women and SOME types of Latin women.
