help me out guys...I'm tired
so my new opt manager dosnt not know his head from his ass...and i have to put a 500 word essay together today on why people should choose verizon wireless over other carriers....it sucks I have been here 2 years and I really dont care why....but if any of you have anything sarcastic to say it would be good too. đ
...
I just wouldnt do it. I would type on a piece of paper, that essays are for 5th graders, and this is 2006, people are empowered to make there own choices, so all VZW can do is stay competitive and offer the best service and they will come.

Wait they're giving you an essay as homework form you job? Are we back in High School? The hell is up with that? What happens if you fail, do you have to retake the training class? Please, that's pretty juvenile, I'm thinkin'
Bring him an apple tomorrow... say "well since we're back in grade school can I be the teacher's pet?"

he is an asskisser....i hate this guy with a passion.....and yes i feel like i am in high school again... đŗ

send niko to give him a lap dance long enough for you to erase the name off of someones paper and put your own
...
How about send Niki to kick him upside the head so that he doesn't remember his own name.

If you bought them, I don't own anything with more than an inch or two of lift. (My ex husband was only an inch taller than me and I didn't like towering over him, he was no fun about that sort of thing.) My aunt says I need to get a leather body suit though... apparently she thinks that would look good on me. Apparently.
...
She thinks I should. She says since I'm already into pain (the Karate, I love getting new bruises in Karate, from fighting.) that it's fitting. She says she's waiting for me to show up in work in head to toe black leather.

You should say that Verizon is the only one with The Network. Compare it with other companies network slogans and then cap it off with, "but it's not The Network. Only Verizon has The Network." Then spin off into more propoganda.
I know you can do it!

When I used to work for Best Buy they made everybody do an essay. I don't even remember what it was about. I didn't do it.
I told them that's it's retarded and I graduated high school already. If I wanted to do essays I've be in college.
I got wrote up, but I figured I'd rather spend 2 minutes being talked to and signing some write up form than spending hours of my own time writing an essay.

...
They probably didn't read them either. Do you think your managers wanted to go home and grade papers? đ
...
Sadly, I know of at least one person who would have.
He has what we called a "Best Buy for life" mentality.

...
If he plans on eventually going into management and then UPPER management, then good for him. If he wants to stay on the floor forever, then... also good for him. Just not my cup o tea.
...
Best Buy will be his life. He's never going anywhere else.
The only problem is, the further he climbs up the ladder, the more he becomes "that manager" that everybody hates.
He tried to write me up once and I laughed at him and pointed out at least 3 occasions where he did exactly what he was writing me up for.

You could also write an essay about something totally different, like why writing this stupid essay is a waste of time and why you deserve a raise. At least that would be a constructive use of your time.

awwwwwwwwww.....thank god the owner of the company just came in here and I showed him all of you fine folks.. comments on the matter....and he told me he just wants this guy to "work" for his money...and that he dosen't give a **** what I do just as long as I hit my quota haha...
I told the owner I feel like I am a target for middle managment hostility and he told me the new oprations manager is.....AWWWW...working in the cellphone industry is so peachy sometimes.
Thanks guys for the comments....some of them made the owner laugh. đ

Awe, so no 12 page essay on why T-Mobile totally rules? That makes me sad.
What's really sadder is the fact that about a year ago I had nothing better to do with my time and went home and made a 12 page power point presentation on our pre-paid plans. I had way too much time on my hands.

đŗ Maybe you should have taken classes in a different martial art to take away some of that free time.
...
No. The Violent Convicted Rapist who moved in next door and his girlfriend called the cops on him twice for beating on her... that was the cause for the Karate.

you know seriously....my store sucks I cant help it...we are in so cal and the owner is korean...I am white.. I am the only one in this store and our signs and advertising go out in korean....so I just sit here all day and dwell about going home at 7:00 although I did sell 1 phone today...at leat I am not on commission anymore....but after two years here I do seriously miss the english speaking population đĸ
The rest of our stores are staffed by koreans...so they have lots of stuff to be doing....like asking me how to do esn changes đŗ

Did they stop paying you commission cuz your checks were so small due to a lack of costumers who speak English?
On a side note, whereabouts in So Cal?

No I started here on salary....I like knowing my pay checks are the same each month...but I did get paid more when I wored at at&t on commission.....but it sucks when you go a few days with no sales so I kind of like the security here......its Brea ca
...
Ah, I've never stopped there, just driven through it. I live on the Central Coast of Cali, so I'm about 180 miles north of you, give or take 20-50 miles.
...
Slow as frick. I at least sold a phone today. My paycheck is going to be pretty pathetic, though. I've been relocated to this new store in a smaller town. We haven't even announced our grand opening, so most residents don't even know we're here. We've yet to get our permanent sign and only have a Verizon Wireless Authorized Agent banner on our building. I hope this store does well, I live only three minutes away. It's saved me so much money in gas. I haven't had to refill my tank in two weeks. Working at the other store was causing me to refill every week.
...
I know what you mean how much is gas out there? Here it is 3.47 a gallon $70 a week for me I live 30 miles away from my store âšī¸

I'm sure that if you asked nicely we could probably write a paragraph or two. A good cut and paste could probably get you the best paper of the class.
...
We'll each write a paragraph about a different provider! Copy and past that all together and then write a couple paragraphs about Verizon and mix it up so you have something like this...
Verizon
Verizon
Sprint
Verizon
Cingular
Verizon
T-Mobile
Nextel
Verizon
Altell
Verizon
Cricket
Boost
Verizon
Tracfone
Verizon
And then hand that in. And you can make it REALLY long, if you do in that order and do a paragraph about EACH one you'll have like a three page essay. Use a funny font too so it's just slightly difficult to read. The Verizon paragraphs don't all have to cover different things though they can, you can use the same paragraph a couple times.
Now THAT would be funny.

I promise to rip my paragraph off either a calling plan brochure or a company website.

...or just modify the Essay from "The Breakfast Club":
"Dear Mr. Vernon,
We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you're crazy to make an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us. In the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions.
But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain and an athlete and a basket case, a princess and a criminal.
Does that answer your question?
Sincerely yours,
The Breakfast Club"
