Shop Talk

ahaha.. but i do feel like im in a sinking ship ;x california alone did somethin like 25% worse than last year or some crazy stuff like that.

I'll second that with an Allelujah!

i do believe that was right on the money. they did merge, but they didn't commit to merging fully.. bahhumbug.. admit it tho, had sprint got thier thumb out of thier arses and realised that thier cool phones were not that great, they'd be better off then they are now, and it motorola would have seen it sooner, that thier rugged phones could have looked a little nicer, they'd have gotten a bigger crowd other than farmers, immigrants and construction workers. dumbarses 😳

No, my loyalty is to Lowell McAdams.

Ray,

Please do not insult Verizon Wireless by announcing your attachment to them. More than likely, you got fired by Sprint for being a jerk on these very message boards and once VZW figures out who you are, they'll can you as well.

oh

As much as I'm waiting to see the fall of the Sprint Dynasty, check you facts before you start spouting off incorrect information. No where in the Eric M. Zeman article recap taken from the WSJ does it say Sprint is heading for a bankruptcy. I'm hope they do crash and burn, but for the time being, all Sprint plans to do is right size employees and reduce the number of wireless dealers in their indirect sales channel. For the facts, check out...

For all of us Sprint employees...thanks guys. You may not like Sprint but I happen to love my job. There may be a lot of problems with the company, but I am happy here and I love my customers. I work in a corporate store in a small town that is the only corporate store within about 200 miles. If we were to get the ax where will our customers go? I think its really sh***y of sprint to place the blame on its employees. Sure right now its voluntary layoffs but if nobody takes the severance package it will get voluntary real quick. That is a big f**k you to all of us employees who are great at our job. The problem with the company is definately with the higher ups. It is such a disorganized mess. We do the best we can in store but it's...
(continues)

i agree, there's been nothing but problems with the higher ups. and lately we've been givin bi-weekly written tests, to feel out our knowledge. NO its not the sales people's fault that sales have dropped, i know my s**t, but i got one question wrong, however i do feel the wording was incorrect but that i answered it correctly to which it was worded. but my manager fought me on this. what do you think of this question (it could go either way but my answer wasn't completely wrong)


Q - What are the requirements to be eligable for the MIR on any PDA?

my answer - (i shotgunned it) either a new line of service or having had thier equipment for atleast 22months , with a new two year agreement.

he straight up said i...

My thought?



Update your resume

hah

My understanding was that it was only the blackberry and htc phones that required the data pack to receive the mir

the HTC Touch is the only one that im aware of that doesn't require the data pack (by our rebate forms)

I'll tell you where your customers will end up going. They will just have to trek over to the closest major metropolitan or go online for their Sprint products and services. Yes layers of management have to go, but so do the people in the retail stores/kiosks. It is sad to see 4,000 people who very may well have families to support, but guess what? That's the price for working at a Fortune 500 company. Corporate America isn't centered around people. They are centered around what makes American imperialism go round, the power of the dollar.

all hail the green goddess of the (hopefully) sovereign USA! 😁

The entire point of my response to yoboy8's thread was he needs to verify his source for content integrity before he posts something like he did. Had he did so, yoboy8 would have realized that Sprint is only right sizing departments and is not filing for protection under any bankruptcy codes.

Where exactly did yoboy8 say anything about Sprint going bankrupt? SAJ said that.

He confirmed it here...

Ok.



But he still didn't say anything about Sprint going bankrupt. That was a reply to SAJ, asking where he (yoboy) got the information. To which he replied phonescoop, in reference to the article on the News page.


Either way, I guess we just read it differently.

I'm waiting to hear what the severance package is right now. I do love my job but am very fed up with corporate bull$$$$. I am a lead and spend all of my time doing paperwork and calling into cust service to get credits for custs. my manager does not allow us to do credits in store any longer because it makes him look bad. I also have several reps in store who do not know their heads from their a$$. They should be first to go but we all know how it works

Guess what girl? Hosts, RCS and LRCs will not be eligible for VSP. Read Mark Angelino's e mail he sent out to the corporate employees and you'll see what you mean. I guess your Rome may come down in a burning pile soon.

BTW, your ARD and/or RSM are suppose to have the listing of which retail stores in their district will be closed and the time table for shutting down the doors and handling over the key.

Do you work for Sprint, Marcus?

Let's just say I know people close to the information.

Really Marcus? Our DM told us today that he had no clue which stores would be closing. He also said he did not think it would be affecting our district since they thinned us out pretty hardcore during the last round of cuts. I'm not sure if I believe him or not...
