Employees filing lawsuits against Sprint

The list keeps on piling up for Sprint who has been trying to win back customers and compete with other rival domestic wireless carriers. Bad news keeps on rearing its ugly head with its foundation of employees now taking aim at the company for lost commission. New reports have surfaced stating that possibly thousands have been cheated out of their sales commissions due to a computer glitch. Of course the company has stated that they are committed to paying their employees what they are owed. This so called anomaly means that they did not receive the full amount of what they earned as far back as 2005 when Sprint and Nextel merged together. The U.S. district court gave Sprint until December 22 to provide a full list of all the sales clerks who were potentially affected. This does not bode well for Sprint who has been fighting an uphill battle for a long time against its competition. Now on top of customers filing lawsuits for their recently revised Early Termination Fee policy and poor third quarter results, they have to deal with internal problems with their own employees. With the economy still in a downward spiral, this does not look well for Sprint shareholders.

I don't think there is a company in America that employs more tools then VZW. Most if not all their comments are just like #1. Then they all cry and call phonearena a bias website due to the review they gave the Storm.

#4 and you base that off of the internet...you should know how people are on the internet. have you ever heard that song "im so much cooler on the internet" i work for verizon as well. i have for about a year and not all of us are as conceited as #1. douche bags are everywhere, every job, every state, every city.

I do understant that it is not all empoyees but is see it all phones blogs I vist. The rediculas comments that some VZW employees post far out weigh the comments I see from At&t, T-Mobile and Sprint employess combined. It is nice to see that there are employees like your self but the other just give you all a bad name. You are right...most of it is due to the internet as I doubt the authors of some of these comments would say the same things if you were talking to them face to face.

That is my point #8. All we see here are VZW employees of course they are for VZW. How is that strange or difficult to comprehend? We don't get the same comments from AT&T employees as they normally post on AT&T news. We just get the VZW peeps posting on evey single story regardless if it relates to them or not. If the posts had some insightful info that would be one thing, but normally they bring absolutly nothing to the conversation and just make it harder to read the worthy comments.

i wanna hear what the Sprint-fag-boys have to say about this, not surprising since Sprint is corrupt so much.

why do all you idiots think i work for verizon haha lol

Maybe becasue we are talking about VZW employees and in your post you write " you keep complaining about us." We are complaining about VZW employees and you say "us" meaing you are included and work for VZW. If that is not the case then don't type misleading posts. Maybe you imagine that you work for them or something not really sure. I can only go by what you type. Who's the idiot again?? Now if we were talking about fanboys then you could use the word "us" in your post and there would be no confusion.

*GASP* You mean a company is trying to make money?????? And a commisioned sales rep likes earning his comissions?????? What is the world coming to???

47. elgee02 (unregistered) posted on 28 Nov 2008, 22:37 0 0

Yeah, becuase commission sales reps for all the other carriers don't care about making money. Tool.

Well first off your view is slightly skewed. Verizon has more employees than any of the other companies you mentioned so it would stand to reason that there would be more people like #1 posting representing Verizon than other companies. And really, I fail to see why you criticize him so. Sure he was blatant, however he spoke the truth and the vast majority of people in his position would feel the same way. Some, maybe even most wouldn't vocalize it, but that is a mute point when dealing with the internet. It doesn't matter what people think of him here. You don't know him, therefore he shouldn't care what you think. And if you honestly say that his post is going to put a bad taste in your mouth, and will lead to your choosing a different carrier, well then you should probably look at the numbers Verizon has posted consistently. America's biggest network? Check. America's most reliable network? (not the tagline, rather researched performance) Check. Great customer service? (not the best, but second only to T-Mobile who, well lets face it, if they didn't have the best customer service would they have any customers to...well service?) Check. If Verizon didn't have any of these qualities, it would be faring worse than Sprint. Verizon is much more expensive because they know people will gladly pay extra every month than deal with Sprint's horrendous customer care or T-Mobile's obvious lack of coverage. So if you are going to take what one person on an online site takes to be a representation of an entire company, well then the fault is on you. To make such a brash decision based on a personality perception is a terrible assumption, however this vicissitude is the prerogative of the viewer. This verbiage has veered most verbose I'm afraid, so I apologize and thank you kindly for your time.
