has anyone ever worked for or known someone that works for Verizon? Specifically cellular sales? My hubby has worked for cellular sales for almost three years and every now and then there’s always a check of his with a bunch of money missing from it. It’s a 100% commission based job so if a customer return a phone or tablet or something the money he made from that sale will be charged back to him and he has to pay for it. Whatever, we knew that going in. But last month his check had over $1,000 missing on it and the only reason he was given was because customers stopped internet service he sold. Well he called each of the customers they said cancelled and every one of them said they still had active internet and had no plans of cancelling service. My husband is not as outspoken as I am and pretty much just lets it go. This month he’s also missing money and draft points with no explanation so he will get a horrible schedule on top of missing money. He says there is no way to look at their paystubs to really figure out where the missing money is going which I find sketchy. He still won’t voice this to anyone higher than his immediate boss. We can’t pay our bills and he’s already working two jobs. I feel like he really needs to reach out to someone higher up but he refuses just saying they won’t be able to do anything. I’m so frustrated they are essentially stealing from us and he doesn’t care. I want to go over his head and email his head boss but I don’t think that would help the situation much. I just feel lost.

If you emailed them he’d probably get fired but I do think you need to have a serious talk with him and tell him how him allowing them to steal is making the work he’s putting in pointless. Explain to him there’s no point in working if he isnt getting paid for his work and also explain to him how them stealing money is severely effecting your household and financial stability. Sometimes people don’t understand exactly how serious it is until we thoroughly explain it and that’s why they brush it off it’s not that they don’t care sometimes the problem doesn’t seem big enough for it to be worth the stress . I’m sure once he realizes how serious it actually is he’ll say something.

There has to be a way he can look at his stubs. Print them off or there should be some type of server he can log into to get them. If he’s having issues I’m sure he can call corporate or HR and really figure out what’s going on.

There are class action lawsuits like this being paid out against companies not paying what they should! Look up lawsuits or law offices that handle class action lawsuits or even if there's already one open against Verizon specifically
