Been off work all day. But calling them about cell phone deal.

If you call the Verizon business account group they will transfer our company phones to a personal account at the current business rate of $55/mo.
Said it was because the name associated with the phone number has been with them so long.
So can get my personal Verizon phone account bringing in my current phone for $55/mo.
The guys at the Verizon store say that is not possible and the account would be $75/mo.
Talked to a VP that transferred his phone 3 month ago and said they told him the same thing and he got his thru the business transfer for $55/mo.

Now for the screwy part.

Business account will let me pay $200 to get an iPhone 6S with 128Gb memory or $300 for iPhone 7 with 128GB.
Says it will require a two year contract for the $55/mo and the contract will transfer when I transfer the phone to a personal account.
Store says they have a deal were I can pay $77.50/mo for a 6S or 87.50/mo for a 7 with a 2 year contract. Which means I would be paying full retail for the phones.

Tell the person in charge of the cell phones (my boss) and he says he was told not to make any new contracts???
Call around and found the HR Director had made this decision.
Of course, can't get ahold of her at all. Both her company and mobil voice mails are full.

Seems like if they would have done just a little research they could have made this go a lot smoother and offered for people to pay to upgrade their phones before transferring them out. For a company that is supposed to be treating their employees well, this is a really crappy thing to do. And letting people upgrade their phones would NOT have cost the company a penny.

For a company that is always asking employees to find ways to do things more productively and save money...It doesn't make me want to save them one dime when treated like that.
