We Have Said It Before, Get a Clue Verizon

Well we have heistated to report this story both because of its sexual content and it just follows a pattern with Verizon. But Verizon has acted so it now makes it a legitimate story. So –

Verizon is aware of this incident involving one of its vendors. We have zero tolerance for violations of the law and hold our vendor responsible for the actions of its employees. Out of respect and concern for our customers, Verizon has suspended D2D in DE until further investigation is complete.”

That is a contracted employee was caught committing a male sexual act in the open. In itself that is pretty disgusting. But actually that is not the point I am trying to bring to the fore here. We have noted here before that the more you let others represent the brand the more likely it is to be tarnished. If you are not vetting the people that represent you with the same as if they are employees then hey that’s your loss.

So now you have to suspend door to door solicitation till this is over. How long will that be? At the sametime how is the public supposed to react anytime that a person in a verizon shirt shows up at there door. Or for that matter how should people react to that ‘verizon crowd’ now?

Need to think guys and gals. Your brand is being trashed by people you have not vetted. Keep it up and you will be headed for Comcast territory. An observation from a concerned stockholder.
