Customers churning out, volumes down, 400+ contact center staff let go. Yet there is no rationalization of solution managers, analysts, IT and VP/Dir/Sr Dir folks to keep pace with drastic drop in customers and revenue. Rather- seeing promotions :-)... — read more 

Poor guy was only in the role for a year. Beware any of you newbies just starting out at Lumen. It's a good chance your employment is short term at best

Might be filing for chapter 11 soon. $10 billion in debt.

I’m ready to move now, but a VSPP would be nice. Pass it on!

How big? Who knows

I'm guessing it will go under $4.00 after the 3rd quarter earnings call. Prove me wrong KJ and Brene !! :)

Lot’s of meetings very little emails hmmmm

I am not sure they are using this word correctly. To transform a company you would take it from bad to good. This is not happening

Stock below $5.00. Just in time for 3rd quarter results followed by 4th quarter holiday layoffs.

Lumen is retiring all the Copper in 20 communities in Iowa as of Oct 18, the Des Moines metro and Cedar Rapids among a few others.. that’s pretty so the two largest metros in Iowa.. copper is all done.. Bye Bye..

I can confirm there will be a RIF impacting Finance and SD as well as others on 10-1.

I wish I could live in the same fantasy land as some of you. It must be fun.

Every single one brings layoffs. Somehow roles which have nothing to do with it are always classified as redundant (I've seen it happen again and again) and people are kicked out. Every single time it's used as an excuse to get rid of good... — read more 

So what's the road map after Lumen is done laying off and restructuring the company? I'm just an IR guy and I'm not sure if I should make a dash to the fiber splicing teams and learn that - or just exit telecom all together. It seems like every week... — read more 

PIPs are rarely about improving performance. They're about building paperwork to fire you. If you get one, start looking. I'm talking from personal experience.

Got rumors floating around of another VSPP coming, this one a bit more lucrative and clearly geared towards the older pensioners. It might be worth sailing off into the sunset. For the younger folks, here's a little perspective from a 40+ year... — read more 

Q4 is here, and job security at Lumen is looking more like a temporary condition than a benefit. The hyperscaler model points toward fewer Lumen employees and more contractors doing the work we used to do, while management bets on an AI/data-center... — read more 

The local folks are about to start Engineering projects, managing them and handling the billing when all is said and done. If you thought you were backlogged before, get ready! Just heard about it in Denver.

Was that just a rumor that was proven wrong or is there still a chance of it happening?

Well it’s official Lumen has fallen for the contractor vs employee trap. It won’t be long until all CO and Gateways are completely unusable. They leave trash, remove fibers and just otherwise do not care. This is a bad idea.
