I'm surprised no one has posted yet. The last segment with Brown is the stupidest thing I've had to listen to. We are crashing and burning and we are listening to our CEO get a counseling session from this foul-mouthed author who loves to brag that... — read more 

Yet another frustrating day of trying to find anyone willing to work at Lumen or at least work with me to get things done. Internally, I think the place is as close to being paralyzed as you can get. People in meetings all day but nobody is really... — read more

CDN customers sold to Akamai. Was an insignificant business with no hope of competing with Akam or Cloudflare. Hope there is more behind the scenes for Akamai to use the Lumen network.

Do we really need all the email communications from our crack corporate communications department? 2, 3, 4 a day? Really? Make it go away! Do we really have that much good news to share company wide?

Survival! We made to the end of another month and the end of the 3rd quarter gang! It's the final lap, heading into Q4 and EOY. How do you think we did this quarter? Thoughts for the rest of the year?

I can't believe they continue the same path day in and day out. This is a telecom remake of Ground Hog Day. October 1st locks in the bargained employees 2024 PTO if they decide on a surplus in the 4th quarter. In reality they really need to trim... — read more

Last week we saw $1.60, but we're swirling around the bowl today... $1.39 USD −0.11 (down 7.33%)

We don't even sell DSL in my state anymore. Nothing.

I don't think the company will offer any VSP's if they do headcount reductions. I think they will lay off first.

Sounds like all reqs are frozen. We all know what comes next.

Lumen Technologies’ creditor advisors are said to have signed NDAs to discuss a debt extension and inject fresh cash. The potential investment would be less than $1 billion.

https://seekingalpha.com/article/4635084-lumen-technologies-approaching-key-point Interesting points once again in the comments section. It seems that we're in default with some of the debt by selling the LATAM sector of the company. "The... — read more 

Yes, Lumen dropped the word telecommunications when they changed names. So, are we (still) in competition with these (few) communications companies?: CHTR - Charter $449.37 (share) TMUS - T-Mobile $143.12 APO - Apollo/Brightspeed $91.17 CMCSA -... — read more

Who was our c-suite exec that got canned today?

Why won't Kate Johnson tell us how bad it really is at Lumen Technologies? Is a RIF around the corner? Is Lumen beyond saving? Stock su-ks. Nothing is being sold. All travel is canceled where I work. Who will turn out the lights at Lumen?

Kate can smoke hope all day long but in the end she and her team are proven losers and Wall Street has declared them dead people walking. What a s$it show!!!

I see Dare to Lead has been "postponed until 2024" Yet another failed woke initiative to add to the long list!

Hey Gang! It's time for another survey! No Thanks! Beware, this one does not say it's confidential.

Anybody else notice that they took the stock price off of the new Inside Lumen homepage? I guess if you hide the problem it will help it go away!

Now they’re selling a jet too. Hahahahaha

What does everyone think about what's gonna happen this month?

What if everyone bought 100 shares of stock to pass out on 10/31in lieu of Halloween candy? Could that raise the stock price?Your thoughts?
