I left a CTL a few years back! Before I left, I ran many successful programs. When the new HR regime came in, I was told it was CR-P! If you couldn't track it under the new HR regime, it was not a valid program. If you are blue, green, gold, or... — read more 

I took the stla package the company says I and in a temporary layoff. So I can't collect my 401k.

It's another way to cut employees.

But it seems to me that they are doing their best to get rid of such talented people who work hard. Why would someone who has more technical knowledge than their superior stay here and be humiliated? I'm only hampered by age, because it's hard... — read more

It’s hard for people to realize but this company has been a steaming pile of sh-t ever since centurytel bought qwest. I specifically remember being in shitville when Nacchio ran us in the ground. I can’t believe any person who still works here can... — read more 

I hope management completely smashes the CWA. They are completely worthless. It’s hard to imagine a more worthless organization. I have been giving dues to what end. F them.

Lumen is expected to changed their name to “Lemon”. After the most recent quarter, Lemon will be the more appropriate name going forward. That’s how we refer to it on Wall Street.

That is, which states does Lumen want to keep? In any case, the situation is hopeless because there is no future here and we should flee from here ASAP.
