Why is anybody staying here???

This place is doomed to fail. They've tried to save it so many times in so many ways and has anything improved? That's a big NO. If you're smart, you are already looking for something new at a company that at least has some kind of a future, unlike... — read more

FOR SALE?

Not sure if its lumen as a whole of just the CenturyLink side of the house is being confirmed as up for sale being discussed. I get it, who would want to buy us.....

Best Employer for Diversity - Not!

How can Lumen be touting the Best Employer for Diversity. There isn’t one African American in upper management and I don’t recall one at a VP level. This is very misleading!

Just found out today there will be 16 layed off in WNPK/WNGD districts, CWA3176. Can't say that I'm surprised but still sucks. I'm pretty damn sure I will be one of them. I've got about 8 hours left to wonder.... CL has got to be the worse company... — read more 

How much did the non compete agreement hurt you?

I was a CO Tech and they walked three of us out at the same time. Gave us like an 80 page document and we had 45 days to sign it saying we agreed to their 1 year non compete clause and no working for a contractor for six months, and laughably, that... — read more 

Is there a worse employer?

Is there an employer out there that treats its employees worse than CenturyLink? I’ve worked for a variety of companies in my nearly three–decade–long career and I haven’t seen anything remotely as bad as this place. And it takes some effort to be... — read more 

Wake up People

Colorado CWA is a complete joke! They haven’t protected us or negotiated a fair contract in years. They did sell the union hall because they aren’t collecting enough dues because people keep getting laid off and leaving the company because there is... — read more 

CWA

Been looking at this site for awhile. Spoke to friends I work with. Moral in Colorado is down big time. I went to the CWA website to see if there was any comment from them. Last officer update was last May?? Last reported grievance was addressed in... — read more 

Layoffs in unrepresented areas

Does anyone know the policy for layoff in areas not represented friend got walked out today but his paperwork says he has 45 days to sign an agreement? They gave him a check and said bye.

MROs sudeen interest in this site

So all of a sudden in a morning meeting, the MRO wants to know, have any of you heard of the layoff.com site and is anyone commenting there? Nobody says a word. Then, someone says, why do you ask? Oh, no reason. Hmmm..right.

Luman

Any word on when Clink will be sold off or just close up shop?

Will they ever be able to replace some people again?

The company no longer has any comparative advantages on the basis of which it could attract professionals such as those it has driven away or lost through its disregard for employees in general. They laid off a top expert who selflessly shared... — read more 

No help from HR after layoff?

How accommodating is HR to help resolve some post-layoff dilemmas? I saw here that someone says that he did not get almost any help from HR. Well that’s really a shame and despite everything I can’t believe this company has fallen so low. Has this... — read more 

What's the criteria?

I'd accept an offer in a heartbeat, which of course means I didn't receive one. Do we know what was the criteria used to determine who gets it? Is it based strictly on location, department, years, or something else? Would it be a good idea to... — read more 

Job Security

Definition: a made up term used by Unions to keep their members paying dues.

Details of severance pay

How generous is the company when it comes to severance pay? How satisfied are you? Can severance pay be negotiated here?

Received bonus and got laid off

Really awful. Did it happen to anyone else that they got laid off shortly after they got the bonus??? It’s my fault that I thought the bonus meant some security, so I was unprepared for the layoff. That’s what they do, give people bonus so that... — read more 

Who is getting hit today?

I hate how few details there are about the ongoing layoffs. Any chance somebody here knows what's getting hit today? I know for a fact there are more layoffs happening right now but I can't find where. I think they do this on purpose - making sure we... — read more

Innovative ways to eliminate union employees

Do you think that this company isn't looking for innovative ways to eliminate Union employees? I have never, in 24 years, had an unsatisfactory monthly evaluation. I have numerous accommodations from upper management and I am one of maybe a dozen... — read more

My question for techs who were given notice, how were you notified? Which way? Also interested in whether you had the opportunity to negotiate severance pay? Some say it’s possible, while others claim it's not. I’m debating whether I should even... — read more 

What is up with this company?

To me, this kind of management, how this company is managed, is a total wreck. My personal opinion is that someone intentionally wants to destroy it. I can’t explain such horrible management otherwise. Is it possible that it can’t be any better, that... — read more
