Lumen/CenturyLink abandoning rural America?

Is StarLink shutting down Lumen providing consumer DSL in rural America? Looks like it. Lumen isn't selling anything. We have to support legacy technology with no tech support. There is no morale. No management to speak of. So what gives? It just... — read more 

What's our motivation to keep going?

What motivation do we have to do more and better? I worked harder than ever and what did I get in return? Nothing. I would have fared much better if I had given a minimum of myself. At least I wouldn’t be totally burned out now. All the credit for... — read more 

93% STI

Ok, I accept that an STI payout of 93% is better than a sharp stick in the eye; but c'mon!!!! What a freekin' joke!!!! What this company spends money on is laughable.... Millions on "rebranding" (still trying to figure the logic on that... — read more 

They did you a favor

If you were laid off last week, consider yourself lucky. I know it might not feel that way right now, but in the long run you'll be much better than if you had stayed here. The majority of my former coworkers who were laid off in the last 12 months... — read more

Months of unsuccessful job hunting

I would gladly give away my bonus, in the unlikely case I actually get it, just to somehow find another job. I would gladly give up everything, just so I am not in this company anymore. I also tried lowering my standards, but it’s so hard to find a... — read more 

STI Results

Supposedly, the bonus payout is being announced today. With the terrible financial results, as reported, this may be the first year that a bonus is NOT paid out.... yes, it's happened before when it used to be Level3. Any bets?

Do they know anything other than cuts?

There is almost no more positive news to arrive from this company. I can’t even remember when a good business move was made. All we hear now are layoffs, because they do nothing more than make cuts. If only they could do some good things at the same... — read more

Pandemic as an excuse for everything

Does anyone else believe the layoffs are the result of a pandemic circumstance? It’s such a lame excuse, just as this company is lame. If the pandemic hadn’t happened, everything would be the same as it is now, I’m sure of it. I am surprised that... — read more

Who else was lied to?

It took me less then a month to realize I was lied to at my interview about what my job would entail. I was too scared of losing my job at the time since I left another company to transfer here (I'm an id–t, I know) so I didn't say anything right... — read more

You can call Lumen, with the same terrible core

Rename with a new tagline which no one is convinced. Same terrible products, same terrible service, same terrible Snr management. A cover up to eventually sell off the burden business. Conform and "yes sir" "yes mdm" or out you go. No salary... — read more

Pay stagnates, expectations rise

I understand that the situation in every company is challenging, but it still seems to me that I work a lot more than they pay me. I can’t even complain too much when I know how many people don’t have any job at all, but expectations from workers... — read more 

How did we get here?

It’s not clear to me how we got to the point where this company (left behind somewhere in the past) knows nothing but to give layoffs and do failed acquisitions. Literally just that. In my opinion, such a company has no future, but I hope I am wrong... — read more

Thankful for the advice from colleagues

When I first started I was told to do 3 things. 1.) Grow my skill set. 2.) Develop & grow a network. 3.) Save for future impending layoffs. I was pretty green at the time but I took the guidance from people who have been around the block a time... — read more

Laid off yet?

Or are you one of those clinging to the Hope that somehow CTL/Lumen will rise above the ashes in the new world? Note that name and the slash? Remember the last time this happened? Sprint dumped us like a hot potatoe. Just like Lumen is getting ready... — read more

Become A Whistleblower At Lumen

Lumen finds it less messy to put corporate shills like CF in to remove any threats from whistleblowers. Evidence is already gotten. He will be answering in court.

Accustomed to the BS

How many of us have become used to the way things are done here? I am numb from the multiple layoffs we’ve had over the years and I don’t even blink an eye when I am denied yet another raise. I am used to the lack of vision our company has and have... — read more

So here we have it while rest of us suffer

The estimated Net Worth of Jeffrey K Storey is at least $61.1 Million dollars as of 23 May 2019. Mr. Storey owns over 50,000 units of CenturyLink stock worth over $35,640,011 and over the last 4 years he sold CTL stock worth over $8,180,856.

Remember when?

Remember the time when this company at least attempted to treat us right? Because even that is no longer true. We’ve come to a point where we are “rewarded” with slap in the face bonuses and little to no raises. We are given metrics that are... — read more

October """RIFS"""

Reduction in Force. Only corporations as careless as this one systematically fire people weeks before the holiday season during a pandemic.
