@OP Checkout out?
@1cv What is it exactly you don't comprehend? Maybe someone on this site can Lumen Enlighten you?
OP do you have better comprehension on the job, or is this just you all the time?
10/1/2026 - Yeah this one was brutal. But they did hire another couple of executives though. At the rate they are going, they should have more upper management then actual regular line employees. Dare to layoff!! Wonderful.
I'm off the train in December. Retiring. Its been fun.
@aa How ironic, 10/1/2023 and 10/1/2026. The KJ team have really set the bar for executing such cutting edge business strategies.
@a8 I think that was the point of the OP....@ Lumen layoffs are never over, it's a business strategy that keeps enough cash flowing to the C level execs. Oh, and don't forget Brene Brown, what a treat she and her Dare to Lead is. I think having that training on my resume is really going to allow me to stand out in my job search since I was also shown the exit door.
@b5 Public Sector Sales and Mgt and CE and SE
I hear alot of the voice teams are being let go, along with a few others in Service delivery
Well, it is ironic because they actually did a round of layoffs today. I know because I was one of the people that lost their job.
The workforce reduction is anticipated to be "substantially completed" by the end of the fourth quarter of 2023.
Do better.
Lumen has fewer employees now anyways
Try harder. That article is old.
It's from 2023.
No doubt, in alot of people's minds, that layoffs will be a part of the ongoing transformation to an AI centric business.
Tour link however is 3 yrs old:
" In response to this plan, Lumen anticipates incurring severance and related costs in the range of $55 to $65 million, according to a filing from the company. The workforce reduction is anticipated to be "substantially completed" by the end of the fourth quarter of 2023."
Be better at fear mongering
Nothing like 3 year old news: The workforce reduction is anticipated to be "substantially completed" by the end of the fourth quarter of 2023.
@OP this article looks like its from 2023.
