Thread regarding Lumen Technologies layoffs

"Lumen won’t exist in 5 years. I’d put money on that"

Yeah because they will be bought out by someone else (msft, goog, Tmobile, Apollo, etc).
Lumen owns 80% of the conduit in this country. This company is not going out of business by any stretch of the imagination.

@2e4
What do you care? Other than being butthurt about a company you dont work at, seriously, why do you care what other people do with their life? I have my theories but i dont want to make you cry. You do enough of that as it is.

Why not just abandon the Titanic BEFORE it sinks? Watching the life rafts scoot away makes no sense.

PLEASE open EOI to the rest of the company. I sure won't pass up that nugget twice.

Basically if you got a show of interest, Lumen is not keeping you.

Nice knowing you Lumen. This isn’t transformation this is destruction.

Lumen won’t exist in 5 years. I’d put money on that.

@c0 so, don't care, I have skills, will give them to someone else when this fails.

@bk
The ceo doesn’t care. Not going to be her responsibility soon

@bj

You're stuck with Lumen. No job at newco for you.

@OP OMG! Today can't activate eq, can't set WiFi, systems are down, uppers say keep installing we will fix it. This happens all the time, I don't think att knows the sh-t show they are trying to buy... Quantum F up.

@bk CEO is stupid if she is betting on AI that much.

CEO plans to sell off the rest of consumer and SMB, contract out any other field work and transform into the hyperscaler highway which will use AI for planning, operations and capacity management.

@OP So does this explain all of the ECO academy openings?
Forcing the senior employees with the top pay and replace them with new hires with no training and no knowledge?
Oh wait!! Sorry I forgot they can get AI to do the work!! CEO is stupid if she is betting on AI that much.

I didn't receive the email

Oh no. Call the union. Oh wait they can’t do sh-t about it.
