Really not sure why people keep insinuating there'll be layoffs at Windstream on Thursday.
Something happening next week I can see, but did we ever have layoffs on Fourth of July week before?
From what I can recall, no. That is really bad publicity that is easily avoidable right there.
We are safe this week folks.
No wonder why moral is at an all time low. Layoffs are needed just to keep the lights on. But yet all we hear from the fat cats is how great things are running as departments are sending jobs overseas again and having the people left do more and more of the work. Never any accountability at the top , they just keep reading books and model the standards around them. We have no identity anymore and the public hates us. I pity the poor employees that invest their hard earned 401k money in this company. Maybe that's how TLON should be paid by way of windstream stock, nah he would be on food stamps then.
I think this board is also active because not only are we treated in such a way but also alot of us do care, do want to succeed, do like our jobs... Or well did... It is over folks, sit back enjoy the ride if you are riding it till it $hits otherwise if you leave or are finally handed the pink slip that hopefully a better opportunity awaits you. Good luck folks.
The reason this board has so many negative posts is bc it’s a direct reflection of how the employees really feel. They’re kept in the dark and filled with lies. This is the only place we can share what we here.
The management of this company is the bottom of the barrel. They are not good enough to make it else were... If they were they would be gone by now... These idiot clowns that make up the higher levels of management are so blinded by their own ego and supposed power they won't even take the smallest ammount of criticism. The lower levels of management is so imnept either by being beat into submission by superiors or by greed in trying to climb a ladder that doesn't exist. We continue to shoot ourselfs in the foot every day. I pled with the workforce to just leave. They think they can run this ship cheap, let them hang themselves. So much potential wanted. Way to go TT keep feeding them your koolaide, it keeps them dumb and happy. I guess.....
How many planners did WS have?
I remember the infamous ' day before Thanksgiving layoffs '. Special times here at Win :)
I remember them too. Layoffs have been ongoning since I started working at Win in 2008. It never ends
15 planners let go today (18 last Thursday). Verified this with people in dispatch.
Don’t underestimate TLON. TT is the Elon Musk of Telecom.
Its all about pulling the goalie, sounds dirty though.
"That is really bad publicity that is easily avoidable right there."
Stock just fell below $5 AFTER the reverse-split. Wall Street is laughing at WE, and are probably taking bets on the next reverse-split.
Customers are fleeing in droves.
The company has a new/replaced VP for 'name your department' every few months.
Asking about layoffs doesn't even come close to bad publicity - when the executives of this company have no idea of how to run a business, but they do have an idea of how to get raises on their own, and also being clueless on leadership - and yet still can call themselves 'leaders'....That's the BAD PUBLICITY that everyone sees.
They can put lipstick on a pig and call it 'WE' - but shareholders and customers know it is run by the same people, maybe $1 or $2 a share is more appropriate worth of the company because of the leadership...
which planners?
Today is the end for planners
Next Thursday bud. Not this week....

BTW: we all luv ya TT ')
A few mergers ago we had layoffs on the Wednesday before thanksgiving.
Bad publicity?!? LOL you’re joking right?!? This isn’t a job board this is a layoff/rumor site. We can’t get any worse of a name than we have now. JS
