I hope the employees that have lost their jobs are able to find gainful employment quickly. It is unfortunate that employees are the ones that lose their jobs due to the decisions of those in power. Windstream should have stayed in their area of expertise ( The consumer business). The Enterprise business appears to have been a struggle for Windstream to get moving in the right direction. I wish them well but feel that if things do not turn around you will see new leadership again. FTR is in a similiar situation. I hope Windstream is purchased by a company that can turn this ship in the right direction.
Agreed, @OtoWckv-1cjx. This was a gamble that did not pay off in the end. And now the employees are paying for it.
