Apparently all of SMB and ERC (except for the Elite NOC) will be getting outsourced. Transport is getting outsourced to Mexico and Voice to India. I haven't heard about where ERC and SMB Data will be outsourced. I believe ERA is getting outsourced to the Dominican Republic. I've heard that management quietly offered training positions to a few people in ERC to sign NDAs, go overseas, and train their replacements. Obviously, this backfired and some of the techs who were offered this role told other people in the ERC about it before giving their two weeks' notice.
Repair is a trial by fire in many ways. My advice to anyone still in Repair is to learn as much as possible and use that knowledge to transition to something different, whether inside or outside of Windstream. Otherwise you will increasingly been asked to do more than less. Modern corporate culture in America makes just about anyone below the top executives expendable, but this is especially true in Repair. If you're already an asset to Repair then get out now. You've got to look out for yourself.
