Thread regarding Windstream Corp. layoffs

Anything bu IT affected?

Is it just IT being affected by layoffs today or other departments are being hit as well?

I feel bad for folks in IT - I hear numbers of those cut are high - but I'm sitting on pins and needles here, so if somebody could reassure me and say it's IT focused, I'd be really grateful.
