You never hear stories of people who have been and still here at windstream for 19 years and do not do anything and think they're entitled to just sit around and get paid. There are plenty and are not mgmt, IMO that's the core problem of this company. They're to loyal to those who have been around. We're in the business to make money, not chit chatting. I wish mgmt would weed out the weak but i heard the firing process is hard. For the person in this post, your lack of skill is your own fault, dont pin that on windstream. You should have realized it when you were at Windstream and worked on it to prepared you for what you're dealing with now.
That's another issue, people get comfortable and refuse to evolve and learn anything new but yet expects a huge raise smh.
For the person with the 4 year degree, you're doing it all wrong, if you want a job within the tech field, get a few respected certification within the sector, dont blame it on Windstream. People lack the effort to improve themselves nowadays outside of work and expects their employer to pay for everything. I get job offers daily only because i have multiple certifications and see finding another job very easy if i choose to do so.
I will say, within my circle at Windstream, we've only let go of people who produce very little.
