Uniti stock touched $4.00 today. It looks like wall street was not buying what KG was selling in the earning call. Only 5 months ago it was at $12.75 on buyout rumours.

ILEC business is getting gutted. What happened to “We Win Because We’re Local”? Our company has lost its soul.

Fiber > Copper Uniti > Windstream Today > Yesterday Tomorrow Looks Amazing

What did you buy your employee shares for? Ugh. Starlink doesn’t need a fiber line…like cell towers. Cell towers might become the next Fixed Wireless Internet ..too expensive to maintain…..who knows what the future holds.. Starlink putting a data... — read more 

Any RIF news in the grapevine?

Everyone will be a VP soon. The org chart is bloated with VP's and the VP's themselves are bloated. Talent gets you nowhere in Telecom management especially in Uniti/Windstream culture. About 75% of all VP's are crony appointments and the others... — read more 

Has there been any news about the employee survey? That happened over three months ago and then crickets.

Any grumblings about more cuts or people leaving?

That's all this latest rumor is about. You buy a company, you get a chance to get rid of redundant positions, and somehow the number of such positions is always huge. As if not all of them are redundant, but were somehow marked as such because, why... — read more 

The rumors are legit. Talks ongoing for Uniti to acquire Fidium.

anyone else hearing that merger rumor?

Anyone else get the social media refresher. That's the funniest thing they've put out in a while. Says to report any violations, but to who. FL has a director that got demoted from manager to engineer for posting a racial comment. What was the end... — read more 

John Harrobin is a total charlatan. Knows nothing except how to cut prices to gain volume. A Monkey could do that. Zero marketing skills and a nepotist to boot. He will be the undoing of.our company.

What is our future here? CLEC cannot sell new logos…Kinetic Business is just moving cups within the existing base. What is our future here? Hard to see it working out.

Just awful!

Are they still here?

You can tell how disconnected management is from the company and how they never actually talk to people. They get on a meeting and just spew like everything is great. Soon as you address issues they turn a blind eye because it requires them to do... — read more 

Wonder if DO is bringing any more people that Frontier wanted to can. He brings over these people that sit there and say Hi to a team one time. Be like im going to be engaged once a month and then you never see them again. Oh look another meeting... — read more 

There has a been a interesting string of posts here about how morale is improving at Uniti. If that is true how do you explain the falling employee ratings on glassdoor? It has shrank over the last year to 3.0 out of 5. That's the lowest of any major... — read more 

Kinetic Business is thriving like never before. The group here now is quite simply the best there is, was and ever will be!

Kinetic - Consuner and Business - is doing great. Leadership is strong and supportive. People in sales are happy. Not sure why the negativity here.

"If business demand requires hiring, what's the justification for layoffs? A balanced workforce strategy is important."

In Twinsburg Ohio last week a Uniti Boring Crew struck a gas line they later claimed was incorrectly located by a 3rd party locating company. So far nobody believes them...

Uniti is on the path to being the most poorly run company in history. They now are looking for new vice presidents in many departments because they have laid off so many and lost so much revenue they are now in panic restructure while looking to sell... — read more 

On Glassdoor, when you go to reviews, the entire first page of latest ones are negative. Good. People are waking up to what this place really is and warning others about it.

Rules for thee, not for me….. seems to be the mindset around this place. But I guess when trying to get the union to decert, everything is fair game on the company side. Had a tech get fired for not telling the truth, because it violated the... — read more 

More layoffs are coming, they recently took away all the company vehicles from the door-to-door teams and replaced it with a $300 a month stipend and no mileage reimbursement. And if you factor that in with all the stupidity that has happened with... — read more 

Waiting any day now to get the call to be RIF. That’s all I want. Come on DO bring over more failed Frontier people. What’s holding you back DO?

Looks like employees manager level and below will have to start logging their activities for a “time study.”

It is hilarious watching all the smoke being blown about Kinetic winning all these women’s workplace awards…. Where are all these Women at in President and CEO roles? That is where it should be visible… otherwise it’s just a feel good smoke screen…

The ceo said for months that layoffs would be complete "by 1Q." Instead layoffs continue well into 2Q and cmo said on kinetic call yesterday that layoffs are a good thing so we don't become bloated like kodak. The foundation has been put down for... — read more 

Looks like the company’s effort to union bust backfired again. Preying on all the new construction guys and new techs might have worked in NC, but failed horribly in FL. Over 80% of votes were to keep the union. JS is now 0-2 in his efforts!

Even the cheese did not stand alone this week.

So here we are thursday and what nothing? I mean there is one more next week but still.

Looking at new directors and senior directors for consumer, direct, and channel for Kinetic. 6 out of 7 are an easy find on LinkedIn from Frontier. It's shocking at how much new upper management folks are from Frontier.
