Most of this stuff on here is BS from people that no longer work at WS. If you don’t have anything TRUE about the company and layoffs stop posting dumb junk nobody wants to read. No one cares about your speculations.

I mean act in the sense of updating our CV’s and start looking for new jobs. If the writing on the wall wasn’t clear before, it sure as hell is clear now. The way I see it there are two scenarios, with both of them not being favorable towards the... — read more 

Like for yes, comment for no. LOL!!! Have a great weekend.

We can speculate all we want, but we don’t know what’s coming. We do know a change is coming down the pipe. My only fear is did this event trigger default on any other bond issues?

I think TT and the board owe shareholders an explanation for his compensation raises bonuses and continued tenure. His performance tanked and the company lost almost two billion dollars in shareholder value and he was kept on, and worse, rewarded. He... — read more

The worry is over Half of everyone is getting walked Out. Windstream will officially have no support and a sales team with no chance in hail of winning any deals.

Someone seriously needs to send this link to everyone in the company. From what I’m hearing not many people actually understand or believe what is going on. I’m sure it’s a s---c-de bomb, but come on. It would be epic, would it not???

Windstream reminds of an old Metallica song. Just put in Windstream. Anger, mysery thats what Windstream has done to me. Bahaha

Good job TT

That's a law firm first lien lenders are working with now. They apparently had a call last night to discuss matters. Windstream is working with restructuring firm Kirkland & Ellis. Bankruptcy filing likely imminent.

Windstream is done. Any solution they try to implement will for sure focus primarily on major layoffs, which will backfire majorly in the long run. There is no scenario in which Windstream comes out on top in all of this. People need to realize that... — read more

Hey sales team this website needs bandwidth on demand cloud connect

We take no pleasure in Windstream's resulting financial predicament. Windstream could easily have averted it – first by not playing fast and loose with its noteholders in 2015, hoping nobody would hold the company to account, and second by settling... — read more

For you people who didn’t want to be honest on the last survey? Would you recommend Working at Windstream to your family or friend? Would you recommend Windstream product or services? (New Question) Does the executive team communicate honestly?

Listen, it's NOT easy to start a job search, especially if you've been at a position in WIN for 10+ years. I left WIN over a year ago, but I keep tabs on this company because I've got a lot of friends that still work here, and I'm concerned for them... — read more
