I didn't really want to go but the handwriting was on the wall in my opinion. I seriously doubt that there will ever be a buyout offered by this company again. I wonder what will happen to the union contracts? Does anyone have any insight on this? I... — read more
Aurelious Responds to TT and WIN
I can’t believe the CEO of WIN has not been shown the door. 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... — read more

4q earnings now pushed back to March 18th. Real show of leadership there TT. Run and hide for another month to avoid facing the music. Hopefully by the time the 18th of March gets here the results will be provided by another CEO.

So What's Going to Happen? Some Possible Conclusions
Lot's of questions, not a lot of answers. One thing is certain,. Aurelius will want to be paid ASAP. They win in all scenarios regardless, just a matter of timing. Every day that goes by reduces their annualized return on this bet. February 25th is... — read more
Something to consider
Forget management - WIN has such a bad overall reputation, a number of hiring managers I've spoken with recently have indicated they want nothing to do with anyone from WIN... Let that sink in for a minute as you scramble for your LinkedIn profiles.
Not a bad idea to start looking for a job now?
Maybe we should have thought about this earlier, given that the writing was on the wall for quite some, but the fact is that this situation can’t end in a good way and that there will be major cuts. If you ask me, it’s not a bad idea to update our... — read more
Best way to save money?
Cut upper management. Fewer people laid off, best results achieved. Plus, they're the ones who got us into this mess in the first place. There, problem solved.

Best job alternatives?
Where are people applying for jobs these days that actually gives a chance to an employee who is close to his fifties? And that offers a pay at least close to matching what he is bringing to the table? It's obvious that Windstream is done, so I don't... — read more
Vacation
One has stated that this time if a layoff happens no severance will be given. What will happen with vacation time? Will we get it, or will Tony try to take that away too? I thought that our vacation would be promised to us, but I know bankruptcy may... — read more

People keep saying Criminal charges are coming? What was criminal?
Give me a law they broke? Its not criminal to be a bad CEO. I don't understand the multiple comments saying people will be going to jail. You can't goto jail because you bankrupt your company as cfo or ceo.
