Made 52k yr @ WS. Laid off in Jan now making over 100k.
Place obviously didn’t appreciate talent or skill, just being in the clique and kissing a--. Whatre you waiting on to leave?
The ship

Are there any openings for VP’s? I need a raise!
Windstream's Corporate Motto's REAL meaning
Whenever anyone hears the phrase; Stream On! That simply means that the exec has just said or done something stupid. When said by anyone else, it means they are a submissive bootlicker.
Why are the C-Level Exes Lie
Do you honestly think the employees, past or present are so stupid as not to see that executives are starting threads on here. If you are on any hands on call or read Stream, then you know. This is the level that they will sink to. They say it's not... — read more
I hate what this company has turned into
I used to love working here. Now every day one of the first things I do is check this page to see if there were any new rumors of possible layoffs. How sad is that? Working with no job security is neither good for the employees nor the employer (I... — read more

Stream Post Scrubbing
Looks like the Stream admins are doing some spring cleaning. The NHRA post is missing a lot of comments.
Has Windstream replaced the copper?
Has Windstream replaced all the copper or are they still using it? but merely telling everybody it was replaced.

Voluntary layoffs?
Anybody knows if Windstream ever offers voluntary layoffs? Like many here, I'm tired of having no job security and I'm more than willing to move on, but I'm too scared to do it without some safety net - which would be provided by a severance package... — read more

Lay Off tomorrow??
So my mgr has been behind closed doors for the last 2 weeks,, which is what she cowardly does when a layoff approaches. Will there be a layoff tomorrow 3/1???
Too much IQ, not enough wisdom...
There's some folks on Stream that want to be fired and call it retaliation. Convinced of this. It's hard to wrap your head around I know, but marketing/advertising matter even when your stock has tanked. Every aspect of a business doesn't grind to a... — read more
its quiet
Have the peasant cattle of Windstream settled down and the fear subsided? While they continue to work their mediocre, dismal, underpaid jobs lol?
Why Windstream has failed.
In order to understand the chain of events that have caused Windstream’s current predicament, one must address the recent history of the company; specifically years 2010-2011. In 2009, Windstream was a relatively healthy company with roughly 7.7b in... — read more
2 weeks notice with Windstream
Anyone who has left Windstream and still had remaining PTO and Optional holiday along with Sick Time. Do you get paid for that if you don't use it or do you use it all? Been trying to reach HR about this.

We made the earnings call this morning!
Look, they remembered those of us given the boot on today's earnings call just as expected. My only question is what efficiencies are they taking about because the folks I know that were let go are still sorely needed in their old roles. Also, just... — read more

Feeling safe once again because you didn't get cut?
If you think it's over and you're safe, think again. "competition could end up taking up to 60% {WOW!!!} of Windstream's current customers" "investors are having a hard time buying the growth story that Windstream's leadership is selling" Why... — read more

Hey
Has anyone seen anything happen in the charlotte office
