I can't believe they continue the same path day in and day out. This is a telecom remake of Ground Hog Day. October 1st locks in the bargained employees 2024 PTO if they decide on a surplus in the 4th quarter. In reality they really need to trim... — read more

Last week we saw $1.60, but we're swirling around the bowl today... $1.39 USD −0.11 (down 7.33%)

We don't even sell DSL in my state anymore. Nothing.

I don't think the company will offer any VSP's if they do headcount reductions. I think they will lay off first.

So when an organization is looking to upgrade network circuits, migrate to AWS/GOOGLE/AZURE Cloud, or needs any number of other service offerings that Lumen could sell them, why would a seasoned IT executive put their organization at risk and their... — read more

Sounds like all reqs are frozen. We all know what comes next.

Lumen Technologies’ creditor advisors are said to have signed NDAs to discuss a debt extension and inject fresh cash. The potential investment would be less than $1 billion.

Yes, Lumen dropped the word telecommunications when they changed names. So, are we (still) in competition with these (few) communications companies?: CHTR - Charter $449.37 (share) TMUS - T-Mobile $143.12 APO - Apollo/Brightspeed $91.17 CMCSA -... — read more 

Never have I ever seen a CEO grovel at the feet of attendees and throw out job offers to people from the stage. At least she admitted that a number of her past roles were failures and that basically there many failures she's made in her 10 months at... — read more 

Who was our c-suite exec that got canned today?

Why won't Kate Johnson tell us how bad it really is at Lumen Technologies? Is a RIF around the corner? Is Lumen beyond saving? Stock su-ks. Nothing is being sold. All travel is canceled where I work. Who will turn out the lights at Lumen?

Kate can smoke hope all day long but in the end she and her team are proven losers and Wall Street has declared them dead people walking. What a s$it show!!!

I was curios if what's happening to at&t is what's already happened to century link or lumen! I am a technician in construction and engineering at AT&T and I feel we are all headed in same direction but by the looks of it this company is ahead of us... — read more

I see Dare to Lead has been "postponed until 2024" Yet another failed woke initiative to add to the long list!

The SLT has no clue. Everything comes from the top down. No one seeks our input even though we are the front lines. We sell nothing. We install nothing. The competition is cleaning our clock. I have to believe that there will be a force adjustment in... — read more 

Hey Gang! It's time for another survey! No Thanks! Beware, this one does not say it's confidential.

Anybody else notice that they took the stock price off of the new Inside Lumen homepage? I guess if you hide the problem it will help it go away!

Now they’re selling a jet too. Hahahahaha

What does everyone think about what's gonna happen this month?

What if everyone bought 100 shares of stock to pass out on 10/31in lieu of Halloween candy? Could that raise the stock price?Your thoughts?

Are there no new service offerings to talk about? Instead, there is a press release on Microsoft CoPilot. Really?

Anyone else get tired of Kate’s celebrity schtick? It feels like whether it’s on inside Lumen, LinkedIn, or any other platform, everything has to be some kind of photo op and politician type quote. Is it too much to ask that the CEO just do their... — read more

When's the last time you received a pay raise?

I guess Nate didn’t make the cut, that new role only lasted a couple of months. It’s almost like field operations is a disaster.

Things are slow. We are not selling much. When was the last time you saw Lumen announce a major win? When was the last time you saw any capital projects in your area? Is a reduction in force coming? Will Lumen be offering a VSP? Thoughts? — read more

Rumors have started about September layoffs. Is there any truth to that?
