This is my last thanksgiving as an employee. Effectively retiring in January. There’s been many ups and downs throughout the years and friends that have come and gone. Though it’s not the place and environment I started with I’d do it all over again... — read more

What The F*ck
If you know, you know. The question that we've all been asking. Apparently, the CEO too.
Close date
Hearing a rumor they want this deal closed sooner then March 2026. They floated the date of Dec 8. Thoughts? Maybe they want this done before the end of the year.
NetworkCo offers.
Who is taking the offer and who is declining it and why?
Look at all the "awards and Meetings" retracting from results
Notice how after a layoff, the Lumen higher ups like to post about the "wonderful awards" they seem to garner from this group or that group, and directors like to post about "brain storming" sessions with subordinates that they are working on things... — read more

Massive layoffs just started this morning.
Lumen is going to be cash rich
and yet our health care costs are going up above the inflation rate
Union Sloths
Are out there trying to equalize any negative commentary. Just one question: WHY would/does a union withhold pertinent contract information that negatively affects the same personnel they claim to be fighting for? This is what all the less tenured... — read more
Open enrollment 2026
Starting a thread. Medicare retirees will no longer have dental coverage as of next year. Would they try doing this to current employees too?
It looks like all the telecoms are laying off
Talk about a hostile job market for anybody who’s left without a job.
Do not accept the offer!
How they can expect anyone to accept an offer that provides little to no details about your position, your location, the costs of your benefits, the status of your pension, etc is beyond me. I wish I knew their end game, but it all seems shiesty to... — read more

Next round
Do we know when it's coming?
union contract
I was just wondering what would happen if the members voted no on the contract.
AT&T layoffs
Saw this on a Facebook group. Sounds like most of the union that was left in Denver was laid off today but Avaya. December 8th is the last day of payroll for what used to be the NSAC, billing, dispatch, and SOSC.
your retirement account
Principal is having a major outage with no ETA for when you will be able to access your retirement fund.
Update soon?
Uniform ordering was delayed, maybe because we will know our fate soon? AT&T, Network CO, Lumen or layoff?
New Leaders Ops
Has anyone worked with the SVP of Strategic operations and transformation under Enterprise Operations ? If so what has been your experience with him because it seems like he isn’t the best partner around

ATT/Network Co offers.
Union employees, if you get an offer, and decline, you are not guaranteed a job with Lumen. Non union, if you get a job offer and decline, you lose your job.
Cloudy 2.0
OMG I want to go swinging. Great timing.
GTT?
Heard a bunch of folks last month jumped to GTT. Looked at their Layoff.com page and last comment was from 2022…ah…that is what stability is like.
Blowing Smoke
Every single person who posts about coming RIFs are just blowing smoke. You all know nothing. Nothing. You're like those psychics who continue spewing predictions until one of them comes true so you can go, "See?! Seeeee?! I was right!"
