I was a CO Tech and they walked three of us out at the same time. Gave us like an 80 page document and we had 45 days to sign it saying we agreed to their 1 year non compete clause and no working for a contractor for six months, and laughably, that... — read more 

Is there an employer out there that treats its employees worse than CenturyLink? I’ve worked for a variety of companies in my nearly three–decade–long career and I haven’t seen anything remotely as bad as this place. And it takes some effort to be... — read more 

What's so enhanced from the old Premise Technician title from a few years, if you look at the pay $18–24/hr. Coming to a legacy Qwest Market very soon !!!! What a joke folks

Colorado CWA is a complete joke! They haven’t protected us or negotiated a fair contract in years. They did sell the union hall because they aren’t collecting enough dues because people keep getting laid off and leaving the company because there is... — read more 

Been looking at this site for awhile. Spoke to friends I work with. Moral in Colorado is down big time. I went to the CWA website to see if there was any comment from them. Last officer update was last May?? Last reported grievance was addressed in... — read more 

Does anyone know the policy for layoff in areas not represented friend got walked out today but his paperwork says he has 45 days to sign an agreement? They gave him a check and said bye.

So all of a sudden in a morning meeting, the MRO wants to know, have any of you heard of the layoff.com site and is anyone commenting there? Nobody says a word. Then, someone says, why do you ask? Oh, no reason. Hmmm..right.

Any word on when Clink will be sold off or just close up shop?

Have heard of layoffs everywhere but not Colorado

The company no longer has any comparative advantages on the basis of which it could attract professionals such as those it has driven away or lost through its disregard for employees in general. They laid off a top expert who selflessly shared... — read more 

How accommodating is HR to help resolve some post-layoff dilemmas? I saw here that someone says that he did not get almost any help from HR. Well that’s really a shame and despite everything I can’t believe this company has fallen so low. Has this... — read more 

Anyone have info on these Cameras?

I'd accept an offer in a heartbeat, which of course means I didn't receive one. Do we know what was the criteria used to determine who gets it? Is it based strictly on location, department, years, or something else? Would it be a good idea to... — read more 

Definition: a made up term used by Unions to keep their members paying dues.

This is golden 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

How generous is the company when it comes to severance pay? How satisfied are you? Can severance pay be negotiated here?

Really awful. Did it happen to anyone else that they got laid off shortly after they got the bonus??? It’s my fault that I thought the bonus meant some security, so I was unprepared for the layoff. That’s what they do, give people bonus so that... — read more 

I hate how few details there are about the ongoing layoffs. Any chance somebody here knows what's getting hit today? I know for a fact there are more layoffs happening right now but I can't find where. I think they do this on purpose - making sure we... — read more

How many employees company wide were cut today?

Automation is inevitable, that much is clear, they want to get rid of employees in every way. I’m interested in how fast do you think automation is happening here? It seems to me that they are working on it more and more, although I have friends who... — read more

Have your resume ready. Lumen wants to quit being an ILEC. They want our of the consumer and small business markets.

More bad news coming Thursday. A lot more.

Do you think that this company isn't looking for innovative ways to eliminate Union employees? I have never, in 24 years, had an unsatisfactory monthly evaluation. I have numerous accommodations from upper management and I am one of maybe a dozen... — read more 

My question for techs who were given notice, how were you notified? Which way? Also interested in whether you had the opportunity to negotiate severance pay? Some say it’s possible, while others claim it's not. I’m debating whether I should even... — read more 

To me, this kind of management, how this company is managed, is a total wreck. My personal opinion is that someone intentionally wants to destroy it. I can’t explain such horrible management otherwise. Is it possible that it can’t be any better, that... — read more

Is StarLink shutting down Lumen providing consumer DSL in rural America? Looks like it. Lumen isn't selling anything. We have to support legacy technology with no tech support. There is no morale. No management to speak of. So what gives? It just... — read more 

What motivation do we have to do more and better? I worked harder than ever and what did I get in return? Nothing. I would have fared much better if I had given a minimum of myself. At least I wouldn’t be totally burned out now. All the credit for... — read more 

Ok, I accept that an STI payout of 93% is better than a sharp stick in the eye; but c'mon!!!! What a freekin' joke!!!! What this company spends money on is laughable.... Millions on "rebranding" (still trying to figure the logic on that... — read more

Supposedly, the bonus payout is being announced today. With the terrible financial results, as reported, this may be the first year that a bonus is NOT paid out.... yes, it's happened before when it used to be Level3. Any bets?

No money to fix the plant. Lets spend 5million on cameras to put in company vehicles.

There is almost no more positive news to arrive from this company. I can’t even remember when a good business move was made. All we hear now are layoffs, because they do nothing more than make cuts. If only they could do some good things at the same... — read more
