I worked for a company that was purchased by windstream. It was in the NY/CT area. The existing windstream employees made it difficult to fit in. They did as little as possible to train or assist on existing equipment.they would also make negative comments to upper management . I was on my own. Another employee was it the same boat. We were both laid off 2 years ago. It's the best thing that happened in my career. The NY/CT techs and management deserve this failure of a company. They too will eventually be let go.

No union in the area
Sounds like you were in a field service job with a union in the area. That portion of field services can be extremely difficult to work with, and definitely doesn't seem to help out any newly hired techs.
My Dr is looking for new phone service. He asked me about Windstream. I advised him it would be a mistake to go with them. I advised he would be better off paying more and getting a secure company.
I am a former employee. Caught up in a layoff.
They screwed me, I will not recommend them to anybody.
@4miz+1cKelUBU, no I don't wonder why. I know they sorted the employee list by salary, and I was at the top. Just doin what I can to help the rest of you!
sounds like frontier
And you wonder why you got laid off...
Someone from WIN came around my neighborhood and put up signs at the intersections - saying 'Fiber now available' in this area, with a phone number. Being a 25 yr - laid off employee - I promptly drove around and TOOK THEM ALL DOWN! LOL
Making your co worker look bad is job security with windstream . I no longer work there, by choice. I have come across several potential windstream customers and convinced them not to go with windstream. Nothing good about this company.
I had a similar experience. I asked for a list of IP addresses and login credentials. Tech told me I had to compile my own list by going site by site, device by device. Manager laughed and said he couldnt make techs share info…….horrible place to work. Everyone is so afraid of losing their jobs they want co-workers to look bad so they can keep their jobs. They are mentally damaged and Windstream doesnt stand a chance unless they replace all levels of management.
