Don’t give up yet Windstreamer’s. I truly don’t thinks it’s that bad although their will be layoffs in certain departments because the business is changing at a fast pace.

lol stay positive lol
Have a wonderful Friday - This is true but I've worked at several companies and the same things happen everywhere. People wonder why our economy isn't what it once was? We do not reward hard work and intelligence. Instead we reward friends and a nice set of T&A.
This company is in serious financial trouble. Should have cleaned house at the top first. It’s a shame to see so much talent walking out the door and many being laid off. WS has a bad name and that is extremely difficult to turn around. So very hard to stay positive when you see everything crumbling all around you. Work being moved to people already overburdened, new hires coming in while people with years of expertise are being forced out, no raises, horrible morale. Just don’t see the positive.
The reason I think most have lost the positive vibe is the lack of morale that no longer exists within this company. Look beyond the layoffs. There is such extreme nepotism and favoritism that you could lose count when trying to lay out how some people have been passed over for such opportunities.
People I know, myself included, have applied for multiple positions within this company. My friends and I have applied for so many positions. We are all qualified to work these positions. I have been with this company for many years, and when I ask why I did not get an interview, or the position in general, I get this stupid excuse that states that I had not been with the company long enough. The people who do get hired are the friends of the directors and the supervisors. People get passed over, and the ones who get picked are basically promised positions. How is a person who has worked for the company multiple years, has gotten great evaluations, and has helped with multiple projects to compete with the person who was friends with the boss, or on the boss’ old team? You could easily state that maybe if you work harder then you could make it happen, but how hard must you work to make that happen.
I love what I do with Windstream. My team is like my second family, and my supervisor is amazing, but every time I see a position that I fancy and apply for I know it is a loss cause because I know that I will not get an interview, or get the job. I am stuck where I am at, and I do get angry. I know I may be too good for what I do, but I love what I do.
Just don’t get on there and state that people need to be optimistic because people have lost their faith. I am not saying that these people are demanding their dues, but these people deserve to be given opportunities for interviews and promotions. These people are hard workers and know this company back and forth, but they get a thanks for all you do, and that is about it. You have to understand that people who witness that firsthand can lose faith in their workplace and want it to fail. I think some people on this site are disgruntled because no matter what they do they can never catch a break with this company. The same people get promoted and recognized, and other more qualified people get left in the tracks.
Sorry for the rant, but I felt that I wanted to get it off my chest. I have never posted on this site before. Thanks for reading, and thanks for listening. We will get through this together.
Hahahah That guy below me is drunk. Of course - read level3 century link.. .read frontier.. read all you want - their numbers aren't quite as bad as ours. I think you just aren't reading the right information.
Yeah the doom and gloomers over in the att board think they’re going under too. The end isn’t near. Maybe in 5 or 10 years if positive changes aren’t made.
Really? We have $10 million left in the bank and we are overleveraged by 300%. We are focked! Quit drinking the coolaid and read the numbers of the business. Are next earnins report will be out soon and you shall all see.
