Thread regarding Windstream Corp. layoffs

The Real Deal

Don't be discouraged with TT slapping you like a work horse. Time has proven that things will only get worse. Now I know it's difficult to move on but you can and will. In this day and age companies are hiring, I see it everyday. Don't think for one second WS has your back. They will slap the backside of the work horse and tell you to move on. It's business from a greedy company. You get nothing while the top gets millions for running it in the ground. If you can't see that then a hard life is expected.

'No jobs are NOT so easy to find, unless you want retail, fast food, serving or call center jobs. Been looking for MONTHS. The competition for good jobs is FIERCE'

Having skills that set you apart from competition matters - but at WE most of the positions/skills that aren't critical have been outsourced - pretty much everyone below the LR5. If that still doesn't make sense, then good luck.

WE still pays some for college tuition/certificates - hint hint

Most opportunities these days seem to be remote, local jobs are still available also.
I also worked on DMS, 5E, CS2K, Genband, metaswitch.

Good luck with your search

Do you always INSULT people on your replies? FYI I have skills in a couple of different careers, and worked on ALL the phone networks, regardless of type. Maybe job opportunities are better in your area. Check yourself; rude assumptions are NOT appreciated!

Come On Man....have you not seen the message about getting any warm bodies to join windstream NO GED OR HIGHSCOOL Diploma required?!
A referral bonus of up to 2k also possible. I am a bit embarrassed to still be working here since the requirements are lower than working at McDonald's

Sounds like you don't have any skills that are in demand. Do you support the TDM or ATM network?

Just..... GET OUT!!!

If you can't find a better job with all these job openings in better companies - you probably aren't trying enough. Easier to complain here and afraid to make a better career change?

If you are still there after the CEO/LR5 stomped, dragged you and your co-workers through the gutter after 'coming out' of Chapter 11 - and you still don't want to leave?

The thing that makes me laugh about this company is the greedy lower level management minions they’ve created. These area and local managers are so eager to please the top five, they’ll choke themselves at the end of their chains just for a scrap of L5 table droppings.
