Since no one feels comfortable asking questions during the Town Hall meetings without fear of retribution, maybe a question here will warrant a Stream post or some other response.
The culture at Windstream is sick. People are are angry, bitter, and burned out. Yet, management's only response is to RIF and force us remaining to work more and more without any kind of reassurance things will get better. We see the Culture Committees attempts to create positivity, special groups to make people feel included, but these are superficial. Your absence of real hope in the pep talks is more powerful than what you're saying. We want to work and we want to work hard, but we have no hope of being employed here in 6 months. We fight this fear in our own minds to stay motivated because you lack the ability or desire to inspire.
You have created this sick culture of people willing to work but made less effective because of your tip toeing around what everyone knows and talks about in small groups, but everyone in upper management pretends like isn't happening.
What will you do to help restore the people here or will you continue to ignore the fear you foster by your real silence and continue to apply the plastic facade that you use because you don't really know what you're doing?
