Debt Ridden Acquisitions

People keep complaining about the debt ridden companies that Winstream is buying.. You do know that Earthlink - though in a bad spot - was making HUGE strides. What did we get out of the merger? Lower stock value... Why do you think ELNK, at just a fraction of the size of Winstream, was able to command a 49% share in the merger?

Winstream was messed up before ELNK got here... Winstream benefits are crappy too.. I'm not sure a shove to find a new job is such a terrible thing.

How long will it be before Windstream is bought / merged? ... by the finances.. not long.

So many good people have been let go.. both new and long time employees. The problem is E level management.

We do not market our products. We spend so much money putting infrastructure in the ground, and then get a 30% taje rate, if we are lucky. Some potential customers do not even know who Windstream is, and here we are the ILEC. That is sad. Sales people sit on their fat butts and expect techs and engineers to give then leads instead of going out to the field and knocking on doors and making a sale.

OIBTA, FCF, CM, etc. For the love of god, it's not just about debt. Educate yourselves please. Like seriously, educate yourselves, it'll save you a lot of stress :)

I echo @cxv - jump the ship while you can. The management is lost.

How many hosted Voip providers did they buy? Too many. W is doomed. Management doesn't know what it is doing. Jump ship. Its better and more lucrativ. Anywhere else.

They are running out of ideas about how to organically grow our business. Now, all that they have left is to acquire.

It's a bad way to run business.
