Thread regarding Windstream Corp. layoffs

So how can the bulk of the workforce influence the criditors (and subsequently Judge) as oppose to the few that are obviously being g bought off? I have seen the rumors that the creditors are relying on TT and company to push the ' it was a financial arrangement, not a true lease' argument.

If the creditors don't object, you can expect the judge to approve since it's spending their money.

The creditors did not object, although the US Trustee did.

See earlier comments about how the creditors may be interested in having the execs in a good mood when they testify during the Uniti hearings in March.

What....this same judge is ruling on that travesty......and in favor of crooked evil excutives no less. MORE TO COME.
FIX THIS NOW

Dont forget the victims of the Oxycodone company.....Purdue pharma and how a few overdoses ( ok actually a lot) should not stop executive bonuses either. COUNT ME IN

I bet some old SEARS emplyees might want to join. Perhaps reviewing the Judges past casework and decsions will grow the movement....rather quickly I suspect

That is a serious question Judge! How do suggest regular folks deal with such a one side system? Frankly I DO NOT want to bend over and take it anymore from such an unfair and single sided 'justice's system that rewards the bad and punishes the decent. Perhaps a 'ME TOO' type protest in front of the courthouse to start if that is what it takes to start the talk!

Losing my ability to keep my temper under control.....any suggestions from judge drain

Key note is that 2020 plan is 87'd right after reorganization is settled on. Lil T and time share crew get 1 qtrs worth of bonus treasure. Big Tex and 99 more get 1 qtr of Kerp. In April hopefully get to see majority of them given walking papers. Judge is blind of facts imo. These folks wouldn't secure employment close to level and pay they get.

Judge issued orders today approving KEIP and KERP for 2020.

There is a medical description for the executive's behavior that fits them to a T. but everytime the specific mental disease is named the posts are taken down.
To the LR5......the first step to wellness is admitting the truth! Are you really proud of prospering off the pain of others? Do you even understand why so many are angry? Look at the answer to the CTO's math quiz post. Your income growth has greatly exceeded inflation while most Windstreamers are losing to inflation big time.
Windstreamers have right to be angry at the executives, BoD and the courts. When a company cannot keep employee wages merely in step with inflation they are surely going under regardless of any rah rah.

Sure, they get millions while I collect unemployment due to last layoff. SCUMBAGS, rot in hell

@Twinsburg Station is right...partly...

I sit out of the Twinsburg station. I had a heart to heart talk with my IT director, SB. She told me that:

(Don't laugh everyone)

'TT said he was committed to keep EVERYONE working through 2020' (He meant just the executive team of course)

I have no reason to doubt her.
(But was she correct in predicting the company would file for Chapter 11 last year? She probably told you the company was on its way back up? Did she still have stock in the company like a loyal director is supposed to??)

I think this doom and gloom talk is just that, "talk" I would tell everyone that before you believe these negative posts to please sit down with your manager and get the facts!
(Has anyone even seen their manager the last 6 months??? Are you sure that wasn't just some AI you were talking with on the phone??)

The judge is same one who allowed Sears to be pilliaged during BK. All executives will have a bounty when they get kicked to curb. The 100 B level con artists will also collect. The worker bees will be whacked to achieve bonus and get hit when executives get replaced

I suspect Mr. Twinsburg’s periodic posts are satire. (Although he or she may actually have a boss that trying to peddle that line).

Enjoy that money you f'ing douche bags. I hope they all get investigated by the feds before this is all said and done. They can all burn in hell for putting the majority of us out of work while they sit back and get their bonuses for their hard work at running the company into the ground and sending the jobs to mexico and india. TT, you and your cronies are getting a 1 finger salute from me, you f'ing pr*cks!

Layoffs WILL be epic regardless - Can you say B-A-N-K-R-U-P-T-C-Y ?
See dictionary.com -
Words related to bankrupt
insolvent, destitute, broke, failed, lacking, lost, exhausted, spent, ruined, impoverished
Funny how ALL those apply to Windstream.
LOL - Glad I am out of there. Get your heads out of the sand and do the same.

This post leaves me wondering who the biggest fool is?

@ Twinsburg station

Maybe you need to sit down and READ and understand the financials. We are losing millions every month, we pay out more that we take in. We have too much over head and cannot continue to operate as a company in that manner. Salaries and benefits are the biggest expense to a company and there is one way to save them, DOWNSIZING. If you think are safe because someone in leadership told you that you are dead wrong.

He guaranteed you 11 months more employment and thats it......and you took that as a positive?

They’ve got to get paid now.

thought they was looking to save 10 million this year but instead lets hand 19 million to these head wigs n try to save 10 million somewhere else, good ideas for some c-appy leaders

What goes around comes around...

What happened about the SEC, investigation for stock manipulation?

What happened to the criminal investigation by the the FBI, for investor fraud?

Or the on going investigation for 911 violations for compliance failure year after year by the FCC.

Well I guess it is still business as usual.

la fin du monde vent courant

No cost of living increase for those that break their backs for this company. No job security. Worst health benefits in the industry. And the very people that ran the company into the ground are generously rewarded with lottery type checks. We need to send a message, organized call outs perhaps

Nothing to see here. Business as usual.

I just find it typical. Even when destroying a company, crooked execs will still get theirs while they send thousands to the unemployment line. They truly don’t care one bit despite the dog and pony show they put on.

Its insane......eventually this sort of greedy behavior will catch up top them. Does anyone know where these people eat dinner. Perhaps causing a vocal ruckus at a restaurant ranting at these people in a vocal manner will hit the news and expose this situation to the public.
Once it does the BOD and Courts will have some explaining to do as well. But until then it is mostly just internal hurt for us unworthy Windstreamers to endure.
