I'm so tired of waiting and so tired of stressing over this. If I find out I'm laid off it'll be hard but at least I'll know where I am and what I need to do. Right now, it feels like I'm stuck in limbo. No idea what's happening and no idea what my next move should be. No wonder my blood pressure is sky-high.

Just took the last and final Package and loving it! What a stress reliever. Thank god it came around again. Personally my timing was spot on. However layoffs will proceed this last package offer. Guaranteed. I feel for you 30-40 something yr olds. Keep up so date with your data skills, resume and spare tools if the trade. Good luck as I ride off into retirement bliss!😁😎🤪😏🇺🇸
Welcome to the way of life at CTL!!!! Or should I say Level3....
I was laid of twice and will never go back . It s amazing because in my job I must have saved the company a lot of money , when you are responsible for millions of dollars of fiber optic circuits and you fix the problems , on call in the middle of the night but in the end they don't care what you did in the past or a week ago .
A Level 3 employee once told me. Level3 was known as the layoff company.
