Share thoughts on how to get something entertaining from the quarterly exec self gratification session scheduled for Thursday.
I propose taking a chug of beer everytime EBITDA or Winning is mentioned.
Perhaps the overpaid execs can say in true Arkansasian 'I feel your pain' about stagnant wages and ever increasing inflation!

It stands to reason that wholesale should be profitable, not break-even. So why isn't it?
I wonder if money from wholesale is being used to make enterprise look better. For instance, where enterprise uses wholesale, do they get an extra low internal price? That would make wholesale look worse and enterprise look like a stinker.
The word of the day was “sell”. Kinetic is the only business unit bringing in positive return. Wholesale put up a slide of near 0 increase YOY 21 to 22. Enterprise was a we need to sell, sell, sell. Tony being moderator was perfect synapsis of him being an absolutely useless ceo.
Nothing about inflation, nothing about raises, nothing for the non a$& kissers of company.
Layoffs next week IMO
Man if only we could unionize, a strike from almost any team across department lines (ILEC and CLEC) could really make a difference
45 mins left, no mention on helping employees. Please leave a message if your services are down, I need to work my Door Dash 2nd job to pay the bills. At Windstream we care
We improved by 50 basis points. Uniti gave Windstream 191 million last year. This year they give 0. This was untop of copper replacement funds. Enterprise is down rev, Wholesale just laid some folks off and reshuffled them back in fold so that blunts the kick but winning story kinetic held but yet added 50k in subscribers but with funny math we never know if plus or minus dollars. Behind on colo exits. Still greatest leadership with future focused revolutionary Software powerhouse, cutting edge IT and market changing products. Tony TDM Thomas might talk about Max, a trip, jail, or a book. Layoffs coming end of month
Imagine taking a bonus package for $30M to stay onboard through bankruptcy to "steer the ship" in the right direction. LR5 has to scrape those pennies together everyday!
Anyways, Thursday is more corporate fluff that can be turned into a drinking game.
Here we are YEARS post chapter 11 and never really turned the corner.
