Thread regarding Lumen Technologies layoffs

the best way to splice copper is with wire nuts...

Retired in 2029 after 26 years best move ever spent 1 glorious year Retired.
Accepted 1 of many offers to contract splice copper for 3k + per week.
Awesome pick when where I want to work. All work so far has been for zippy.
Oh the joy of being respected and appreciated for knowledge and allowed to do job correctly.
Anyone still in this hellhole competent in copper you are in demand and will be paid and respected.
Lots of construction and road moves requiring copper expertise although there is not a lot of copper service left what there is needs to be dealt with like we did in the day.
Darn few of us left who care and can do it copentently. Those who will can are valued and will be paid.
Make calls network get out your BP and stress level will thank you.

My husband just left after over 15 years, I'm still hanging on but will be one of the ones to go to Brightspeed and I can't wait!!

Lumen can't even update their database,we continue to bill customers 3 times in one month. We move from a 13 digit acounts to 9 digits & doing that cause a really bad effect on auto pay. Surprise you have a bill for $400 because we drop your auto pay without telling you. What a joke and embarrassing company.

"After 21 years I quit, couldn’t stomach another day. Went to work for the competition got a 25% raise. The union is worthless"

Who's the competition? Not questioning what you say but let the rest of us know where you got a 9 dollar an hour raise?

After 21 years I quit, couldn’t stomach another day. Went to work for the competition got a 25% raise. The union is worthless

my boss quit a couple weeks ago, and his boss is leaving in about a week.

I think my new boss is quitting soon. He's not getting it, and in every meeting he says he may not be here long. He won't be missed.

Good info thanks.
