Thread regarding Lumen Technologies layoffs

Happy Holidays!

The workforce reduction is expected to be "substantially completed" by the end of the fourth quarter of 2023.

So now 30000 employees have to worry and wait to hear if they are one of the 1200. Employee lives on hold for the next 3 months and a bad employee experience. Don't make any big purchases for Christmas.

Someone said they were laid off today. What departments are they letting go? The ceo and executives are cowards and lack the ba--s to be honest so the employees don’t live with stress and unknown. Seriously grow a pair. Please if anyone has information on which departments share. Thanks

I was laid off today. Kick in the teeth for sure… but they locked us out of everything immediately. As if we were fired. So we now have zero resources, can’t access Teams, Outlook, past paystubs, reviews, etc. We have absolutely nothing to assist us in the hunt for the next job. Maybe my vulnerability wasn’t enough to dare to lead or something? lol

Probably a Brene Brown strategy. How many jobs could having saved without that snake oil show? Dare to Lead? How about just lead. If you need some no name author to tell you how, you probably shouldn't.

Wow! I wonder if this is going to be presented by the storyteller. Ron P posted something on Linked that Lumen was voted the best place to work? Delusional much?! How these people sleep at night…

This threat is nothing new. It’s been going on for years during the holidays.

I’m assuming this is a cut for non bargained employees and will not include EMEA as that is being divested tomorrow. Probably closer to 8-10% of the office/remote workforce in the US.

You should learn basic math and reading comprehension. 30k employees globally but layoffs are all coming from US/Canada so smaller pool.

We will use Microsoft spotlight AI to determine which employees will be voted off the island.
