Thread regarding Lumen Technologies layoffs

Insanity

The last 3 days have been utterly absurd. The most unprofessional rif email ever, the earnings call, loss of 40% stock price.

Things are coming apart at the seams and the leadership team does nothing but toss around buzzwords and put on an act.

It’s utter chaos and there’s not one adult in charge.

Chaos is an understatement. They said the only asset is its people. They decimated the leadership, that know how to run the business.
Everybody’s been scrambling only to find out their leadership was removed with no replacement. This makes a the exit the US military did from Afghanistan and Vietnam look good. The board and especially Kate Johnson should be held accountable. Many of these services are regulated, and there should be an investigation, the event, danger of the customers which include government, hospitals, and all of us. Not to mention, destroyed the morale of their entire workforce and ended the careers of their most talented people simply shameful

Sorry to read this, OP. At least the stock rose 8% today, for what it's worth.

I no longer work at this Cess pool and now I over doubled my income while I get to watch these clueless liars try to reason their way out of the poor house. Couldn't have happened to a better group of dimwits. I bet they can't even spell leadership...LOL.

They laid me off and now I get the last laugh at all of the clowns running this train wreck. They once tried to convince the rank and file that stock prices do not relay a companies worth... what? Then get rid of the stock market mo--ns... kiss your paychecks goodbye.

I wouldn't know. Today's all hands video call froze repeatedly and I gave up trying to listen. I thought Lumen had all the bandwidth in the world.
