Thread regarding Lumen Technologies layoffs

Let’s not forget…

Let’s not forget that late last year Kate “invested “ 1 million dollars of her own money when Lumen stock hit under $1…

I mean… she still making 300k in the stock market… no blister in her heel yet…
I guess if my salary was 4Mill/year and I had a disposable million I would also be cheering and saying things will be fine…

"Look at the landscape. During the past 18 months, when would DTL principles and behaviors EVER have made a difference in any of this? What happens when you “rumble” upward in this environment? - You are a dissenter and not on board."

Absolutely correct. If you "rumble" about things in this place, you are seen as a troublemaker and go on a short list. No raises. Cr-ppy 9 block ratings. No bones thrown your way. No "Lumen Stars". Someone I know here did excellent work, but would always ask tough questions of management, questions that should be asked, and was always seen by them as a pain in the rear. He was RIF'ed.
Stay in line people. DTL was a farce to throw Kate's buddy Brene a multi-million dollar bone.

"Is there correlation between drinking the BB koolaid and business transformation? Asking for a friend."

The sinking ship is the correlation.

Just the other day they flagged me for not using the "correct" term for a division in some correspondence with a customer, with everything going bad with this place, haven't they got more to worry about that that?? Well that spoke volumes to me how mis-guided management is and why this outfit is sinking like the Titanic.

Look at the landscape. During the past 18 months, when would DTL principles and behaviors EVER have made a difference in any of this? What happens when you “rumble” upward in this environment? - You are a dissenter and not on board. Likely let go. Vulnerability doesn’t mean x here. Find a friend in HR who is vulnerable and ask about the backend of DTL rollout. No clear vision, no best practices, no “rumbling” - just shooting in the dark hoping to win over KJ approval. Doesn’t seem like the organization was responsible with the huge investment of $$$$ being paid out to BB. What were the expected measurable outcomes? You take us folks out of the field to join a book club with no clear purpose or leader and ask us to share feelings. After we share, we are now behind. This extra time spent was not accounted for during performance reviews. Seriously. How d-mb.

"To stay employed means you do as you are told to do. Most won't try and question anything in fear they will be fired."

B-b-b-but that's not "rumbling with vulnerability" or "having tough conversations" or "team, trust, transparency"!!!

It's sad that alot of staffers are drinking the Brene Brown / Kate kool-aid, when they most likely will be the next ones to be spun off the merry go round

To stay employed means you do as you are told to do. Most won't try and question anything in fear they will be fired. Many good folks had left on their own and many more will jump off the sinking Lumen raft. Another big section of Lumen is about to be sold off.

I hadn't made up my mind about Kate until I heard her this week on the post earnings call. It's time to get the he-l out of here.

Why do people think the $1,000,000 buy by KJ was using her own money? Share price will tank again but it will rebound and hold under $2.00 for next 24 months. The exit plan is to sell off the company as soon as the Board of Directors see something favorable with debt management.

She is required by contract to own a certain amount of stock. So the buying 1 million worth would be part of her obligations.

Investing a million isnt much of a risk if you know the ending, whether its a buyout or bankruptcy. So she pretty much knows how much shes going to win, which is why I wouldnt count on bankruptcy. DIdnt Stansbury put in a few hundred K of his money too?

Rich people arent in the habit of losing money. Especially in today's rigged markets.

Here we come penny stock. She could probally use the tax write off. She and her woke policies are a joke. She is just trying to hire all her friends to get them a golden parachute or bailout before the ship sinks.
