Thread regarding Windstream Corp. layoffs

Company equipment return discussion.

Since its the end of the year, I'd like to have a discussion about closing another page in the book of my career here.

Even though I don't work here anymore I should return more stuff to the company, like all the plaques over the years I was given for my years of service, I should probably throw those in the trash. Its not like I'm going to whip out my 15 year plaque at the bar and impress some chick with it.
The real question is, I have all of these shirts and baseball caps and I don't really feel like shipping them back.

Occasionally I have to drive through some of the service territories, its during these times that I put on the Windstream branded shirts and baseball caps and when someone tells me about the problems they are having I take their information and then tell them that I will have someone take care of it for them.

Sometimes, I just suggest that they switch over to a cellular provider instead, since it doesn't affect me. Its not like theres anything that can be done to keep this place from going bankrupt again.

I know some of you will read this and go thats just wrong, and that you shouldn't do that. I'm someone who did everything right here and still got laid off.

In closing you should probably update your return policy. There's thousands of us out here now.

I work as a contractor now and I’m glad to have the shirts and caps to wear rather than buying my own stuff. Yes, occasionally someone asks me if I currently work for Windstream and just tell them yes, but I also take jobs for myself because, honestly, windstream can’t keep me busy. Usually I get a smile along with some sort of positive “go getter” comment and tell them to call in and give me a positive review.

I use my windstream shirts to do "dirty" jobs around the house like painting or staining or changing oil in my truck. I would never wear anything with windstream on it out in public as I dont need anyone yelling at me about how bad they su*k.

D-mbest post on here! Pretty sure Windstream could care less if you return your shirts and hats. Seems like you’d have trashed that cr-p when you were laid off??
