Windstream, has the worst Culture imaginable. They hire new people, and when the company see's the stock price going down, shortly after they begin Lay off's. They have people working for them that have been their for 30 years or more. Do they Lay off these examples of Dead wood. People who have learned to Milk the system and get as much as they can out of it No! They Lay off the new people, the ones that don't cost as much and they keep the more expensive employees. Does this Make sense?
This company exists as two companies one as a Reit, which is the one that holds all of the assets of the company, the Other as Windstream, which gets all of the Debt. Very poor planning at this company, Bad decision making at the top. Really weird environment.
