Thread regarding CenturyLink layoffs

We have to consider the fact that after this MERGER layoffs are often accompanied by severance packages so I expect there to be some form of expense as a result of the layoffs. Granted these expense will be one-time restructuring expenses. . Even though it is reasonable to assume some level of cost, it is actually quite hard to get a grip on how much it is going to cost the company. I expect that layoffs we be in stages throughout the next two years. What will be the earnings each quarter that are expected to keep investors happy vs the cost of severance packages that is the question. I expect mid level managers to be let go over the next year and then Field techs in 2019." Fasten your seat belts its going to be a bumby ride "
