I used to love working here. Now every day one of the first things I do is check this page to see if there were any new rumors of possible layoffs. How sad is that?
Working with no job security is neither good for the employees nor the employer (I can only imagine how much Windstream loses in productivity due to morale be this low.)
The saddest part is that I don't see this changing. Ever.
Windstream is the piggiest, sleaziest, greediest, bunch of BF liars that I have dealt with (as a necessity due to where I presently live). They will ream you raw and then proceed to s--- all vital fluids from your rectum. I have zero respect for Corporate pigs but will experience maximum enjoyment as I watch ATT/TW gorge themselves on every bit of WS's life.
Everyone knows you jump companies to get a raise in today’s world. I was laid off in Jan and now working a job making over 6 figs. About a 100% increase over what sh--stream was willing to pay.
No annual raises this year yes.
Windstream recruiters. I'd like to apply for an SVP or a VP position. Actually a director position would be ok too.
I don't know much about your business model, but I have held a similar previous position with "High status".
What I'd like to do is come in and brow beat all your employees that seem to be incompetent. I'd like to bring in new blood. Really good folks that came from a crap company. We were good and you can be too. I'm looking for asses to kiss so I keep myself employed.
Anyone know where we might be able to pick up any VPs?
A funny thing is if you're out hiking and your friend gets bit by a poisonous snake, tell him you're going for help, then go about ten feet and pretend YOU got bit by a snake. Then start an argument about who's going to get help. A lot of guys will start crying. That's why it makes you feel good when you tell them it was just a joke.
If you are Director or above you are now part of the bonus pool and incentive based on team performance. If you were not part of a change in job title your pay was not adjusted. I know my old team had almost a 100% differnece in pay for the same position from top to bottom. Some of those outside the paysale were moved to other teams and others were let go. I am hoping that this re-alignment in pay fixes alot of those issues. I got a 10% adjustment after not seeing a raise for 4 years with my change in job title. Onecomm and ELNK were both broke down, most of us didn't get a raise for years, this one was well deserved. If you have no motivation to grow or move on you are in a dead end position and should quit and move on.
I remember back when I started working, my first day was sometime in the summer, I was so full of youth back then. I was excited at what this company would become and the prospect of the sky being the limit as far as my career options were. Later that winter there was a wreck as my car hit a patch of ice, I woke up and went back about my life, after I got a new car of course.
Then as the years passed by, as my co-workers slowly aged and I didn't, I realized that I was different from the others that I sat by. I would move groups every few years so my co-workers wouldn't become suspicious that I would live much longer than they would. I investing my money in stocks like Kodak, Xerox and maintained a pretty nice standard of living. I also invested my time pursuing new skills that would allow me to keep my options open. My boyfriend at the time asked me to marry him, but I had to leave knowing that he would eventually get too old for a hot piece like me. So one day I disappeared and ... Read more
