NOT! You now have thousands of ex employees spilling the beans on how you operate and how you treat long time employees! Most of us will not return to make this work as a contractors and we are letting everyone know if you have other options to switch because it will not get better and your not getting the service you're selling to your customers. That's awesome strategy! You're suppose to be about business Ethernet but I heard you just had a call about 600 missed site surveys across the board. You're off to a great start LOL. I'm switching and telling everyone to also. I have a new you-can strategy! You just made half your employees hate where they worked and ones left unsure if they want to stay and ride out the sinking ship! You also created 20k people out spreading the word of how you operate. Well played!! Who bought who????? Ha ha!

Applied to a fiber tech job with Verizon and Comcast. Applied to a broadband company for a service managers position. There are jobs out there, even for a 50yo guy. They all look at you funny when you tell them you have 30 years with CenturyLink but once you explain the situation they understand why you want out. A big loss no matter where you go is vacation time. Other than that no big deal.
What kind of work is everyone looking for now? Curious.
Hate to tell you but customers care less how we are treated. As far as "spilling the beans" as you put it, anyone who is left go and cries about it, is seen as someone with a bad attitude cause they lost their job.
Customers know we s--- because they are waiting 2-3 weeks for installs and repairs. They don't need to be told. If you told them how the residential side was being run, they wouldn't believe you anyway, because it is so unbelievable.
Get your cardboard box ready and put Uber in speed dial, cause this puppy is going down.
They're just cleaning up the mess of pre-buyout leadership.
Sour former employees won't affect anything, but they feel better venting. CTL had great cash flow per share last quarter. Strategy working so far. Smart guys from Level 3!
They won't miss you. The fact is CenturyLink is 90% owned by banks. They have no accountability to the general public. They WANT anything that is not a large contract to go away. They could care less about bad press or employee relations. They only want to secure that next government contract or high end customer.
Yeah you nailed it in the head! I hope they enjoy the Christmas bonuses we have up "to help the company". Lol and then they get a giant sign on bonus. Most never spent a day in the field. You take over a company you should at least see how it's operating before you downsize what's already over worked. Lol. Take your money and run!
Yeah for $39 an install contracting? Kick rocks. I wouldn't remove bridge taps or run line I would tone and pray lol. CenturyLink to go under in the next 10 years. A lot of competition companies coming along.
