Thread regarding CenturyLink layoffs

this is from a article that was written by Motley fool

CenturyLink still has a lot of work to do. But for now, it's doing right by more than just its public shareholders, having contributed $500 million to its pension plan this year. Sooner or later, the company will have to find a way to generate organic growth -- you can't squeeze the synergy sponge forever. However, the chances of CenturyLink reducing or even eliminating its dividend, as some of its smaller rivals have, is seeming less likely in the near term.

Centurylink is not on the 10 buy list.....

Anyone who has been here more than 20 years can see we are a shell of our former selves. Go to Monroe, Denver or one of the other big sites and look at how nice the buildings are and how well they are maintained. Then, go out into the real world where towns mayors and others complain about the disgraceful appearance of our buildings that are not being maintained inside or out. But go look at a Level 3 building. Bet they don't bring toilet paper from home and clean their own bathrooms and empty the trash when it piles up in the CO and Reporting Centers for weeks.

Look at the cable, rotting on reels in the yards. Look at the empty spaces where there used to be trucks. Look at the four employees cars in the lot where there used to be forty. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see where we are headed.

I wouldn't buy CTL stock either. Buy the local competitors stock. Anyone in a MAX area knows we are driving customers to them by the hundreds with 3 and 4 week commit times on trouble and months to get a line installed.

Time will tell. I don't believe Centurylink is where they want to be. I agree with the article from Motley fool.. You can only manipulate the numbers so much.

I believe there will be layoffs in the 4th quarter.
