Thread regarding CenturyLink layoffs

Centurylink "quietly" moving Monroe execs to Broomfield, laying off everyone else

CenturyLink headquarters will not remain in Monroe. Company has initiative to "quietly" move executives to Colorado and hoping the locals don't notice. this is confirmed. Many already gone. Promises made to local civic and state leaders will be broken and CTL will have to pay the state of louisiana penalties for not having the number of jobs in LA they promised. But they dont care.

Only two ceo Jeff Story's direct reports (ExecVP's) remain in Monroe are Maxine Moreaux and Stacy Goff. Goff been talking about retiring his position be replaced in Colorado. EVP of Human Resources Scott Tresize house for sale he has basicly already moved to Colorado and already has office there intead of Monroe.

Other execs in Monroe laid off over last several weeks,all will leave Monroe no replacement jobs in Monroe. Most laid despite experience and knowledge, all that matters s cutting numbers to make financials pretty.

The new technology center of excellence opend in 2015 cost tens of millions is a joke, mostly empty ghost town. Even people who still have jobs in Monroe mostly work from home no one cares if the come into the office.

New regulatory SVP is inept is accountant bean counter, only has job after storey dumped him and someone else came to his rescue, it the good ol boy network in this country bumpkin town all over again. He's no where near exes in same role at competition, they'll eat our lunch. Wait for the fines to start rolling in but they dont care, just getting the lipstick on the pig to sell it.

Centurylink has lied to Monroe employees an to local community and state goverment.

If the rumors are true and Storey will leave 12/31, who is tapped to be our next leader?

CenturyLink is only obligated to keep its corporate HQ and maintain a certain number of Monroe employees for tax breaks through 2020. After that, it can move without "penalties" and absolutely should.

Qwest (acquired by CenturyTel) was a Colorado based local exchange carrier that began as Mountain States Telephone in 1911. TW Telecom was based in Littleton Colorado prior to being acquired by Level 3. Level 3 was a Colorado based company started in 1985 that acquired CenturyLink via reverse-merger. Is the corporate HQ for CenturyLink moving back to Colorado? You bet it is. Should Monroe, LA start coming to grips with that? Yes... yes they should.

Kinda sad.....Mr. Goff will retire soon and poor Clay, who knows what happens to him?? No one to protect him when Goff is gone. Maxine should take her money and enjoy retirement. Monroe will be a ghost town in 2 years.

I have been told by an middle manager that the plan is to officially have the head quarters moved to the Denver area by 2020.

I'm not sure about being sold off but maybe this time it would be better than working for the dictating leaders we have now. Either way, hold on to your A** because I think more layoffs are coming soon.

Level 3 or their management never promised Monroe anything. The Centurylink that made those promises doesn't exist anymore. When they change the name again, they will avoid any penalties with legal wrangling. These L3 boys are dumb, not stupid.

The sign out front should say Level 3. All of the upper management that ever cared about true CenturyLink is gone, except Stacey. All.replaced with Level 3 people who could care less about Louisiana.
