Thread regarding Windstream Corp. layoffs

Management isn't wrong. If you're dumb enough to still be at WIN and not be planning your exit after all this, you're not the brightest star in the sky.

Well most of you so called valuable workers not getting your mertit increase didn't run off to a better gigs. Snice you are so talented you could have right? Right? I am sure you could go to any of the competition and land a job that pays the same or better.... You can't that is why you are here.

The above is how management thinks.

How about all these so called analysts that know one has a clue what they do? The ones I see are either visiting other depts all day or outside smoking. So you get paid to walk around and not do a dam thing while im busting my a-- and not making the money you make? Yea that sounds about right for windstream keep the useless and get rid of those who actually work

Morale was already in the toilet due leaderships insatiable greed. Then they announced no merit raises for the 4th year. And by 'merit raise' I am talking about any inflation adjustments, not any actual increases in my wages purchasing power. Then they lost the court case. Then they declared bankruptcy. I fully expect to see leadership claiming that retention bonuses are needed at the top to the BK Judge.

Do you really think any of the neglected workers care or try any longer? Would you? Coincidently the 'leadership' is not ashamed to state they need ever increasing salaries and bonuses to perform their jobs but feel betrayed when emplyees act in a similar manner! I see no hope with existing leadership.

IMO there is very little need for directors. No that doesn’t mean increase VP count because that needs to be addressed as well. We say we provide service in all 50 states but our core business is mainly central to east.

Time to cut dealer payouts or get rid of your SalesForce.

In my experience, chapter 11 actually is finally the trigger that guts middle management. But with this company who knows, they might just keep all of management and fire everyone but the one top performer in every department. It has baffled me over the years Why certain people haven’t left and found jobs with half the workload, twice the recognition and three times the pay. At any rate management have realized that the lack of self esteem, foolish loyalty, or fear of the unknown in these employees equal slave labor that they can count on to exploit to the very bitter end.
