Thread regarding Windstream Corp. layoffs

Just a thought...

Wouldn’t the most successful strategy for current employees (that minimizes exposure to risk with the most potential for benefits) be to quit, find stable work, ride our bankruptcy and layoff concerns somewhere else while still getting paid and then, if WIN makes it out the other side, go back? They would have to hire you back at going rate or your old salary (and you could make continued benefits from when you left part of being hired back) whichever is better. Sounds like a WIN WIN :-)

I would imagine everyone that leaves would get a substantial bump in pay, easily in the thousands of dollars. If the job turns out to s--- go back to win (if they make it) and win will have to match the pay increase.

I also got an outside offer this week for 18% more than I'm getting at Windstream doing the same job. In all honesty it's the salary I should be at if it weren't for the YEARS of either 1-3% "raises" or no raises at all. It's really a tragedy because I really like my team but absolutely no longer any reason to stay.

Good luck everyone!

Was your offer an external job offer or were you offered a separation package?

Just got an offer. See y’all later. Hopefully all of you aren’t sitting there believing everything will be ok.

I see management chiming in, worried about meeting your target KEIP payout?
