New BOD is having Monthly meetings. One would suspect monthly steps to get company on good standing. Layoffs have to be on agenda monthly. Whatever reserves were held, Uniti and Government freebies given. The company is churning through cash... — read more 

No matter how hard I try to remember the good decisions of the leadership in the last few years, I simply can't. The leadership here has a history of bad decisions. And the reason? It's really hard to say what the reason is. Whether it is... — read more 

The thing is is, Windstream is dead. They have let go of all the good employees. The ones that are left are just hanging on..hoping to get a layoff package. They've destroyed employee morale and want you to feel lucky to have a job with them. They... — read more 

I got a pretty solid offer, not much better than what I have here but now I’m debating whether to accept and abandon all this or still wait for the package? If the offer was much better, I wouldn't hesitate.

I'd love for someone to tell me what a long term plan for this company is. Because, it seems to me that it does not exist at all. Leadership is so preoccupied with balance sheets that it seems to me that they are not even thinking about the future... — read more 

Heard there was a layoff in the Whole sale at VP level. Apparently someone didn't take the ethics training, and was receiving kickbacks.

TT is keeping everyone optimistic as always to align his pocket with cash. He gets the BIG BUCKS. You are lucky to have a job Master of his art, and while he and Max chill and he takes his trips on your expense he is probably saying "Max, your a... — read more 

or will there be more layoffs by the end of the month?

I am constantly afraid of being cut because it wouldn't be good for me to lose my job right now, but.. I can also no longer be anxious whether I will be the target or not, whether I will survive this time or not. Surviving layoffs, it seems to me... — read more 

Well, I was just hired on by Windstream today, and then I came to this place and saw the absolute dumpster fire of this company. I really want to give this company a chance because it’ll give me experience in something that I’ve wanted to do for... — read more

I was laid off from W S a few years ago. The package wasn't that good. They said we would get 2 weeks pay for every year worked. Up to 12 weeks max. I was there over 18 years. Most of my time was with a company they purchased. I worked CT, N Y... — read more 

No raise, no work. Deal with it

so glad the c-suite is disillusioned by Horizons VDI being the great step forward in security and efficiency. Glaring security holes, techs unable to use the app, and overall a worse solution than 2x. Good job, CIO. Good job.

Windstream paying big money , some upwards of 5000 bucks payable to workers to get their buddies to join the circus. It’s sad knowing they can’t obtain any decent candidates by reputation alone … I mean didn’t all these potential candidates see the... — read more 

At this point, nothing would make me happier than to be replaced by a contractor, get the package and finally leave this place. How many more people are hoping to get laid off? I'm sure it's more than 50 percent, which says a lot about the... — read more

With UNIT selling off assets it looks like they are lightening their financial load and positioning themselves for a sale. When does WIN begin doing the same?

Of course no one can say that with certainty, but I wonder if there is any speculation that more people could be cut soon? I’m already one foot out the door because I’m actively looking for new opportunities, but I’d love to get a package and... — read more

Any thoughts on contractors being brought in to replace full time workers?

I don’t know how the top of this company thinks it’s possible to have a quality product while at the same time requiring to do more with less. That is simply impossible. The quality is significantly declining and this is becoming noticeable... — read more 

I notice a lot of people saying that nobody is safe here anymore, but that's not true. My coworker who rarely does anything beyond the bare minimum is never worried about his job. He's good friends with our manager's manager (I have my suspicions on... — read more 

Windstream thinks they can do more with less..all this does is drive the remaining employees into the ground. People are working 60-70 hours a week with on call and after hours already. This last one may cause an exodus of people who were already... — read more

I am no longer with WS left prior to BK. How are they now matching the 401k? They used to match with WS stock. They did this to save on cash. Pay with stock instead of actual dollars. Look where that went. So are they matching in cash now? — read more 

Getting word that the axe has fallen on some of our team. Of course, NOBODY in upper management has the stones to publicly address any of it. Hearing field operations and OSP so far, but it's all through the grapevine.

Is there any new information/ rumors about the next round of layoffs? Honestly, I would love to be a layoff target because I have less and less motivation to work in an atmosphere like this. The air is thicker than ever.

I'm thinking we're about to witness the kind of exodus of employees that can destroy a company.

TT almost acted like he thought Windstream had a resilient network this morning. I hope he enjoyed his room service lunch at his European “work trip”. Can’t duct tape garbage bags together and think it will survive winter land hurricanes. I hope... — read more
