Another day of news telling me how inflation is high but wage gains offset the pain. Then realize no such offset at Windstream employees! Boy do I feel motivated

The other day another colleague left who had only been here a few months! What I would like to say to our leadership is that it is nice that they care more about the new hires than about us who have been here for more than a decade, but that none... — read more 

I know techs that create tickets from the planners to make themselves to look busy. Don't fool yourself, it's a money game. If the company isn't making revenue and they are not then you don't matter. Pride yourself and move on before they tell you... — read more 

It has become very difficult to work here, the morale is almost non-existent. Everyone is depressed, everyone is looking for a way out and no one is expecting anything good to happen. I think as far as morale is concerned, the situation has never... — read more 

Let's stop the small talk. This place is garbage and the revenue is being sucked up by the top 5. That's the fact, MIC DROP.

I have to say this is one of the better places I've worked..the environment is competitive yet friendly, and we're tearing down elements of it that cost us a lot of money.

They came out with some contractor who barely spoke English and somehow managed to fry my $4000 access point..

Maklet for experienced techs has never been better..get out now! Windstream will have you working nights and weekends because they've laid everyone off. They do not have the manpower to cover what they expect their employees to do. Check out surf... — read more 

They do not really sell their customer based products like UCASS or SDWAN..mostly focused on wholesale and network...which isn't getting anyone very far..it's a scam for uniti to suck money from windstream. We eat and test fiber assets while Uniti... — read more 

Customers are lowest priority..techs who know their networking sh-t being converted to doing simple fiber stuff..hybirid stupid sh-t while support for customers has all but ended. They don't care about customers anymore..they care about taking fiber... — read more 

While the atmosphere is gloomier than ever, it’s hard to believe there will be a layoff soon given how much workforce is missing already. Admittedly, nothing makes much sense in this company. There is only one thing for sure, whenever the layoffs do... — read more 

Great read about this ponzi scheme we are in. Now we all know why Zayo bowed out. https://seekingalpha.com/article/4473280-uniti-group-takeover-rumors-are-real?

Can HR at least send out guides to Windstream employees about Dumpster Diving to survive inflationary pressures since compassion and cost of living adjustments are not possible!

I'm waiting for the "join conference call at 8:00 am. Do not forward this to anyone," email or text. That's the layoff call. Until then I will do just enough to get paid. Not busting my bu-t for this company. I don't care about me, I don't care about... — read more

So news media admit significant inflation pressure but also claim wage gains have offset the pain. UNLESS YOU WORK AT WINDSTREAM!! Address the elephant in the room TT with something other than Windstream is not a prison!!!

Will there be any Windstream layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Even workers that got large increases are now losing ground to inflation. Imagine being employed at Windstream and thier COLA standard of 1% or less a year. Winning ??? To leadership, if you will not address this on Townhall meeting then just cancel... — read more 

TT and the top 5 got a 20 million bonus to have a incentive to keep this company running. Now let's move to the present. Where are you today as a employee? Any bonuses for you? Didn't think so.

I have seen many posts indicating Windstream only provides a 1% pay adjustment annually or a 3% raise every three years. Is this true?

If there's anybody here who has quit, any chance you can share what the exit process is like? When you give your two weeks notice, are you expected to work for the full two weeks or do they tell you there's no need to come in? I'd just like to plan... — read more 

I am in the burnout phase. I really don’t know anyone who is happy here. Is it possible that anyone is happy here except those at the very top and those who somehow manage to convince themselves that they should be satisfied just because they still... — read more

We all know that Elliott wants to get paid. A merger with Frontier has been rumored. But now, an article on the Waa Street Journal says Zayo is reportedly in talks to buy both Windstream and Uniti.

Windstream has become a nursery of talent. Probably because there is management that does not do its job well, that is, that does not know how to get the best out of their employees. ___ I have worked for many companies and was always told I did... — read more
