One SVP has bit the dust
It appears JS realized just how bad engineering under BW really was. You can't run an ILEC as if it is a CLEC. Now time to get the engineers back in the field and stop this fractured setup. I think this is a great move.
FB gives $1000 to every employee

3 some Uniti, Windstream, Elliot Management
What a joke. Judge Drain is a typical judge who rather a plea bargain then have to rule in courts merits of right and wrong. Maybe the coronavirus will delay trial and allow corrupt management to earn more.
