I have a friend on my team who has an interview in another department? Has anybody seen that happen recently? Why are they cutting back, but interviewing people for other positions? Just a question. It doesn’t make sense to me.

Anyone else think the IBM outsourcing deal will be a huge failure?

Yes. Yes it can. Another record low today. Well done executive team, hopefully this is your last big-boy jobs. What a legacy you all have made for yourselves, losing record levels of investors money, bravo

What was the big announcement today that was posted here? Anybody?

Down to 4.64 .. after the reverse split. Bravo

I love how the bar is set so low with these now. Let’s see, we lost two billion dollars last year, we expect to only lose 1 and a half billion dollars this year and wow we only lost 1.49 billion dollars instead and then everyone jumps for joy... — read more 

Day after I receive calls from technicians that seem to have no clue what they’re doing. Is it that easy to become a field technician or does management just not care? Before this starts pissing off everyone, I do receive a fair number calls from... — read more 

At my location it's day as any other. Looks like false alarm to me.

It won’t be that real raises or merit increases are coming It won’t be that a better health plan is coming It won’t be that job security is finallly here It won’t be that you will be rewarded for staying and working harder while everyone around you... — read more 

Wonder what time the flushing and executive spinning will start. The pre-recorded dog & pony speeches always add a nice personal touch before you get kicked to the curb. Then as you walk back to your desk, you see a group of new hires headed for a... — read more 

Windstream Bondholders Can Reject Uniti's Lease In Bankruptcy Jul. 2, 2018 6:52 AM•UNIT Summary We rarely play both the long and short side on the same stock. Uniti Group was where we went long into extreme pessimism. Interestingly, as fundamentals... — read more 

I overheard from a supervisor in passing that there COULD be layoffs tomorrow! He was talking with other people, and he heard from higher officials. Some of these sups do not need to talk when people may be listening.

Prior to the 5to1....and 12to1 reverse split the stock is at an all time low. There is only one way to go. Windstream Holdings Inc has a quick ratio of 0.66. It indicates that the company cannot currently fully pay back its current liabilities. No... — read more 

Why set a all hands meeting several weeks in the future...and why right after the numbers release?? This isn't looking good!!!

WS has been laying off people since they started, too many to count. At this point there isn’t a person in Telecom that doesn’t know how sh-tty they treat their employees, been on the receiving end first hand or know someone that has been crapped on... — read more

If you need a laugh, I ran into this article and the suggestions it gives are mildly put ridiculous. It imagines an ideal situation with an amazing manager, instead of the real-life situation in which we have to do the job of 5, not 2 people and will... — read more 

How do they come up with the names of people to layoff? People that work their a-- off everyday with an exceptional skill set get shown the door. All while people that work from home with no skill set to speak of, haven't made it into an office in... — read more 

The revenue number listed at the top of this page of $6 Billion is wildly Misleading. As of the 2017 year end financials the accurate net profit number is -$2.12 Billion (loss).

http://news.windstream.com/news-releases/news-release-details/windstream-announces-second-quarter-earnings-call-7 Do y'all think this will be good or bad news? A post yesterday said it was the first week and now it's moved up a week.

I have heard from some yes, and some no. What has everyone else heard?

I’m guessing no one bit at the chance to purchase 2B in debt at 7.75% with the promise of getting it back in five years at 9%. What idiot would take them up on this? Im going to go out on a limb that the odds of WS coming up with $2B in five years or... — read more

No wonder why moral is at an all time low. Layoffs are needed just to keep the lights on. But yet all we hear from the fat cats is how great things are running as departments are sending jobs overseas again and having the people left do more and more... — read more 

No wonder Windstream is failing if this is the kind of people it employs. It's so easy to complain about those making decisions when you don't have the fate of entire company to think about. How about everybody start working harder and complaining... — read more

We are just waiting on the inevitable to occur here in Anniston. We've already lost so many employees, including our NOC. Wondering if we will be packing our things next Thursday for good?

Laying people off and then dumping their work on other departments creates a “ghost workforce” for Windstream and saves them $$$. Unfortunately, it is at the employees expense. Eventually, people will wise up and leave. When folks are overwhelmed... — read more 

The reason I think most have lost the positive vibe is the lack of morale that no longer exists within this company. Look beyond the layoffs. There is such extreme nepotism and favoritism that you could lose count when trying to lay out how some... — read more

What is the layoff rumor for 7/12?

This site is getting pathetic. Grow up and act like adults. Things are depressing enough without this BS. If you're that unhappy, go elsewhere, I did and I'm much happier.
