Any idea of what layoffs might happen in December???

CLEC changes inbound? RIF in Sales and Ops? Texas/Arkansas hits?

Do you think there may be small/medium/large Windstream layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Some shady stuff going on by peers of mine in ILEC field sales who use that system…..

Any word if the golden handshake will be offered this year to trim the base?

I worked in sales for several years at Windstream. Love our technicians. They care about every customer. I don’t get the negativity here aimed at these devoted people.

Did October layoff rumors end up being false? I can't tell through the noise whether anything really happened.

Post your layoff info that you’ve heard or have knowledge of happening.

Annual enrollment time of the year and I just cringe on how much medical insurance cost at Windstream. So much money out of pocket before it covers anything. My wife works for a health care insurance company and can’t believe how bad the Windstream... — read more 

Rumors running rampant that CLEC sales going away soon. How?!?

There’s been a lot of rumors floating around. Is 17th a confirmed date?

What is going down this Thursday here?

I'd like to start off by saying there's something wrong with this place, everything we've done is just not made to last. The following items I've had here that are breaking down are the company supplied mouse pad, monitors, and the chair I took from... — read more 

All hands on deck. Layoffs have been put on the back burner. Lots of damage and help needed in several states.

Any word on potential impacts?

Is it true that windstream has systematically reduced 30% of workforce over the last 2 years? Does anyone know the number of employees now ? Was it over 12k a few years ago?

The fact people who have other options like spectrum with a min of 300mb speed and other fiber only providers and they still willingly decide to get this trash dsl that gets zero maintenance and attention now a days. People will call in trouble... — read more 

Since its the end of the year, I'd like to have a discussion about closing another page in the book of my career here. Even though I don't work here anymore I should return more stuff to the company, like all the plaques over the years I was given... — read more 

Looks like Elliot got their money back fr9m the ftr deal. Are we next?

All but 6 Communty Advocates just let go. Another brainstorm down the tube's in Retail. When will they learn that leadership for Retail has no idea what they are doing.

What’s the latest on the so called merger / takeover? What will change? What jobs will be cut? Will the excess management finally be thinned out ?

We the willing led by the unknowing are being led to do the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much for so long with so little that we are now qualified to do anything with nothing. May the odds be ever in your favor

Word on the street is another 250 in Service Delivery on the chopping block this week.

Though I don’t even know why I care.

Wondering if there were more cuts today.

It's incredibly sad to see the posts from all y'all that are getting let go. I wish you best of luck and hopefully you get something better. Heck, even a job at 7-11 might be a step up from this reeking dumpster fire of a company. Any place that lays... — read more 

My group was told we were safe for a year after the last horrid layoffs. But most of my team got it this round. Including myself. Years of loyalty and faithfulness gutted in one phone call filled w at least 100 others. Sick way to do it. Cowards... — read more 

regretting that we were not laid off as well.

Do we know what the target number is? Which depts? What I’m hearing sounds really bad.

So many people laid off today.

I am so excited for our 18th anniversary. I thought I would share my journey with you, my friends. I started here (seems like ages ago) as a CST. Now, I'm a CST. The pay is not great but the benefits aren't wonderful. Just wanted to share so that... — read more

I haven’t heard much lately, but I’m not at the frontline, so to speak.

"Internet better" -- sounds like Kevin from the office is running the show here now https://youtu.be/bctjSvn-OC8?si=tBqCwIBv3R5aLPhN

It seems the utilities folks are upset over multiple 911 outages. https://www.1011now.com/2024/07/10/state-files-complaint-against-windstream-after-investigating-nebraska-911-outages/

AI has now deemed this company irrelevant by the lack of interest on this site. People finally walked away and don’t care anymore.

Good luck everyone.

MM was ousted as head of Kinetic sales and LC is promoted to take her place effective immediately.
