Looks as if the elite awards trip was lavish as always. I just wonder how many people got axed to pay the bill or did they just use the broadband grant money to cover it.

What did you guys think of the questions and answers at the end of the town hall today?

I have heard from multiple sources that more layoffs are coming this month and with the sale, legacy Windstream employees will all be gone. Does anyone know the percent of cuts in the past year? Is it around 40%+?

Is anybody really surprised at the rumors that more layoffs are coming? I’m not. We have been going downhill fast for a while. This latest batch of cuts made me reconcile with the fact that I will be departing this place soon. And good for me, and... — read more

March 1 lead story on stream is happy employee appreciation day. There is no mention of the mass layoffs 24 hours earlier.

I thought PS would at least realize that this company is so middle management heavy that cuts would need to be in that level of organization. However today proved he is as smart as TT as still same worker bee layoffs vs no doers cut.

I worked for a good outfit within Windstream Company and there is no way I would ever go back to Windstream even if they offered me $200k, which they probably don't even have. They talk a big game but they deliver a very small game. I wouldn't... — read more
