Anyone heard if there going to offer another buy out. I’m ready to get outta here, we have been riding a sinking ship forever now and there is no light at the end of windstream tunnel.
Any word on layoffs this Thursday?
Used to just be a 3rd Thursday thing but since January was 4th Thursday I guess every Thursday is going to be he-l going forward. Any chatter?
Is windstream trying to get rid of Kentucky market
Just curious as to why windstream quit spending money in Ky and letting other carriers take over there areas. Anyone know what’s going on? Money is being spent in all other areas. Ky started a small built but quit and all money is froze until 2025 — read more
No Raises
Word circulating as everyone is getting their annual reviews is there is going to be no raises this year! Anyone else hear this? So sounds like we’re repeating the same BS that TT did!
Getting the band back together
Well well well. Articles from multiple sources saying Windstream and Uniti might merge. That would certainly make selling the combined company much more attractive... — read more
How can you be hiring
How can Windstream have so many job openings when they are trying to reduce headcount if anything. Seems like the company has not been run well for a very long time. Most of their services are other companies tech....do they own any of their own IP... — read more

Selling windstream
Does anyone actually know if a company would buy windstream? Any rumors of them selling?
Not diggin this new leadership!
Don’t know about you, but this new hatchet man is worse than the prior leader. Don’t see much of a future for Windstream under his leadership (if you can call it that).
Laid off in 6 months
I was laid off after 6 months. Loved my role and all the folks who worked for me and who I worked for. I wish I had known more about Windstream before I accepted. Job search has been very difficult.
how is jeff austin an executive?
he is not charasmatic, not good at speaking, loves and overuses quotes. just a complete id--t. He can barely talk for 10 minutes without having to resort to his quotes. Even when he was hired he could barely talk. Worthless.
Some of us don't fear layoffs
Windstream has been so good at making our lives miserable for years that some of us see the possibility of being laid off as a blessing. I'm not exaggerating. I would be happy to be laid off and I know others who feel the same. How badly do you have... — read more
Laid off once again
Yesterday was told that we are laid off starting march 1st . They say that they care about us but expect us to wait till march 1st to find another job . Please explain that to me
More layoffs next Thursday?
Is it true that next Thursday we can expect more layoffs? If so, does anybody have an idea which depts are going to be hit? How many people?
In Paul we trust
Said changes will be made for the business. Didn’t mess around and complete 3 layoffs in a month secretly did 1 big one. Ruffling feathers in C and B and A management. Getting Windstream to become a more attractive buy.
More Bloddy Layoffs
The accountants at Windstream are chopping heads again. Big layoffs today
CFO Out
Just spotted on LinkedIn that CFO Richard Martin has left the building. Did I miss a post on Stream?
Who’s Next?
Who’s getting the boot this week? Only time will tell….
Severance plan reduction
A new severance plan is out today. They will now pay weekly. The amount is your previous weekly pay minus what you can draw in state unemployment benefits. Maximum period is 12 weeks or until you get a new job and unemployment benefits stop.
More Changes Coming?
Anyone hear or know of anymore changing coming? Possibly before the next all hands call?? Any more cuts?
3rd Thursday Coming
Time for another SG&A haircut. Get your seatbelt on!
No future here
It took me a while to give up, but I'm now done. Things have turned so toxic that I don't want to stay at Windstream a day longer than I have to. I'm determined to be gone before the end of January.
Windstream Layoffs 2024
Do you predict that there will be Windstream layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
Thursdays have to be the worst day of the week.
Things have been going so well this week but last night I work up at 4 am, took a shower to prepare for the day and started reading and preparing for the day. Around 7 I made a pot of coffee and then the coffee kicked in, needless to say my day is... — read more
A little over a year ago - sad wife
A little over a year ago was laid off at 60 plus. I keep having to remind my wife (early dementia) that unless a Christmas miracle happens there will be little Christmas cheer this year. I hope the greedy 'Leadership' enjoys their ill gotten gains... — read more
Ga techs still getting their 8% but not me
Here we go again with the GA cst's getting 8% while the rest of us are lucky to get a measley 1%. Why the disparity mr new CEO? How about giving us all a decent raise so we can afford to buy groceries and gas in the same week? Instead of having to... — read more
