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.

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.

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.

Anyone hear or know of anymore changing coming? Possibly before the next all hands call?? Any more cuts?

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.
