Wonder if they are celebrating in Latin America

That is, which states does Lumen want to keep? In any case, the situation is hopeless because there is no future here and we should flee from here ASAP.

I don't intend to wait for them to show me the door. The situation here is getting worse and worse and looking for a new job is an absolute priority. However, I am a bit disappointed because in two months I received only one offer which was not... —  read more

Treating us like cr-p until we walk away on our own?

I left 3 years and 3 weeks ago with a RIF. It's was the worst 11 years of my life at Embarq/Centurylink. I was treated unfairly. But today I'm kicking a-s. I'm doing well. I took a year off. I had to. I was on the brink on dying from stress from... —  read more

My techserve keeps telling me its inactive. Anyone layoff in the passed can attest to that?

Those at the top should ask themselves, it’s high time, when employees start talking that they would prefer this company to be bought. It’s a sign that we’ve reached the rock bottom. I have absolutely no hope that anything will get better here. —  read more
