If you were laid off last week, consider yourself lucky. I know it might not feel that way right now, but in the long run you'll be much better than if you had stayed here. The majority of my former coworkers who were laid off in the last 12 months... — read more
Topics regarding layoffs at CenturyLink
Months of unsuccessful job hunting
I would gladly give away my bonus, in the unlikely case I actually get it, just to somehow find another job. I would gladly give up everything, just so I am not in this company anymore. I also tried lowering my standards, but it’s so hard to find a... — read more
STI Results
Supposedly, the bonus payout is being announced today. With the terrible financial results, as reported, this may be the first year that a bonus is NOT paid out.... yes, it's happened before when it used to be Level3. Any bets?
Cameras in technicians trucks
No money to fix the plant. Lets spend 5million on cameras to put in company vehicles.
Do they know anything other than cuts?
There is almost no more positive news to arrive from this company. I can’t even remember when a good business move was made. All we hear now are layoffs, because they do nothing more than make cuts. If only they could do some good things at the same... — read more
Layoffs in COLORADO
Local planning layoffs, given packages.
Vspp offered in Las Vegas
Vspp offered in Las Vegas titles include cable, customer service techs, network and design services.
Pandemic as an excuse for everything
Does anyone else believe the layoffs are the result of a pandemic circumstance? It’s such a lame excuse, just as this company is lame. If the pandemic hadn’t happened, everything would be the same as it is now, I’m sure of it. I am surprised that... — read more
SLC
Nice team play to the Petty CO tech in SLC calling his boss on a mask.
LUMEN CTL officially being sold!
Saw this in an Article. Cash out your Retirement. Get your retirement while you can. This company also bought charter. Good luck to... — read more
Who else was lied to?
It took me less then a month to realize I was lied to at my interview about what my job would entail. I was too scared of losing my job at the time since I left another company to transfer here (I'm an id–t, I know) so I didn't say anything right... — read more
You can call Lumen, with the same terrible core
Rename with a new tagline which no one is convinced. Same terrible products, same terrible service, same terrible Snr management. A cover up to eventually sell off the burden business. Conform and "yes sir" "yes mdm" or out you go. No salary... — read more
Pay stagnates, expectations rise
I understand that the situation in every company is challenging, but it still seems to me that I work a lot more than they pay me. I can’t even complain too much when I know how many people don’t have any job at all, but expectations from workers... — read more
How did we get here?
It’s not clear to me how we got to the point where this company (left behind somewhere in the past) knows nothing but to give layoffs and do failed acquisitions. Literally just that. In my opinion, such a company has no future, but I hope I am wrong... — read more
What are we looking at next month?
There's been talk of more cuts...
is CTL/LUMEN involved in recent de-platforming for big tech?
Is CTL working for the deep state or the American People. Just asking for a friend. I've heard of providers being de-platformed by CTL recently.
VSP offered SWFL
Who’s coming with me
Integrity
Let's be honest only people with no morals or courage still work there. Just sayin stand up for yourself, the customer, something.
Happy New Year LumenLevelLink !
May you stay employed this year
PA NJ
Colleague informed me they intend to dismiss the existing NJ and PA consumer market technicians, and those functions will be performed by national technicians existing in those markets.
Thankful for the advice from colleagues
When I first started I was told to do 3 things. 1.) Grow my skill set. 2.) Develop & grow a network. 3.) Save for future impending layoffs. I was pretty green at the time but I took the guidance from people who have been around the block a time... — read more
Laid off yet?
Or are you one of those clinging to the Hope that somehow CTL/Lumen will rise above the ashes in the new world? Note that name and the slash? Remember the last time this happened? Sprint dumped us like a hot potatoe. Just like Lumen is getting ready... — read more
The Morally Corrupt Business Ethic of Millionaires with No souls are less than Human
Let go with ZERO warniing and just moved and signed a new lease. What kind of company would do this to someone right now? The holidays are aorund the corner. I pay my parents mortgage and have a brother who is handicapped that I support. What will... — read more
Become A Whistleblower At Lumen
Lumen finds it less messy to put corporate shills like CF in to remove any threats from whistleblowers. Evidence is already gotten. He will be answering in court.
When people return to the offices ....
*Haa! Just wait for the day to come when people have to go into the office and see the carnage this company has left behind. The office will never be the same and morale will be the lowest ever. Of course you will also still have to pay for parking... — read more

CenturyLink like all old phone companies are dying a slow death. Its not necessarily the management fault but technology has made it obsolete. They could of been Google but mistakes made years ago prevented that. Fiber to the prem will be around for... — read more
CenturyLink Layoffs 2021
Anyone would care to chime in with a prediction about potential CenturyLink Layoffs 2021? Any news or rumors?
Accustomed to the BS
How many of us have become used to the way things are done here? I am numb from the multiple layoffs we’ve had over the years and I don’t even blink an eye when I am denied yet another raise. I am used to the lack of vision our company has and have... — read more

Remember when?
Remember the time when this company at least attempted to treat us right? Because even that is no longer true. We’ve come to a point where we are “rewarded” with slap in the face bonuses and little to no raises. We are given metrics that are... — read more
Non Compete and Solicitations
The former President of Channel and SMB just took at job with a competitor. This just throws all non-competes in the trash is they try to come after you. This person went to a ATT shop and has influence so it will be interesting to... — read more

Reduction in Force. Only corporations as careless as this one systematically fire people weeks before the holiday season during a pandemic.
Severance Package - CenturyLink 2020 Layoffs
Does anyone know what CTL/LUMEN is offering in 2020 as a severance package? I was just let go, right before the holidays and am devastated.
Laid Off - No WARNING
I am being laid off tomorrow morning, no warning from anyone. I just moved, signed a new lease and my Boss knew ALL of this. I am devastated and do not know what will happen to me and my family.
Open Enrollment
Took recent VSSP. On Cobra. I haven't gotten anything about open enrollment. Has that already started? I don't trust the company to inform me that it is enrollment time and I don't see anything on the health and benefits site. Any help is... — read more
