Are the NY inbreds ready to rock? Or is Texas the master NOC?
I wonder
Does anybody wonder if the new executives know what its like for the bottom personnel? Do you think they believe the managers in-between us and them, you know the ones blaming everyone else but themselves?
CA CWA misleading members on Retiree Medical
CA CWA has “agreed” with FTR to change medical retirement to “bridge to Medicare” so once retiree turns 65 member and dependents LOSE medical coverage once this contract is ratified. Members who voted NO previously because of this assumed CWA was... — read more
No layoffs needed
They simply created such lousy working conditions that nobody wants to stay here. All the people who have options are using them at this point to leave Frontier behind. I've been looking as well and there's nothing that could make me change my mind... — read more

Frontier is another margin call
Just waiting for the bust!
Unions
If the Unions genuinely care about job security, why on Earth would they do everything they can think of to try and make our company unsuccessful. Seems like kinda crazy logic, but perhaps logic isn't their strong point ;-)
Time to negotiate 824!
With frontier having to satisfy the shareholders by adding as many fiber customers it can by the end of the year it’s time for the local unions to take advantage of this opportunity! Start negotiations now!! You have the leverage! They need what you... — read more

FYBR
Government sham. Stop the subsidy! Write your Congressman!
More layoffs and another vp/dir Hired.
At some point the only full time people at frontier will be VPs, Dir and a few reps in each state to set up tables at events. The rest will be vendors and contractors.
The lack of training around here!
It's utterly embarrassing how little info anyone is given. Management and VPs should be ashamed at themselves but they don't care.
