Thread regarding Windstream Corp. layoffs

The AI systems are a joke.

AI can catch alarms in the network, but it fails to cancel the dispatch when the alarm clears. And it sends it directly to dispatch with no human review.

And you can create a whiteboard ticket for network maintenance, except AI isn't smart enough to check for that so you get another dispatch.

It's a sad joke. A truly pathetic effort that TT & his clowns proclaim will make things more efficient.

I hope the AI works better than say, 3GIS, Cherwell, Fortinet VPN, OFSC, DSI and pretty much all the SW powerhouse's attempts. This place it a joke.

LOL - back to the SW Powerhouse spin? I really have to ask who is fooled by these constant lies. Perhaps they are just lying to themselves.

'What cracks me up is the company email that was sent out after all of this that said they are working towards having an AI System...what a joke.'

If they had AI System to replace the LR 5 then smarter decisions would be made, and it wouldn't cost the company millions to pay these clowns for doing nothing.

These layoffs are always on Thursdays, I have been with the company 4 years, and this is not the first time they have done this. My daughter was one of the many that got cut this last time around. Two weeks prior my son in law got cut. I am in assignments and have seen Facility Provisioning, LSPAC, Tier I, Wifi Calling, NOC, Mitigation and POTS take a hit from all of this. I am sure they are not even close to being done yet. What cracks me up is the company email that was sent out after all of this that said they are working towards having an AI System...what a joke.

@nbn+1lFWl8LA - sorry to hear. I also got laid off in Nov 2022 after 22 years and have a wife with early stages of dementia on top of that - such a caring company.
A couple things - the NDA that they will force her to sign to get her severance was written by a mo--n and will not stand up in court - the enslavement clause about assisting Windstream as they deem needed for zero compensation was ludicrous. She can also file a discrimination case with the EEOC which does not violate the NDA

My wife was laid off today after 22 years. Sh*tty severance package, and the jobs went overseas. Sure wish Arkansas legislation could do something to punish companies within the state that take jobs away from hard working Americans and give them to foreigners. It's shameful.

Can confirm, my whole group got laid off at lunch with today being the last actual day of work, meeting was just to get personal emails to send details to and then they cut off access immediately

Sounds like fake news since layoffs don't happen on Thursday when payday is Friday of the same week.

So what are you saying is happening then?
