Thread regarding Windstream Corp. layoffs

There seems to be no rhyme or reason to this round of Winstream layoffs

They say we are trying to save money but when you start getting rid of so many employees in departments, you cannot function! I can't imagine cutting anyone else in my department unless they close it down. Seems like that might be the future.

Apparently there are additional phases of layoffs. I guess this is what needs to happen so the 25 VPs we have can still get their bonuses. And don't forget the CEO still needs to keep his million dollar salary while the people that are laid off are now searching for jobs to feed their family! It's sad the direction this company has taken since Alletel.

Lol, Gardner is why we're in this mess. The final leadership changes he made lead us down this path, and we're still paying for them. If you pay attention to the right numbers we're not AS bad as most think. Yeah there's a long way to go, but nothing compared to how screwed we were under Gardner.

Having accountants run every part of company means failure. Have to have something besides number crunchers who hire their buddies and put them over areas they know nothing about. Sad where company is today since Gardner gone.

Are they throwing Darts to come up with these cuts ??? They cut several folks where I am (none of which were mgmt) and no one including their direct manager can provide reasons or even explain the thought process which determined these folks to be expendable... seems like cutting just to cut $$ with no regard for the department being crippled. Too many bean counters in control.
