Does anyone know of any legacy Level3 layoffs?

Heard 22 Level 3 last week in NJ were let go.
A lot of the posts seem to indicate a company that was sheltered, with high cash flow that was dispensed poorly on capital expenditures (little return). And also seems expenses got too high (e.g. holiday bonuses are unheard of nowadays).
At a former sleepy company the "more efficient" company came in and found a lot of "low hanging fruit", profits increased immensely in the first year from these expense reductions. Prior management provided the new company that opportunity. If it had been run right, wouldn't have happened. There was a lot of excess expense because the company was sheltered from the real world.
That appears to be what is happening at old CTL. Unfortunately, the employees pay the price after expectations were set by how the company was previously run. Everything that happened in the past is a sunk cost, doesn't matter. Goal is to improve going forward.
Ignorant posters think only CenturyLink has lazy employees , what a way to show your intelligence level . Union or no Union there is no way to make this kind of judgement unless you have a limited IQ
Skilled labor is not cheap
Cheap labor is not skilled
