We just pivoted into bankruptcy. Even if we appeal, currently we’re in default

Will Windstream be allowed to use the stock for matching purposes going forward

Not sure what's going on but stock is down 40% in after hours trading. Only news big enough to move the stock like that would be default.

My manager pulled me aside last night and advised that some people were notified on Wednesday and more people would be notified today that their last day is on 3/1. Anyone else in Support or a NOC hear this? We are a week away from announcing the... read more

It’s sad every group has thrown in the towel and posts hate messages. Wanted to take an opportunity to lighten everyone’s day and create a post with buzzwords Used at Win. Most sound like a CIA mission. Lots of Pivoting But the herd is trapped... read more

Everyone employed at Windstream will be outsourced in the next 12 months including the sales team. Indirect channel is taking over and all other functions will be pushed overseas. If not, bankruptcy is coming for you. If you don’t believe it, jut sit... read more

I read these posts and shake my head, and I call BS to them all :) The sky is fallinaseg, the sky is falling says the chicken, or the boy who cries 'wolf'. First off, about me. I sit out of the Twinsburg Ohio building, been here about 4 yrs, give or... read more

People are venting at the destruction of Windstream. No raises...not a prison, more with less, fake leadership. The fact that Directors on up get stock bonuses, managers up get a bonus, more VP's than they know what to do with, Directors with 2 - 4... read more

Confirmed transport group is no more for the NOC, that's sad. Techs will be transitioned into data and voice groups or let go. Jobs being outsourced to India....b/c that makes sense. This company is going down the c-ap hole with TT riding that wave... read more

Time and time again I see on this dumb site: "Layoffs coming on (date) tell everyone!! " This "Town Hall" will just be like the others. No Layoffs - No bad news. Just TT bringing up this years goals just like he did in previous Town Halls. You all... read more

How do I attend? I'd like to listen, at least.

Sorry, just another rant post. Anyone else feeling their upper management getting very stressed and becoming evil? Are they not expecting a massive decrease in productivity? You just laid of 3 of my coworkers and you want me to be okay with picking... read more

Don't attend the Town Hall, call in sick. This would send a clear message to TT.

Lets start a list of questions for TT to answer on the Thursday's Town Meeting call 1 - Will employees receive any adjustments to pay this year or will their compensation continue to lose value? 2 - Was reducing Windstream's Capital market value from... read more

For a good laugh, check the yahoo stock section for WIN in the comments section - probably one of the Little Rock Zombie Executives are tooting fake news again about how great WIN is - 'Cameron'. He does have one thing correct - WIN is the WORLD... read more

I am becoming increasing frustrated with Windstream customer advocates (at least the one assigned to our account) horrible project management cue Benny Hill soundtrack. I don't see an avenue for complaints, or to demand a new customer advocate that... read more

Oh, to be a fly on the wall in TT's office to hear what he has to say about the dismal stock prices. I'm sure that LL will give him a reach around to cheer him up, as he whispers staff reduction in his ear.

What will happen?

All employee meeting next Thursday with TT. Any clue what this is about?

We have to give service away to beat Ritter. Ritter is a joke, so what does that tell you. Win the first ckts and never win again. Once you go with Win you don’t come back.

Windstream is a below average Telecom company barely surviving on the oldest technology. They are lead by the worst management team I have ever seen. They over-work and greatly underpay their employees. Do yourself a favor and leave before you get... read more

Windstream is making all the right moves to transform the business away from the legacy products. The only question is did they pivot in time.

The executive has been trading commodities and has decided it’s now a good time to enter the toilet paper business. They believe they can sell toilet paper with their WE solutions as part of the “over the top solution” because the customer will need... read more

How many people are "getting let go" in Rochester for taking hot pockets, Doritos, and Nestea without paying?

TT and his Zombies are just figuring out NOW that copper is becoming irrelevant???? https://www.telecompetitor.com/windstream-ceo-eyes-gigabit-fixed-wireless-sees-copper-becoming-irrelevant/ Most other telcos saw this 10 to 15 years ago, and invested... read more

I’m wondering how many got the axe. Anyone got a total?

Laid off after 19 years. Seems to me the people let go were some of people who had been there a long time and had higher (but still lower than industry standard) salaries. I'm leaving with a unique set of knowledge and skills, specific to the... read more

I heard that if you work in the ERC they are offering relocation assistance to Guam and Suriname. Does anyone else have more information on this?

Windstream set the time and date for its fourth-quarter, full-year earnings report. The conference call will take place at 7:30 a.m. CST on Feb. 21. All the details regarding this, for those that are interested, are provided in the link below... read more

If there are folks that got cut I would appreciate if they posted what location and what department they are in. Also, additional info is useful, like the manner in which they were laid off and other details. Think that it would be useful info for... read more

I heard yesterday they're nowhere near the desired number and that more layoffs are planned throughout the week to get there. Not sure if this is true, I have no idea where the person got their info, but since this is Windstream, I'm leaning more... read more

Layoffs today in CLEC OSP Engineering, along with IT.

Many of the layoffs today were based on pay. The senior people with the most knowledge were released. I don’t know how we are going to get by with the people we have here now. Isn’t it illegal to fire people based on pay? Guess we will all have to... read more
