Does anyone know how Max is doing? Christmas is around the corner so I'm sure TT is holding your bonus to get him new dog treats. Oh he will probably keep a couple of millions for himself. Sad place this is.

Anyone heard about a potential sales RIF in September? Not sure if it's simply cutting underperforming folks or something bigger.

Left for greener pastures a while ago but wanted to check how the software powerhouse was coming along. I’m sure tons of great software has been written by now but I can’t seem to find any mention of it anywhere. What gives?

I finally got a better offer, but now I'm kind of in a dilemma. Anyone else who has doubts whether to leave despite being sick of this place? *Those who switch and supposedly ended up in better paying jobs need to understand they were probably... —  read more 

News out today - so depressing. "Sixty percent of workers who switched jobs from April 2021 to March 2022 saw their real earnings jump — by 9.7 percent on average." 'Those who stuck with their company fared poorly. Only 47 percent saw their real... —  read more 

Hearing about it a little but was curious how widespread it was.

I know this is a layoffs forum and people are unhappy and like to vent, but there's venting and then there's venting. There's so much name-calling, insults, and condescending replies for no good reason. If you're going to turn on somebody, turn on... —  read more 

Remember when TT asked Judge Drain for 20 million as a incentive to keep him and his boys motivated to keep the company afloat? Today it is still declining and he got it during a bankruptcy. You got nothing. I'm done now.

OMG, you people crack me up. Living each day wondering if today is RIF day, get a life. I have been with WIN 11yrs. I remember when I first started, I would see the old timers, the dead weight, the lifers as they called themselves sitting at the... —  read more

Your leader TT will take you to the promise land. Oh, after he push mows his lawn and post about how hard it was. Then he will take a trip to the Alps again and post about it. Then there is Max. He treats Max better than his employees. Then he will... —  read more

My impression is that managers here waste a lot of time on things that don't really matter much, while issues of importance to employees and to the future of this company in general are swept under the rug. How much longer will it be like that?

TT and MM - you win - I am so miserable at Windstream that I cannot function. Am I being punished for not using pronouns correctly? My pay has fallen so much against inflation that Windstream soon will not be my main source of income and I will... —  read more 

Thoughts other than TT spinning the responsibility toward the individual contributor instead of accountability for his organization infrastructure and a concern for employee satisfaction?

I see many people are hitting the job market these days. A few people that I know already left at the beginning of the year. I know all of us will find that there is a lot wrong with this company, but I ask the people that are actively looking for... —  read more 

Anyone know about 5 o'clock tonight meeting

So, my husband and I are thinking about buying a house. I thought it a good idea to have a 'heart to heart' with my manager about my job security before making such a move. Here is what I was told, " Our days are numbered, but we need to "watch... —  read more

When inflation rises and wages are flat its called stagflation. Windstream has been perfecting this for years. NEVER go to work at this company unless you are truly into Masochism. Who knows - Masochists of Windstream may be the next Employee... —  read more
