Windstream created ERGs for specific societal segments. Today 6 new Directors, 5 belong to one of the special Employee Resource Groups. How far does it need to go before we can call it biased and discriminatory??

My big complaint is the lack of transparency in this company. I think we deserve to be at least a little more transparent. Someone said it well: there is never enough information to be able to paint a full picture when it comes to layoffs. However... —  read more 

I have a feeling that there are constant layoffs in this company. It is impossible to be productive in such an atmosphere. How do they think that someone will do their best if there is a possibility that they will not work in this company next month?... —  read more

Does anyone have any details on which groups might be most affected by the possible upcoming layoffs? I know no one is safe, but maybe some groups are less safe than others.

As scheduled meetings are postponed, I am now even more anxious and suspicious that the reason for this meeting is layoffs in the coming period. Why did they cancel the meetings so suddenly I wonder? Does it seem to you that layoffs are in the... —  read more

Just look at out competition - some of them have much better results than we do but all of them vary from bad to worse in the way they treat employees. If you are tired of the toxicity, politics and no job security, my advice is to look at smaller... —  read more

Time to push mow the lawn.

I heard a rumor that Windstream will try to "claw back" some severance pay if the laid-off employee gets a new job during the severance period. Does anyone know if this is true? Has it happened to anyone?
