To: CLECdoesntknowILEC - I included your post below and want to add context. Windstream is one company. It is not ILEC, CLEC, Wholesale or Consumer. It is everything. There has been much speculation on this site about fraud. Speculation that... — read more

Has anyone heard all of the departments affected by the layoffs today.

When you have a serious question or concern you and anyone who asks gets ignored. But can have countless meetings about nothing.

No consistent direction….. No clear communication on anything but hit the number.. Nobody gets along here. We are broken.

Excited about the new direction coming for business. Both outside and inside sales teams focused on specific market sizes: SMB, Mid-Market and Enterprise. Will be managed and run like a professional sales org soon.

Tell Cliff D to do what’s right and bring them leads inside!

All these people in here writing messages, disparaging each other in different regions and different business groups. Do you think you act like a single entity? A lot of chest thumping and brow beating. No one is lifting anyone up here. Sales has an... — read more 

I saw the post from the weekend suggesting call center fraud. Why? Because we use DCRIS? Come on man. We talking about DCRIS? Come on man. That was written by a field sales rep for sure. If field sales reps need DCRIS to make their quotas, that is... — read more 

They’re wanting to sacrifice 5 of us, some are saying they’ll take a buy out, but where does that leave the rest of us? Everyone in the company thinks CO techs don’t do anything, but then you have the lateral techs, who don’t do jack sh-t, they both... — read more 

This Here……. What will happen to all those Missouri and Georgia tech referrals currently going to the Field Sales team in Charlotte?

So now since CST’s can’t refer sales to the D2D group the CST’s have started trying to run off the D2D Reps and CST are even putting out flyers and signs to get customers to call them and not the D2D reps. And some techs are going as far as lieing to... — read more

Sales Managers here are the worst. Literally the worst when it comes to talking to people or rather not talking to people. Letting people stay here that should have been fired or forced out years ago. You got people working here for 9-11 years and... — read more 

There will be a small fraction of people that still work there by the end of the year. I am curious how many people have not been cut yet.

Field sales is fraud sales. Techs don’t do their job as assigned. They find ways to cancel jobs or make excuses instead of doing the job they are assigned and the customer wants. Plus all the cheese is gone.

Really starting to feel better about things here. Lots to feel good about. Just need to stick together and stay positive.

It looks like the chief marketing officer in kinetic got the ax and they are moving that group over to enterprise.

There seems to be a lot of woeful tales of government workers being let go lately. Please post and share details of your layoff from Windstream on these news stories comment sections. Tell them all about Windstream layoffs being kept under the radar... — read more
