The local folks are about to start Engineering projects, managing them and handling the billing when all is said and done. If you thought you were backlogged before, get ready! Just heard about it in Denver.

Was that just a rumor that was proven wrong or is there still a chance of it happening?

Well it’s official Lumen has fallen for the contractor vs employee trap. It won’t be long until all CO and Gateways are completely unusable. They leave trash, remove fibers and just otherwise do not care. This is a bad idea.

Whoever runs this page just feeds into the craven fear people seem to love. Most people here sit at their computer and wring their hands itching and panting for the next bit of bad news to show up. Meanwhile, any jokes (e.g., the fake Kate post) get... — read more

Hearing that the Service Delivery group will undergo a large RIF in mid August. Anyone else hearing this rumor?

2 OSP engineers in NM walked out 7/16

I've seen so many formerly dedicated people just doing the bare minimum now. What was the breaking point?

but does anyone ever see Kate J come right out and address the many layoffs over the past few weeks, or just continue to RIF more workers every month until she feels the time is right to sell off the remaining parts ?

Anyone getting any word on anymore layoffs....

Just looked at Akira org chart. They have more VP and directors than actual employees. This is gonna be a blood bath

Can we at least agree on that?

Layoffs happening right now.

I actually enjoy working here. The pay isn't incredible but it's fine. The work keeps me interested, and the people on my team make the day go by faster. So I'm genuinely worried about getting laid off. I don't want to start over. I don't want to... — read more 

Pretty bad company and their hiring process. Guess if you show any success they do not want to hire you. They want mindless drones.

Should be exactly what its always been, "The Fleecing of Lumen Humans" . She might as well tell the truth while she lines her pockets.

Why is it Executive leader ship can’t give raises, but they can hire two more of their friends for VP positions we don’t need?

Is it the usual or have they changed anything?

With all this good news being said about Lumen, why are raises for non-union employees not being given?

I applied to several jobs. Got an interview that went great. Haven’t heard anything in several weeks. Also haven’t been told no or a rejection email. Just been sitting there. How long is the process?

listening to Chris Stansbury talk about his race car while at the same time talking about shutting down legacy telecom along with our jobs is really quite amazing. He gets the gold and we get shafted.

Any word on how many?

Cost of living is skyrocketing, why can’t HR see this?

Did everyone take their 10 minute survey and let management know how swell everything's going? Love the continous gaslighting from 1st level management to cull the remaining workforce that they could not get rid of. Lumen, the AI informers, were... — read more

Rumors floating of 15-25% layoff coming.

Who's moving to enterprise? Payroll code changed Sunday for those moving. Good thing bad thing?

Anyone else under Prigg hearing rumor's about going back into the office? I honestly dont care, however majority of my team is freaking out. ( as some have moved states away ) Heard managers have to, and then techs in the NOC 2/3 days a week

Awfully quiet here…
