Senior management is focused on 1 thing. Raising the stock price. And they will do it at your expense and at the expense of our customers.

denies CenturyLink a 6 year waiver of fines for service outages

Looks like they want to do another voluntary layoff for “select departments” for those who want to leave Lumen. No other way to cut costs aside from lowering head count it seems. Never mind the fact that we have FCC complaints piling up and are... — read more 

Pretty sad. I posted back in September 2023 that Frontier stock was worth more than Lumen. FYBR - Frontier $15.45 LUMN - Lumen $1.45 As of today, March 2024, Frontier has gone up $8.35 more a share. FYBR - Frontier $23.80 LUMN - Lumen... — read more

Since Lumen is selling or has sold or donated its office real estate except a few critical ones., how about we start acting like a fully remote workplace and stop doing old school in person gatherings?! The company was too cheap (and broke) to... — read more 

Watch out there is a new sherriff in the mountain region and no amount of north star or Dare to lead is going to save our customers. He has said he will meet all his numbers no matter what. He is prepared to lose customers to meet them. Be prepared... — read more 

What else can be sold off or eliminated?

Been here for decades but never come across one union member or been on calls with any. It's specifically forbidden to even discuss the topic as far as I can tell. So what's the deal? Is there any benefit to being in the union? Do Lumen union... — read more 

Well, WFS live today and it was a total cluster. It took some techs hours to get dispatched and this push the tech’s ability to meet our customer commitments. But those who developed this wonderful program, that was designed to make there life’s... — read more 

Get ready for even better customer service from Lumen. You can expect to see intervals on installation and repairs. Lumen is cutting off overtime and putting customers last. This will cause technicians to jep work. But they will not stop putting... — read more 

thoughts on product innovation

I don't know what's been going on lately, but I've been hearing about more and more people being outright fired - and for the smallest infractions. No severance, no nothing. I'm now thinking that it would be better to be laid off in the next round... — read more 

The only thing Dare to lead is good for is to rid the company of millions and make the author millions. I would hate to see how much money was spent for two venues, one of which they had to spend money to clean up a garage and fill potholes and the... — read more 

WFS is on the way on March 3rd. This is another way for management to control employees life and time, with a bonus of writing them up. It is also designed to take away time off. Lumen just wants to rid the company of tenure employees

How’s your company Margarita’s recipe coming along? Meanwhile another batch of Lumen Humans have been cut…such a heart.

Managers had meeting late today with Alexis. Union leaders have a meeting tomorrow with management and L2S creator. Are they linked? What are they going to throw at us with L2S?

Well here we go!!!!!! The email Brightspeed sent out Friday has LAYOFF written all over it and we are in the 2nd year. Cuts and more cuts

Has anyone noticed that since acquiring the Centurylink assets Apollo’s stock price has doubled? What’s that say about Lumen management? Yes I know Apollo invests in much more than telecom but after taking their money Lumen is still circling the... — read more 

Just heard from a friend at Lumen they are trying to push MS Copilot in every which way. However, when I hear how they are trying to utilize it, it just sounds questionable at best.

There was a post about April RIF? Why they hiding it?

Lets see, where to begin. They are looking at it thru some very rosy glasses at best. Add AI and ML, stop acting like a traditional telco, become disrupters ... fine. Move everything to the Cloud ("cloudify telecom" -- LOL) (moving the data is the... — read more 

this North Star malarkey is all talk and no action. The company cannot execute. It's all smoke and mirrors. I can tell you this. Montana is messed up. I'm certain this is the case for other markets. While Lumen may never file bankruptcy it will be... — read more

Any bets if our stock drops below $1.00 next week after report?

Latin for more layoffs are coming.

But senior management can have a big party in Colorado, but I'm told we still don't have a budget to buy supplies which stops us from serving our customers. Unbelievable.

Kate Johnson is doing an excellent job of role-playing Marie Antoinette telling us out in the field to just eat cake while they party it up in Colorado. I'm good with Kate Johnson's attitude and views on race and diversity. But none of this is making... — read more
