I see Dare to Lead has been "postponed until 2024" Yet another failed woke initiative to add to the long list!

The SLT has no clue. Everything comes from the top down. No one seeks our input even though we are the front lines. We sell nothing. We install nothing. The competition is cleaning our clock. I have to believe that there will be a force adjustment in... — read more 

Hey Gang! It's time for another survey! No Thanks! Beware, this one does not say it's confidential.

Anybody else notice that they took the stock price off of the new Inside Lumen homepage? I guess if you hide the problem it will help it go away!

Are there no new service offerings to talk about? Instead, there is a press release on Microsoft CoPilot. Really?

Anyone else get tired of Kate’s celebrity schtick? It feels like whether it’s on inside Lumen, LinkedIn, or any other platform, everything has to be some kind of photo op and politician type quote. Is it too much to ask that the CEO just do their... — read more

When's the last time you received a pay raise?

I guess Nate didn’t make the cut, that new role only lasted a couple of months. It’s almost like field operations is a disaster.

Things are slow. We are not selling much. When was the last time you saw Lumen announce a major win? When was the last time you saw any capital projects in your area? Is a reduction in force coming? Will Lumen be offering a VSP? Thoughts? — read more

Rumors have started about September layoffs. Is there any truth to that?

Can't help but think that Colt may be having a bit of buyer's remorse... The assets they agreed to buy a year ago were valued so much higher than they are today. I am certain it would cost them money to back out, but they have to be giving it some... — read more 

If senior management was serious about making Lumen Technologies a successful company it would go to each market and ask the front-line workers. Currently where I work, we are selling very little due to not having any compelling product to sell. We... — read more

Anyone here at Lumen hearing about broadband projects being funded by BEAD? https://broadbandusa.ntia.doc.gov/funding-programs/broadband-equity-access-and-deployment-bead-program

Senior management has no clue as to what is happening or not happening in some of their markets. I look at all of the corporate communication but it is intended primarily for those that work in the ivory towers as opposed to those in the field. Where... — read more

Did somebody leak the upcoming earnings report?

I'm not trying to justify it, but I understand those who decide to do so - some intentionally "try" to get on the layoff list and there seem to be quite a few instances of this?

If BrighSpeed bought Lumen after Lumen sold them the states we couldn't seem to get any revenue from?!?!?? True, proper leadership shows what is possible when your focused on a task and truly run by Industry professionals!

Corporate appears vacant. Executives have fled Monroe. It appears that it will be moved to Denver in the near future..........
