So instead of increasing the pay band per tech level, or getting rid of the 100% of the middle of a pay band. The brainiacs decide to make 60% of the current tech 2’s all tech 3’s. Lol saturation. So they made the old tech two happy and the old... — read more

Leadership or culture. In either case, I advise anybody considering joining to keep walking.

Either the leadership does not realize the extent to which the employees here are dissatisfied, or they do but do not care. Do you think they are even interested in our complaints? Unfortunately, I think not.

I was in my "book club" today when it turned into a bi**h fest. Imagine the day after a 3 day weekend and 3 of the members "words" were "frustrated" This got me thinking of a book actually worth reading, The One Thing by Gary Keller (founder of... — read more

Yup, I can attest to the fact that Lumen is throwing anything against the wall right now in hopes it will stick, looking for a miracle. They don't even allow the time for programs to develop before they start kicking out those that were part of the... — read more

So I am hearing from management that there is a permanent wage freeze until the company goes under or at least five years. Anybody else? Run!

Just read an interesting post on one of the threads below. Is it possible that there are people who are still working here even though they haven't received raises in 7 years? I'm sorry, but that's hard to believe.

I have no intention of going above and beyond simply because I am not paid for it. Why are some people still doing their best here where they are underpaid instead of focusing their energies on seeking better opportunities? The company... — read more 

No raise in 6 years. The solution have everyone spend a few hours a week on a book club. The books were $28 a piece. That money would have been better spent taken care of a few employees. Hugs waste

Lumen is trying to place fiber and catch up to our competitors at a snails pace. One fact is that the money to buy and place this fiber is coming from Copper/Legacy customers. Customers do not pre-pay when ordering fiber but rather we place first... — read more 

This company has been total sh-t for quite a while. They haven’t valued their employees in years. Quality of service is tanking. Upper level management are clowns. You can rename sh-t several times but it’s still sh-t. Centurylink was the... — read more 

I know of many people who, like me, never answer the survey honestly. Probably even those at the top know that most are dishonest in their answers. So is there any point in doing those surveys or are we just wasting our time?

Contractors are laying off engineers.

Straight from the lips of a VP, Lumen previously funded the stock dividend payments through layoffs. Executive leadership nows says they will use that money to invest in the company instead of paying the dividend. One has to wonder, where they're... — read more 

It sure sounds like jumping the ship before it sinks would be a good idea here. Every month, they are selling off more of the company which never a good sign! Lumen was a good concept with horrible management, and it shows!
