So the union was able to negotiate another paid holiday, MLK day (management already had it) for craft…if you have been paying attention the last 4 contracts, many of was wondering at what peril or expense was this going to come at??? One... — read more 

All this mess in the company now, I think is primarily a consequence of the fact that the leadership does not have any vision or any well-designed plan for the future. They have completely lost their direction. Do you agree? It is also questionable... — read more 

I would not recommend anyone to consider Lumen as an option and I feel sorry for some new hires. Some of them are talented and have skills, but somehow got lost on their way and ended up here. The majority of those of us who have been here for a... — read more 

Oops .. I meant "transformation". Which could mean transforming for the worse. Transform from what works to something that -- well, we get richer doing. And here comes Kate, complete with her 'digital transformation' moniker and her twitter... — read more 

Congratulation to the Lumen Executive Team for loading $15B in market cap since 2018. Shareholders should be demanding clawbacks on compensation after Lumen enter the $6 handle territory in the stock market.

I hope the new company is successful. Does anybody know how many employees have moved to Brightspeed?

Lumen Technologies (NYSE:LUMN) stock drifted down 4.8% on Thursday morning to hit a new 52-week low of $7.28. Shareholder’s expect claw back on all restricted stock options. Where is Mr. 4th Generation and the greasy HR dude.

Thanks Jeff and the 4th Generation leadership team for that short but fantastic race to zero. Shareholders can’t that you enough for your marketing prowess, operation excellence, and customer success.

Maybe it's just me. Maybe I think that the grass is greener elsewhere, and it's not. Is there anyone who is comfortable working at Lumen and is not in a hurry to make an exit?

If you come from Level 3, be preparing to get let go. All of these GM’s and above are toast with little to show for it because the stock will be $5 in a few weeks. The clowns are being kicked out of town and are known losers in the industry. — read more 

The workload is unmanageable. They hire new contractors to do the same job as actual employees and PAY THEM MORE! I hope this is not true.

Hearing rumors that Range Telephone is buying Lumen Technologies/CenturyLink Montana, Idaho and Wyoming. Anybody else hearing this rumor?

Storey was fired and watch all managers top down be shown the door while their options will be worth little of nothing. Karma always come back to roost and all the management that used to treat their people like animals are getting ready to... — read more 

How many millions of dollars will Jeff get when he leaves next November?

If the management thinks that the employees here will do the work for 2 or even 3 people and that it can go on like that, then the management is very wrong. I have more and more obligations, but I don't care at all because I think I will soon find... — read more 

Lumen is highly corrupt and screwed up. End of story.

1 day left to show interest. Is this new net tech fiber splicing position a good move from broadband/network tech? What do you think?

An acquaintance asked me how I would describe the culture at Lumen. I think there is no more vivid description than that even those who were comfortable working in this place are starting to leave? Recently, a colleague who was the manager's... — read more 

When I read the ratified contract breakdown; the union said members would receive $1000 "within 28 days" of ratification. First it sounded like a scoundrel who behind on his bills, "sure I'll pay you, not now but within 28 days". But being told by... — read more 

I thought attrition would slow down a bit, but it still doesn't seem to be happening. I worked with great people, almost all of whom have now gone to competitors. Does the management understand the damage that is being done to this company? Do... — read more 

Are Enhanced Prem Techs a union job as it seems the company just made the position up? If layoffs do come will EPTs go first? My thought is that once they hire too many EPTs, like they did with the BBTs for the prism build up, they could call... — read more

That's the plan. Big push to get it built out quickly, then isolate the copper business so it can die. Take a look around, massive stockpiles of fiber rolling in, hiring of managers to oversee buildout. Next will be adding bodies to maintain the... — read more

Lumen can’t layoff with all their employees quitting. In the last 90 days my boss, her boss, and her boss quit. To be fair this was my 3rd boss since hiring in 2021…the two before her quit. My mentor quit. Even two SRO’s in my area quit. I would... — read more

Let’s get those dash cams in the technicians trucks this summer! None of them know how to drive, they spend more time picking their nose then watching the road.

Unless the idea behind is to motivate employees to leave the company, I really don’t know why so much micromanagement? They create enormous pressure here with their micromanagement. Nowhere else have I experienced managers having so little trust in... — read more
