Anyone throw their name in the ring for the PRP?

She's already pulled back from involvement in the company. This just formalizes it. Gone within 12 months.

It looks like it came early this year.

VSPP is rare. They want to control who leaves and walk you to the door. They would have too many volunteers for VSPP offers in mass. They will just hand pick and walk people out with regular severance over the next year....

3 SRO's are gone from the Pacific Northwest as of this morning. I am sure that there are more RIF's happening today.

Are VSPP offers enhanced any or are they just regular layoff/severance package rates? Have there been any offers to anyone other than Techs?

Anybody have any updates on layoffs or VSPP offers for outside techs now that the fiber is gone? Being as short handed as we were when I retired in December I can't imagine they would but the people running the show aren't exactly the smartest... — read more 

How many were let go yesterday?

With the split and not technically working for att will there be a new forum for forged?

Rumor has it layoffs are happening right now. Possibly dark fiber teams…anyone else heard anything?

Ashley is out. Probably didn’t want all those layoffs planned on her back.

Farce, folly, or felony ?

Kate & crew attached themselves so easily to Naas . . I wonder what they pivot to next since DW (Dave Ward) bolted on 1/23/26 ?

Kate always likes to do it around the end of a month so they can avoid paying benefits to those RIFed for another month. Have to save money for the next friend of hers to hire for a senior level role, or the next Brene Brown boondoggle training.

What would be the Lumen 2026 STI/Bonus Expectations? Do they give STI/Bonus this year? If so what would be the expected percentage?

Any details if they got any severance / layoff / unemployment packages. Or where they outright fired since they were warned by Lumen that not taking their "similar job offers" with ATT would end this way. Will they have any recourse, has there been... — read more 

Telecom has been harsh on workers for years, and it doesn’t seem to be getting better. If you have a way out, take it. I made the jump and the difference is night and day. There’s a whole world of jobs that actually value you.

How likely is that there will be CenturyLink layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Good luck to everyone.

No increase in VSPP offering!???

just love seeing all the Linkedin posting of the various groups getting together for "end of year" celebrations , congratulating each other on such a great year, in the midst of continual layoffs. Still see Kate talking about "shaking" up... — read more

The offices are going to be closed tomorrow and Friday! What on EARTH!

I'm not seeing any QF ads anywhere now.

If you know, you know. The question that we've all been asking. Apparently, the CEO too.

Hearing a rumor they want this deal closed sooner then March 2026. They floated the date of Dec 8. Thoughts? Maybe they want this done before the end of the year.

Who is taking the offer and who is declining it and why?

Notice how after a layoff, the Lumen higher ups like to post about the "wonderful awards" they seem to garner from this group or that group, and directors like to post about "brain storming" sessions with subordinates that they are working on things... — read more
