Now that I'm leaving, I don't care what happens in this company or what the future will bring, but if there's any advice I can give, it's that you should never linger too long! Gone are the days when loyalty was valued perhaps a little more. I’ve... — read more 

I left a CTL a few years back! Before I left, I ran many successful programs. When the new HR regime came in, I was told it was CR-P! If you couldn't track it under the new HR regime, it was not a valid program. If you are blue, green, gold, or... — read more 

I took the stla package the company says I and in a temporary layoff. So I can't collect my 401k.

It's another way to cut employees.

But it seems to me that they are doing their best to get rid of such talented people who work hard. Why would someone who has more technical knowledge than their superior stay here and be humiliated? I'm only hampered by age, because it's hard... — read more

VSPP offered in Utah again. When will it ever end?

Heard that this weeks union meeting was rescheduled due to company bringing back the last surplussed techs. Anybody hear anything?

If you test positive for Covid you can get short term disability. That’s how we have been doing it at our office. Use one week of PTO then short term until you are “well enough” to return.

Either things have quieted down - or everyone is gone.......LOL

Judging by what is happening in the company, I would say that the goal of those at the top is to destroy this company. It's hard to believe, but everything they do results very unfavorably for this company. It is even harder to believe that they... — read more 

It's an unmitigated dumpster fire. We have executive managers who take no accountability, lousy working conditions are resulting in tons of attrition, morale is at an all-time low... I'm not sure if there's a way for things to get any worse... — read more

Are they keeping the CTL name in the 16 states unsold? Thanks.

It’s hard for people to realize but this company has been a steaming pile of sh-t ever since centurytel bought qwest. I specifically remember being in shitville when Nacchio ran us in the ground. I can’t believe any person who still works here can... — read more 

I hope management completely smashes the CWA. They are completely worthless. It’s hard to imagine a more worthless organization. I have been giving dues to what end. F them.

Lumen is expected to changed their name to “Lemon”. After the most recent quarter, Lemon will be the more appropriate name going forward. That’s how we refer to it on Wall Street.

Treating your workres with poor labor relations, running a business that will churn or numbers at all costs doesn't fix the problems for the customer or is prudent use of the labor they are paying for. No or low investment growth so desperately... — read more 

I find it hilarious, reading comments like “the company doesn’t care about us”, or “leadership is so d-mb”. Every time someone doesn’t get their way they get bu-t hurt. You get paid bi-weekly that’s all that is owed to you. Loyalty has never... — read more 

Oh how it shows how much they care by selling us off one chunk at a time. Will this money be used to upgrade and maintain what’s left? Nope, it will evaporate into corporates pockets and there still will be no focus on the future. Many managers and... — read more 

Have you ever worked in a company that had more incompetent leadership? I have not. And I worked in several companies before I came here. How can anyone believe that better days will come here, when we are led by such incompetent people? It would be... — read more

That is, disappointed in those who run it. Bad moves one after another. Is it possible that almost no one here can even remember their last good move? That's awful. Sometimes it seems to me that they do not want to put this company back on track but... — read more

Wonder if they are celebrating in Latin America

That is, which states does Lumen want to keep? In any case, the situation is hopeless because there is no future here and we should flee from here ASAP.

I don't intend to wait for them to show me the door. The situation here is getting worse and worse and looking for a new job is an absolute priority. However, I am a bit disappointed because in two months I received only one offer which was not... — read more

I can't afford to lose my job right now, and if the sale goes through I most likely will.

I have been looking around and there are jobs out there, but none seem to fit my needs. Pay isn’t the issue but having good health insurance is. I’ve been searching for over six months and just when I felt like giving up and putting it on hold, one... — read more 

In south Florida local 199, Lumen is requiring service technicians 6-10s but informing us their going to reduce head count by 12 by end of July. Does this make any common sense at all? Who is running this outfit anymore!

I have a fairly stable job, like my boss, 3 to 4 years here at CTL... I am being offered 25% more to jump the ship and I am not sure what to do. I am in my late 30s and I am single... Thoughts?

South Florida is now offering a vsp there target is 12 techs. If not met they will lay of the remaining
