We need proper plan for the future

I've been with CTL for a while. In the past few years one thing has become apparent: this company has no proper plan for the future. It's mostly on the upper management. They've been in turmoil for a while now which made them incapable of either... — read more

CENTURYLINK is planning on selling out to VZ or ATT

After they get rid of Level 3, why do you think that they are selling all of the data centers? Hello. They are in as much debt as Level 3, so why would they buy more debt? XO was Level 3s backhaul. Verizon now owns XO. They will sell all of Level 3... — read more

The chain of leadership is awful. Can't get anything done or changed due to to many supervisors. Moving stuff over seas has been awful.

Sales has caused many of our problems by over selling or creating orders that are wrong or unnecessary. No department can see what others can so you spend most of your time on the damn phone. Medical s---s due to the abuse by everyone and it just... — read more

Centurylink is the worst place to work.

Cutting in sales

I suppose they will be cutting sales first, they usually fire everyone who cannot not meet their ridiculously high quota. Although, heard a rumor they will be asking for volunteers first. Guess we'll find out soon. Good luck to everyone.
