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

It's all about knowing the right people
There aren't many good things to say about CenturyLink, but there are so many bad I'm not sure where to start... Management is incompetent, biased, and useless... For example, they'll pick where to forward incoming calls, always choosing their... — read more
What happened to customer satisfaction?
I remember the time when CenturyLink was all about customer satisfaction. Where did those days go? To say that things have changed since then would be an understatement. Today, we don't even bother to train our support properly. I've seen people get... — read more
CenturyLevelLink3
We have to consider the fact that after this MERGER layoffs are often accompanied by severance packages so I expect there to be some form of expense as a result of the layoffs. Granted these expense will be one-time restructuring expenses. . Even... — read more

Swirling the Bowl
After 35+ years it was finally time to abandon the sinking ship. Best move I ever made. All I can say to my past co-workers is do what you can to find something else, your mental health and happiness is worth far more than the wages. Without... — 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

Early Retirement
I just retired early 2.5 weeks ago. It would have been nice if my VP could have dropped a hint that this was coming. I had a strong feeling they were leading up to this. First, in April they reduced the max severance almost in half to 30 weeks. Then... — read more
Service and Employees
Some things never change... I am so glad I was able to retire early and get out before it became Century Link. I have only heard bad things about them from folks on the inside. Service and employees are at the very bottom of priority list. So much... — 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

Asleep at the wheel
I work for them. First week of the NFl and they give you The Red Zone for a couple of hours for free. Last year you could buy it but this year they roll it into a crappy bundle for twice the price so I don't get it. They cut off the feed at the end... — read more
Centurylink is the worst place to work.
Place is horrible, leadership has only worked for the same company or acquired companies. Have about as much of a chance of being a tech company as I do becoming Santa Clause. If you get whacked, your going to be better off. Filled with B and C... — read more

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.
