Has there been any news about the employee survey? That happened over three months ago and then crickets.
Projected cuts?
Any grumblings about more cuts or people leaving?
Just an excuse for more cuts
That's all this latest rumor is about. You buy a company, you get a chance to get rid of redundant positions, and somehow the number of such positions is always huge. As if not all of them are redundant, but were somehow marked as such because, why... — read more
Fidium
The rumors are legit. Talks ongoing for Uniti to acquire Fidium.
Rumor: Uniti + Fidium Fiber
anyone else hearing that merger rumor?
Social Media Guidelines
Anyone else get the social media refresher. That's the funniest thing they've put out in a while. Says to report any violations, but to who. FL has a director that got demoted from manager to engineer for posting a racial comment. What was the end... — read more
John Harrobin
John Harrobin is a total charlatan. Knows nothing except how to cut prices to gain volume. A Monkey could do that. Zero marketing skills and a nepotist to boot. He will be the undoing of.our company.
What Is The Future Here?
What is our future here? CLEC cannot sell new logos…Kinetic Business is just moving cups within the existing base. What is our future here? Hard to see it working out.
Kentucky Leadership
Just awful!
Channel Support Question
Are they still here?
Management disconnect
You can tell how disconnected management is from the company and how they never actually talk to people. They get on a meeting and just spew like everything is great. Soon as you address issues they turn a blind eye because it requires them to do... — read more
Frontier on the Verizon
Wonder if DO is bringing any more people that Frontier wanted to can. He brings over these people that sit there and say Hi to a team one time. Be like im going to be engaged once a month and then you never see them again. Oh look another meeting... — read more
Employee ratings
There has a been a interesting string of posts here about how morale is improving at Uniti. If that is true how do you explain the falling employee ratings on glassdoor? It has shrank over the last year to 3.0 out of 5. That's the lowest of any major... — read more
Kinetic Business Back & Better Than Ever Before
Kinetic Business is thriving like never before. The group here now is quite simply the best there is, was and ever will be!
Kinetic is Winning!
Kinetic - Consuner and Business - is doing great. Leadership is strong and supportive. People in sales are happy. Not sure why the negativity here.
HIRINGNEED
"If business demand requires hiring, what's the justification for layoffs? A balanced workforce strategy is important."
Uniti Bore Crew Strikes Gas Line
In Twinsburg Ohio last week a Uniti Boring Crew struck a gas line they later claimed was incorrectly located by a 3rd party locating company. So far nobody believes them...
Whole company is garbage.
Uniti is on the path to being the most poorly run company in history. They now are looking for new vice presidents in many departments because they have laid off so many and lost so much revenue they are now in panic restructure while looking to sell... — read more
Love to see it
On Glassdoor, when you go to reviews, the entire first page of latest ones are negative. Good. People are waking up to what this place really is and warning others about it.
Rules for thee, not for me!
Rules for thee, not for me….. seems to be the mindset around this place. But I guess when trying to get the union to decert, everything is fair game on the company side. Had a tech get fired for not telling the truth, because it violated the... — read more
The death of Kinetic
More layoffs are coming, they recently took away all the company vehicles from the door-to-door teams and replaced it with a $300 a month stipend and no mileage reimbursement. And if you factor that in with all the stupidity that has happened with... — read more
Any day now
Waiting any day now to get the call to be RIF. That’s all I want. Come on DO bring over more failed Frontier people. What’s holding you back DO?
Time Study
Looks like employees manager level and below will have to start logging their activities for a “time study.”
Blowing smoke
It is hilarious watching all the smoke being blown about Kinetic winning all these women’s workplace awards…. Where are all these Women at in President and CEO roles? That is where it should be visible… otherwise it’s just a feel good smoke screen…
We have been duped
The ceo said for months that layoffs would be complete "by 1Q." Instead layoffs continue well into 2Q and cmo said on kinetic call yesterday that layoffs are a good thing so we don't become bloated like kodak. The foundation has been put down for... — read more
Failed company union busting
Looks like the company’s effort to union bust backfired again. Preying on all the new construction guys and new techs might have worked in NC, but failed horribly in FL. Over 80% of votes were to keep the union. JS is now 0-2 in his efforts!
Whoa. Which one of you went here? :)

Three blind mice
Even the cheese did not stand alone this week.
Another Thursday and?
So here we are thursday and what nothing? I mean there is one more next week but still.
Are we Frontier now?
Looking at new directors and senior directors for consumer, direct, and channel for Kinetic. 6 out of 7 are an easy find on LinkedIn from Frontier. It's shocking at how much new upper management folks are from Frontier.
Evil
Looks like T-Mobile will buy kinetic, and more layoffs coming. Uniti executives definitely securing their seats in he-l
4/16 - We are in trouble
The liars are at it again. I heard from my manager that another big round will happen on 4/16 and this one will wipe out several organizations. What is the point of doing all of this in phases instead of just one big change? We were told that all... — read more
Segra to Buy Uniti
Name to watch
T-Mobile and Others Checking Uniti Assets?
Buckle up! Now tell us Frontier’s clan didn’t come over for any other reason but to help secure the sale. The writing has been on the wall. “One source told the publication that T-Mobile (TMUS) and TPG could be partnering for an offer for the... — read more
Manager surveys
Time for old Windstream and Kinetic managers to get the axe. Its already started but the last few surveys have been about managers only. Quite a few needs to go because they are clueless and when you try to actually help them they want to get... — read more
Work hours
Not sure what the big deal was about me edging during a team meeting?
Liars
They laid off a whole group of people today, some with over 3 years at the company. If you still have a job I highly recommend you find a backup plan.
More Frontier
More frontier people started this week. Some of these people are downright id--ts. Why they’re here and how they have made it this far with titles like “senior director” make no sense. More vest wearing finance bros part of the chain.
Are layoffs done?
Can we be certain?
