CenturyLink Announces Layoffs Despite Massive Tax Windfall

[gamewell45]

So much for workers at CenturyLink benefiting from the tax windfall as the company announces plan to cut jobs nation-wide..


CenturyLink has announced plans to cut jobs across the country, despite receiving $1.1 billion as a result of last year's Tax Cut and Jobs Act.
"CenturyLink has made its priorities clear. Instead of looking out for their customers and employees, they are chasing short-term gains in order to boost stock prices and put more money in the pockets of their large shareholders and top executives," said Brenda Roberts, Vice President of Communications Workers of America District 7 which represents more than 11,000 workers at CenturyLink.
"It's disgraceful," said Lisa Bolton, Vice President of CWA's Telecommunications and Technologies Sector. "Cuts like these devastate working families and the communities that CenturyLink serves. CenturyLink is laying off well-trained, dedicated employees and trying to get by with low-wage contractors while CEO Glen Post looks forward to a gold-plated retirement."

I think an explanation is owed to the employees at CenturyLink.

Explanation to the workers of the company. You make too much money and we can't expand and service our customers the way we should so we have to let you go.

Be of good cheer and we wish you luck.

Bye now.

First of all background, Century Link was Sprint the Telecom of the south, sprint was so bad it went bankrupt around 12 yrs ago and sold to century link a private telecom.

All I can tell you is that no one i know has telephone service with century link anymore, everyone that still has home phone has it with the Cable Company which is half the price with far better service.

The tax cuts have nothing to do with Century Links horrific customer service and phone service, they came out with a package Phone Internet Sat Tv and its a flop because its too expensive and cant compete. The tax cuts might have kept them afloat a few months longer

For the record, a tax cut does not mean you get free money from the government. A tax cut is being allowed to keep your own money.

Good point tax cuts are meaningless if you dont have enough money coming in

No. A tax cut is being allowed to keep more of your own money.
