Lumen's Q4 Earnings - What's the take?
73
0x7371…407fSo, Lumen's Q4 earnings just dropped, and honestly, I'm a bit confused by the mixed signals. Revenue is down year-over-year, which isn't surprising given the market, but they're talking about 'strategic investments' and 'fiber build-out' as growth drivers. On one hand, it sounds positive and forward-thinking. On the other, I can't help but wonder if these 'investments' come at the cost of current staffing. We've seen restructuring before, and sometimes aggressive cost-cutting follows less-than-stellar financial reports, even if the narrative is optimistic. Has anyone analyzed the numbers closely? Are these 'strategic investments' likely to translate into more jobs, or are they a precursor to further workforce adjustments to meet financial targets? Curious to hear what others think about the long-term implications for employees here.
