I was proud to work for Qwest, Lumen... not. Zero stars... - Senior Software Engineer Lumen Employee Review

At CTL merger, there were hundreds of reclassifications in job titles which were only demotions. No merit or cost of living raise in 5+ years. 1% raise in the past decade. They figure... not if one is worthy of a raise, rather the criteria is, at what point will the person quit to find better pay elsewhere. If person is over 55, HR knows statistically, they flat will never resign. So, all those worker-bee persons over 55 never see a raise, ever again while at Lumen.
