Information

 Current CenturyLink updates:

 The company saw a slight decrease in net income for 2018, though it predicts higher revenue and earnings for 2019. In 2018, CenturyLink had revenues of $23.4 billion and earnings (before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) of $9 billion with capital expenditures of $3.2 billion. Each worker generated on average $520,955 of revenues. Since acquiring Level 3 in 2017, CenturyLink has focused on cutting expenses to extract as many savings as it can from the merged entity to pay down its $36 billion debt. The company reduced its headcount by 6,000 over 2018 and cut its dividend in half.

 Point of interest, to CWA members, will be the compensation of CEO Jeffrey K. Storey. In 2018, according to the Summary Compensation table in this year’s proxy statement, Mr. Storey received total compensation of $ 35,655,646. Note that Mr. Storey started as CEO on May 23, 2018. Until that date, the CEO was Glenn F. Post, III. He received compensation of $10,744,214 in 2018, according to the Summary Compensation Table.

 Again, I say stand up you have a voice use it.
