Spectrum employees techs, how is the morale working for spectrum? Can you give some insight what it’s like.

Warehouse
What's it like working in the warehouse at charter?
I've been in the warehouse at Cox for close to 20 years so I'm just curious
Back office
Anyone know the pay for client implementation specialists at spectrum? And if they are in office or wfh?
is it official?
I cant find a reliable source, but a team member posted welcome to spectrum wink wink, google it. has the deal been made?
Bright Side?
Well, at least I won’t get that award feeling anymore when I say “I work for Cox”, or “I work with Cox”…
Leadership meeting - Day 1
Who is scheduled to attend a meeting with Spectrum Leaders on day 1?
Outside Plant Maintenance schedule.
Can someone from spectrum please tell us what schedule you work as Outside plant maintenance, please includes what area and how you guys handle backyard easements. We(cox) currently have two schedules - Sunday thru Wednesday 7am-6pm and Wednesday thru Saturday 7am-6pm. I work in the SW region.
Attendance Policy
Does anyone know how spectrum will be handling incoming Cox employees with their attendance policy. Does spectrum use occurrences like Cox does and how does Cox current employees attendance records affect the merger going forward?
Cox 2024 VSP question.
Do we know if the 3 year no hire clause in the severance package will be nullified now the merger is done?
I know that limit is almost over but having more opportunities for work would be nice.
Severance Package
Any word on what the enhanced severance package will be? A 10 year Cox employee; I'd have to move across the country to stay with the company. This won't be feasible with family obligations. I'm planning on working as long as they let me work at the market office and then taking the enhanced package. Anyone heard how many weeks per year of tenure they're planning to offer? The FAQs and welcome site don't specify.

Few Questions for yall Im with Cox btw
Just got hired a month ago is my job safe? Any news if anyone wfh in Oklahoma will be going back to the office? Just wondering because I just got a night shift and.....what will happen? Got a weird email saying my job title as a whole different department anyone else get that?
How do you feel?
2.5 year Charter employee here. I'm just curious to see how ya'll are feeling about the upcoming merger. I saw an email stating that the "Day 1" for Cox employees coming over is next week on the 20th and that services would be officially rebranded under Spectrum come mid September. There have also been significant management changes per region and there's definitely motion in place to integrate Cox's service areas with ours that we've seen (keeping details out in case big brother has got eyes in here). I've also have been hearing of some layoffs in the Carolinas and one of our departments that oversees overall transport now being scattered across other departments or walking away with a small severance and in the meantime, that department is now supposedly going to be contracted out. I'm sure a lot of ya'll aren't feeling happy go lucky about it and neither are a number of us if they decide to pick and choose who to keep and integrate based on seniority or what have you. Personally, I want to see it as job security with how much we're taking on and vice versa for ya'll comin over but anything is possible. What are your thoughts?
Anyone else get an email to return to office next month?
Not sure if this has something to do with the merger or if policy is changing for work at home people but it seems like working in center will be required for meetings now.
Pay freeze
Is it true that are going to keep cox employees pay the same for a year after close?
CPUC Vote
California Public Utility Commission just voted in support of the merger. 5-0 vote
PTO
Going from 192 hours to 80 hours a year of PTO is going to be rough, especially in a brutal job like NetOps. And pay staying the same? Honestly thought we would get at least a small pay boost. Nothing about this is sounding good, just the same work for less benefits.
Sorry
I'm sorry all the cox employees that will have to deal with Spectrum's business model and their customers. Its a damn shame that a failing company acquired another failing company and the FCC allowed it. That being said good luck y'all☝️.
Construction
Spectrum construction coordinator here, anyone work in Cox construction department in here?
