Now with the towers PD team being requested to relocate to TX, is network PD next? I heard that you won’t be considered “regional” unless you physically lay cable down/build the fiber etc from the discussions with the EMT.
History repeating itself??
Is writing on the wall here? I think this is what we can expect in the future. This happened on someone’s watch. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2018/10/24/employees-blame-cutbacks-poor-communication-for-frontiers-woes
is Elliot reclaiming the Crown?
In the history books of Crown Castle's glory days, a little company called Elliot Management Group made a website for the entire world to see called reclaimingthecrown.com. The website showed detailed strategy on how Crown could best return a profit... — read more
Sacred Towers: The Crown Castle Conundrum
Coming to a theater near you … In the heavenly heights of telecommunications, Crown Castle’s C-Suite is revered as a modern-day mega church. Yet beneath the holy high-speed connections, a yearly ritual of restructuring brews earthly trouble. The... — read more
That. Was. Awful.
No logical reason given for any of the moves. It has been wild seeing all decorum go out the window. I've never been less confident in the decision making abilities of the EMT. It is chaos. None of their reasons make sense and it is clear they... — read more
Everyone going to the DS Presentation at 1:00?
I wish someone would have the guts to ask if the decision to move 1300 jobs to Houston was made 30 days ago? 60 days ago? Or was it already in the works in July when we were told no further downsizing was being planned?
Strike
I know the severance and fear of retaliation will hold everyone effected hostage from being able to strike but if 1300+ people quit doing their jobs overnight I’m not sure the company could function. They’d either have to change their mind or they’d... — read more
Monday
Is anybody else dreading tomorrow? It's bad enough dragging ourselves into that office every single day while upper management works in the comforts of their own homes, but the idea of going in tomorrow and acting as though it's business as usual... — read more
if I had a dollar....
If I had a dollar for every restructure this company has undertaken in the twelve years I'm familiar with, there's on every 12-15 months, I could buy a cup of coffee in Houston.
Union fears
I heard the EMT was concerned about possible unionization. Any truth to that. Too late to save these jobs but they will sc--w the rest later. Unions were not a good fit for the old Crown when people came first, but with this shift to the people... — read more
They don’t want anyone to move.
They want you to “take” the severance but then start looking for work and find something else. Then they can deny you the severance because you didn’t work out the full transition period. Duh. They also don’t want you to relocate for lower level... — read more
Severance package for people who are on the current position for over 2 years only
Why should company pay severance to all who just got promoted, and still learning role. How would they train others to do the job. Waste of company money...
Unlimited PTO
Since it’s open enrollment, we need to be allowed to never work.
No more Remote Positions!
If you have access to CCI Reports…there is a report you can run to see who is Remote. There are a high number of VPs, Directors, and Managers who work from the comfort of their easy chairs at home. We need to raise our voices against this unfair... — read more
Forest Gump would be a better CEO
Stupid is as stupid does! Let’s make a huge decision based on an external consultant and exclude critical thinking from the leadership that actually runs the teams in this space. Great plan JB! One group I don’t see mentioned often is National... — read more
Relo package will be a joke
Heads up for those considering a move to Texas. Your relo package will be paid in RSU’s and not cash, meaning you front your move and maybe able to get repaid after 12 months from your relo date once it’s vests.
JB
Company is disgusting. They openly discriminate, to put unqualified people in management. It’s not what you know it’s who you..
Friendly Reminder
Open Enrollment starts next week, please do not miss updating your benefits.
Yea, Y’all thought it bad showing up 3 days a week
That Dam commute from PA to TX is going to be a 8itch! Go Astros!

Houston, we have a problem!
This is all terrible. All of it. It's still a business. They are doing what a business does. Tries to survive, if not thrive. They are doing what they "think" they need to do to survive. The decisions being made are by the same people who landed... — read more
COMPANY FAIL!
It’s the “Finding additional space in Houston” even-though we own 2 buildings in Southpointe?? and the “WE NEED YOU” for me… F*ck this company man. Do they actually think 1600 people will relocate? Id--ts… 100% will just hire “new college graduates”... — read more

Crown is like being in a narcissistic relationship
Full of gaslighting. Once you get out, it all becomes so clear. I promise.
Good Morning: From Your Connection
Does anyone know what time The Bull $hit Detector will be giving a C-Suite update? I assume it’s at 9cst…
Parting gift
All tenure paperweights we were “graciously” rewarded should be left in front of 2000 like a cemetery or mailed to Houston as a reminder of those they left behind.
Consolidate the Regions?
It was mentioned on another post that Crown will be consolidating the regions. Just looking for more information about what that would mean.
Do shareholders know 1000 teammates aren’t moving?

Is anyone actually considering going to Houston?
Is anyone serious about going? I just wonder how many people are going to take the severance and run or just quit very soon.
Let's Unionize
Let's unionize and get someone who can fight for us and not be pushed around by JB and LN: https://www.opeiu.org/NeedAUnion/JoinContactUs.aspx
Lawsuit anyone??
Can we collectively sue CC? I mean seriously, what the heck are we doing letting them f us over like this. Not sure of the legality, but this is total BS.
Houston Office
So what’s so great about the Houston office? Is there a gym? A daycare? Free lunches every day? If they want to compare their benefits/perks to Apple and Google, shouldn’t our HQ be as bougie? I’ve been to a smaller company’s HQ where they had at... — read more

Brown Castle has failed - Will investors hold him accountable?
It's a good thing the B3s were abolished so that being accountable is no longer a burden to the business. Looks like Crown will not hit it's build numbers for 2023, not even close. At some point the customers will use contractual language to... — read more
Abusive CLOWN CASTLE relationship
