Will we finally get pet insurance, please?!
SEC Filing
Some relevant quotes from the 8-K filed the evening of the 18th: "MANAGEMENT CHANGES Additionally, Crown Castle announced today that Mr. Schlanger, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will depart the company effective March 31... — read more
But do we still keep the guys?
Just wondering if after all of this BS we get to keep the gym so we can stay fit during this useless 10 months or however long they’ll drag out this mess…
Lessons learned from prior layoff
Hey everyone, I was laid off in the last round and finally landed a job. I had a handful of offers after maybe 150 applications. Some notes: ignore the placement service regarding resume advice leverage linkedin for your network. Find... — read more
Jay Brown...BYE!
Ran Crown into the gound
I think we can all agree...
Management has demonstrated over the years that they do not know how to run this company. Poor, short-sighted acquisitions that they had no business buying, because they do not know how to run and scale the tower business, much less sc or fiber... — read more
Will VergeX or Versa or... be sold?
Crown just obtained Versa last year, but it is a disaster. Calls every day from customers that use it complaining they have no idea what it does and are given no documentation when asked on the capabilities. They comment they connect and are fast... — read more
A note for anyone affected this time:
As soon as you are told or you pass on relocating, you’ll be locked out of your computers and treated like a criminal by the company. No one will respond to your questions and you’ll be put in the cold.
How many people are in Southpointe?
1000? 1500?
So long, Crown
Leaving this post for ideas on how to move forward in cities where Crown is eliminating jobs. Reach out to your jurisdiction leaders and let them know that Crown is limiting jobs in our area where they are hoping to get work. Pay attention... — read more
Confirmed Layoffs are coming!
The company is trying to make it appear like it is not layoffs, but rather a wash. It was just reported to the investors that 1,000 people will be moved to Houston. I was just asked if I would move to Houston. I said no and was told I would be laid... — read more
Buh bye DS
And JB remains unscathed, again
Disappearing threads
Looks like the post about Crown being sold disappeared. The EMT get sensitive about somebody dropping the dime in their scheme?
3 more days till D-day!
3 more days till all he-l breaks loose. Earnings in the morning followed by bad news in the afternoon by the EMT. Brace yourself for these lying MFs
10k SC goal for 2023?
How is it going? Where is the number at? Typically its always a hockey stick graph, with all the nodes added at the end of the year. Last year CC was bailed out by Verizon allowing DP in the west to put all the Suber Bowl nodes on air early. How... — read more
State Policy Manager, Director of Strategic Initiatives and Policy, External Affairs Manager
Why is Crown hiring for these positions nationwide?
5 days in office
Is on the horizon for those who survive the next round. 2024, here we come.
Quarterly Earning and Company Conversation
I noticed the Q3 earning call and the company convo are on the same day. More bad news coming?
IT Acceptable Use Policy
Regarding the IT acceptable use policy sent out this morning. Anyone else notice this has gotten more thorough with additional monitoring? This is making me want to delete everything off my phone.
November Layoffs
Any information on this yet? Will it be similar to the last layoff as far as compensation goes? Are they taking volunteers again?
It seems like everyone is applying elsewhere
It seems many teammates are actively applying for roles outside of CCI, even if they think their roles would be safe through another wave of layoffs. My guess is that individual contributors without lots of RSUs at stake will jump at opportunities... — read more
Where's Jay Brown?
The sign of a weak, cowardly, ineffective leader is one who hides from his underlings in the face of bad news. This is exactly what Jay Brown has been doing since the first round of layoffs in August. Say what you want about the rest of the EMT... — read more
Stock at ~$89
Well it seems 2-3 days a week we set a record for another 52 week low. Seems that November layoff is not only certain, but I'm sure there is an inverse correlation with stock price and number of us let go. Unless something changes it's probably... — read more
Network Directors meeting this Wednesday-Thursday
Anyone knows what’s up? My director tells us they are discussing budget etc but you know that’s all BS! Clearly how d-mb do they think we are?!?
Quit or wait for lay off
Should I quit now or wait for a potential Q4 layoff. Everyday is a struggle to work, my management is very toxic and hostile and from a political sense, nothing happens to them even when there is so much turnover within the group. Thoughts?
Strife in the EMT
Hear there is some strife a brewing amongst our beloved EMT! Think CP leaving is the tip of it. I hear LN asked PK, DS, and JB to find a new church. I think they all need Jesus!
Idk about you guys but…
It’s getting harder and harder to get up and go be lied to/ignore the obvious impending doom four days a week. How about not even letting us WFH around Thanksgiving and Christmas? They stripped us of any sort of nice little perks we had and expect us... — read more
Why can’t we meet the small cell goal for 2023?
Honest answers only!!
Network Finance getting cut?
Curious to see if the network finance team will be seeing any cuts this time around? There’s a bunch of analyst doing nothing but “busy work”.
Enough is Enough
We need to bring the CWA in … that’s the only way to stop the bleeding of jobs: https://cwa-union.org/organize-union-your-workplace
There you have it… The EMT has spoken.
Jobs will be lost throughout the country to Houston, whether it’s through forced moves, terminations, or attrition, all signs point to Texas. Q: “Personal Growth/Development is something I am very interested in, but with the recent layoffs it seems... — read more
Stick down to 2016 levels
STILL GOING STRONG!!!
“Leadership” is meeting in Houston this week
I wonder why?!? All VPs are in discussions in Houston and the directors are planning on going to Houston next for these “discussions”. So stupid! Planning on how to f* over us employees in Q4
Transparency Goes A Long Way
It would be nice if the EMT addressed all of the rumors swirling about another round of layoffs, the upcoming compensation cycle, returning to the office five days a week, and all the rest of it. Bad news is never easy to swallow - but transparency... — read more
The reason for all of this. . .
has nothing to do with tower/network performance. The reason is the $55 million building in Houston. The EMT has to justify to the shareholders the reason for this building. There are millions of feet of empty office space across the U.S. But, the... — read more
Comp Cycle Cancelled
What impacts do you think the current events of this past year will have on the comp cycle in March?
Company conversion postponed
Let me guess why? So that they can do more dirty work behind the scenes and start another round of layoffs? Shame on you Jay
Dumpster Fire
Meanwhile on the outside of these purple walls the industry is thriving and we are stuck watching this dumpster fire. Time to boot the "financial" guys, ditch fiber and bring in some real tower people if we want to save this company. Crown is losing... — read more
Next round
For those in the upcoming round of layoffs, expect to be treated like dirt on the bottom of JB’s purple shoes within an hour of getting told you’re on the list or your request to volunteer approved. Then, you’ll be completely ignored by the company... — read more
