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

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.

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

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

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 

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

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”.

There you have it… The EMT has spoken.

“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

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
