FFS do something! We’re all shareholders, right?
CCI's Value is Tanking...
And it's expected to still tank. Per this article and public infothe company went from a 110 billion worth in 2022 to 70 billion in 2023 and now it's 43 billion at the end of Q2. The company lost near 50% in just 52 weeks! Plus now the hedge funds... — read more
Ethics...Not at Crown
Somebody has some explaining to do. https://wirelessestimator.com/articles/2023/crown-castles-federal-sales-director-says-he-was-fired-in-retaliation-for-whistleblowing/
Goodwill Toue
The goodwill tour is headed to Southpointe today and tomorrow. The EMT and their entourage are going to try to make y’all feel better about being left behind. “Aren't you grateful we spared you?” What would be fun would be of you were to boycott... — read more
Over 40? You Got Screwed!
Those over 40 just got rolled over the coals. You don't get your severance for another 2 weeks due to when they sent out the paperwork and the 7 day waiting period. They knew EXACTLY what they were doing.
“Big brother” surveillance?
Just curious if there is a “big brother” type of monitoring/surveillance that they have to monitor employee? Ensure that they are in the office and actually doing work? Don’t trust this company anymore!
Severance Insurance
Is anyone paying anything even close to what you would pay as a full time employee, like they promised? More lies!
I'm tired of this
I'm tempted to quit Crown and become happily unemployed rather than being miserable all the time. I'm still too scared to do it, but at some point, I feel like it will become too much and I'll just walk out. And yes, I've been trying to find... — read more
Boxes for their cr-p
Has anyone received the boxes to send back their cr-p? I'm still waiting for them to arrive when they were "sent through FedEx the 2nd week of August." I ask for tracking and they claim they didn't record it due to sending the materials in bulk... — read more
Motivated without opportunity?
For those of us left, and not in Houston, are you feeling motivated to go above and beyond if our growth is going to stop short now based on our location?
Data & Digital Townhall
Four time slots are available for this Wednesday. Will Dan be repeating the same old bulletpoints about the layoffs? Will it be a morale boost session about said layoffs?
WARN in which states
Can someone explain where and how people fall into the WARN category? Do we need to do anything to be included?
Essential
Remember when folks were needed for everyday tasks? Most were quick to take a remote position then. How's that working out for you now?
We need to unionize
For all of us left, we need everyone to unionize so they can no longer use and abuse us.
Why do we have to wait
Until the next pay period to get the severance? They can just as easily send it on the following Friday like they pay expense reimbursements. They really want to make our credit suffer and miss bill payments.
“And so castles made of sand melt into the sea, eventually”
Never more true words Jimi
Severance AI calculation
Today we’ll get the paperwork, finally. The AI calculation doesn’t sit well with me. If the company is 25%, how are they calculating our personal portion? It seems they aren’t including personal contributions in it at all.
What if we just don’t come into the office?
Curious about the number of people interested in refusing to comply with the loss of the hybrid schedule. The company lied. It is not okay. If we can get a good amount of the workforce onboard, we can demand change.
Hybrid Schedule
Anyone know the reasoning behind the EMT going back on their word regarding the hybrid schedule? Such a trustworthy, purplish bunch.
Severance Package
Does anyone know when the severance package is supposed to be paid out ????
Anyone else feel like PC positions will be eliminated next year?
I didn’t feel confident in the response that “A PC today might be a finance person tomorrow.” I don’t have faith that we will just get plugged into other departments.
How can I quit?
It’s been the most stressful, exhausting and depressing time being one of the survivors here at crown. I can’t handle the stress and emotions anymore. I need to quit but financially it’s hurting me so bad. I have never been so unhappy with a career... — read more
Funny how posts disappear
When there’s no mention on names or violation of posting guidelines. Reminds me of Crown removing Glassdoor reviews.
Wow!!
Over the past year the S&P 500 has risen 6.31% while CCI is down -43.92%.
Normal or sadist?
I left Crown 10 months ago. I have to admit that while I feel sorry for those affected by the RIF, I’m also taking extreme pleasure in watching Crown fail. Is it normal to want to see a camp any fail after you’re gone or am I some kind of sadist? — read more
Another round?
I am seeing a lot of comments stating that people expect there will be another round of layoffs. Has anyone heard any thing solid about this?
Is it too late?
Is it too late to volunteer to leave? I survived but the last week has been he-l. Overworked because they pilled everything on you, no respect, lack of care, just overall toxic environment. They want you to do everything immediately and they don’t... — read more
Sad times at Crown now
When I first stated at Crown, I thought, wow, what a great company. I had never worked anyplace like this before. People were so welcoming and seemed to truly enjoy their jobs. I never heard one complaint. Now, after these past few weeks, most of the... — read more
Roles Reposted with Less Pay
Had anyone else had their role reposted, but at lower pay? We had 3 people in our department. 1 manager and 2 subordinates. I was told only the manager role was kept for the others are eliminated. Today I saw my role posted in a different department... — read more
Severance package when?
Did anyone get the paperwork yet?
Crown does not care
This is the first layoff that didn't pay the employee side of the Healthcare. All others in the past paid both sides for a set time. Those others also didn't pull 22% taxes on the severance. Stocks were vested immediately and not over various years... — read more
From the Department of Labor
What if my employer pays me for the 60 days instead of sending me a WARN notice? WARN requires 60 calendar days' written notice. The law makes no provision for any alternative such as pay in place of a notice. While an employer who pays workers for... — read more
Thanks Crown
Can you collect unemployment if you get severance in your state? ** Severance pay allocated by the employer to a week(s) following the date of separation is deductible from unemployment benefits. NOTE: If the income is to be deducted, but less than... — read more
Info as to why?
Anyone able to claw out information as to why they were sacrificed? I tried multiple times and got the same "hard business decisions" canned nonsense. If you're going to let me go, at least let me know why, especially when I'm in the only one on my... — read more
Swag
I propose a ceremonial bonfire where we can all rid ourselves of purple swag and Connected By Good t-shirts. We can build a fire ring out of the ridiculous tenure tombstones. I bet the number of those that were packed up and moved this week is... — read more
Fired today…..hired today?
Anyone who got canned looking for a job? There is a good chance you can find the same one right back at Crown Castle…..openings posted today! Its almost comical, but more feels like getting ran over by a bus, when on the very same day I was let go... — read more
The writing is on the Purple wall.
It’s a frightening time for those of us left behind and the writing is on that Purple wall. Time to pull up my big boy pants and brush off that resume. People matter…in Houston Us together is better…in Houston Right thing, always…in Houston Pursue... — read more
Dear EMT
Nobody loves you!
Questions
I got the axe on Monday and still haven't received any severance information. I was also immediately locked out of everything. Has anyone had this experience also? It is also sad that we must seek help from resources like this website... — read more
PTO payout
Does anyone know as far as the severance package will the PTO payout include regular PTO and the rollover PTO from 2022? They both show as accrued… Just wondering
