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

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.

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.

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

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
