Unfortunately it's hard to feel relieved if you didn't get the axe since the folks who survived the cuts this week will end up doing all the work of the people who got laid off. For example, Crown PM's worked a typical 45-50 hour week forever; this... — read more 

Does anyone know how this works? Will we be paying the employee side or will CC pick it up?

Has anyone noticed a strange repetition on the Linked In posts from CCI staff laid off today? “After ## years, I am sad to say that the 15% RIF at Crown Castle has led to me become Opentowork. I am extremely grateful…” How does that happen?

Time to stick a fork in Crown Castle, it's done. Crown Castle was built by strong leadership who found good people and made great teams. The B3 culture and that mindset died when the CFO became CEO and catered to the Financial community instead of... — read more 

How difficult will it be to find a new opportunity for those who get laid off? I wouldn't want to discourage anyone, but I've been looking for a new job for much longer than I thought it would take.

Someone here made a good point: it is better to trust your instincts than to trust your boss's assurances that you are safe. It wouldn't be the first time that someone was laid off very quickly after the boss told them that there was no need to... — read more 

I wonder if they’ll run a follow up to the glowing JB profile they ran at the end of May about how amazing PURPLE values are. Going back and reading it is nauseating. Google “ This CEO Found An Ingenious Way To Weave Corporate Values Throughout The... — read more 

My understand is that we will be notified by email. Probably mass emails. Is that what everyone else is hearing?

The rest will have to stay and continue to deal with this bullsh-t. It's not the win many think it is.

As we head into the week of doom, good luck all. If the worst happens try to look on the bright side and embrace the opportunity of new found freedom. I know the EMT is about to ruin a lot of our lives with missed mortgage payments, food off the... — read more 

Writing was on the wall when they came out with the PURPLE BS. How much time and money was spent to come up with that lame sh-t. Is EMT and the board drinking too much of this garbage and asleep at the wheel? I got an idea let's buy more fiber cause... — read more 

Despite all of the negativity, Crown is still a great place to work. We have compassionate leaders who drive accountability in a nurturing way. We have brand new offices that make people want to come to work. The compensation is higher and more... — read more 

It’s so unfortunate that this rif has caused both sides to rip each other apart because everyone feels their side is better than the other. I am embarrassed and ashamed to be part of the company right now. We are so much better than this

It’s terrible to witness a once great organization being torn apart with dishonesty and a lack of integrity. I can speak about talent leadership as the leader Coach department is not confidential. In fact, people leaders conversations are captured... — read more 

The three amigos! The boiler plate on how to sc--w up a once great company. How much longer can they cling to their roles before the board wakes up?

Did the CEO really just do that call without a single mention of layoffs and the current situation in his speech? What a joke. Pathetic. At least the new COO referenced things going on “next week” one single time…

Did the layoffs start today?

Cathy Piche leaving CCI as COO-Towers.

Little anxious with what is on horizon but however it works out, Crown was the best place I've ever worked and my co workers are like family. Remember God is in control, He is good and He will make away. There is always hope with Him, nothing is... — read more 

Of course, being laid off is usually a very stressful experience and I feel sorry for anyone affected, but I still think that it is certainly not the worst thing that can happen to someone here. Those who are laid off get motivation, time and... — read more 

A posts are getting deleted from here. Does Crown own this site?

Stock is

I am still safe, but I wonder if after everything I will even want to work in a company where I no longer have any faith in the leadership... I know I am not the only one with such thinking... The atmosphere is getting worse every day.

"Roles that do not directly impact or support regional operations will be moved to Houston" I read this as all of Finance being offered relo packages. But, it is a bit vague. I just hate being in limbo.

What a coincidence they Jay and the EMT announced at the end of 2022 that PTO wouldn't be payed out for separation of employment for what ever reason. They tried to convince us that PTO is an expensive perk and that we shouldn't be payed for this... — read more 

Who do you think or maybe know...is getting laid off on the Network side. It hasn't been announced officially yet since the VP is on pto.

I'm worried about seeing more layoffs next week.

If you are offered a relo to the Purple Palace in Houston as part of a severance, would you take it?

We were told a month ago by the CFO that we were in good shape and nothing to worry about. That the company wouldn’t be letting go of people since it cost more money to retrain and rehire. This layoff has been in the works for months. Executives and... — read more

Attorneys out there: how does the federal WARN Act apply in a situation like the impending layoff? Why didn't CCI give 60-days' warning... or is there some kind of legal loophole they can wiggle out of it with?

Just curious which companies people are looking at for their next position.

It's sad that some people here still can't accept that those at the top simply don't care about the employees. Why is it so hard to accept that? This is simply not the same place it used to be. It's time to realize that and move on.

The upper management was told for the last several years that unless they made changes to the constructions services division they would not be successful. There was a meeting with a large portion on the management and the changes that needed to... — read more 

Where was all of this outrage in 2020 when a couple hundred employees were cut? It was the same poor management and the same poor decision making. When people got let go in 2020 it was “well, that’s just part of the business” or “that’s what... — read more
