Topics regarding layoffs at Crown Castle International Corp.

Crown Lost its Identity

Once again we see the lack of leadership or accountability with EMT and Directors. Why should anyone expect other at this house of cards? Construction services are targeted to be gutted, while the leadership makes changes for stockholders. The... — read more 

Jay, Levendos, Karen and Cohorts

The title says it all. Never have I seen a more clueless leadership crew. Can anyone honestly and impartially point to one single material improvement Levendos, “Karen”!, Brewer, Perez etc have done to move us forward? They are hated by our entire... — read more 

Severance

Has anyone been able to confirm the severance package?

They'll ruin the company

Maybe that's a bit harsh to say, but my opinion is that the leadership is actually ruining this company really fast. The only question is how much longer all this will last, that is, how long before it hits the rock bottom. I hope it won't come to... — read more 

Are cuts still happening?

Can somebody provide more info on what's going on for those of us who are currently on vacation, please?

Still here?

Where’s that “still here and going strong” toolbox? Stock=not strong, company=not strong with a severe public 15% layoff. Enjoy retirement, hope you feel good about mis-leading all the folks on here as well as all of those you pretend to lead. — read more 

Layoffs incoming?

Someone just told me that they heard from someone that layoffs were imminent, they even mentioned a number of 700 employees. Hard to differentiate the rumor mill from reality though of course…. Anyone heard anything?

Uh oh!!!

BMO gives Crown a bear rating. Is this a first? https://seekingalpha.com/news/3987396-american-tower-rated-new-outperform-at-bmo-crown-castle-gets-bear-rating

Crown Castle External Affairs

CCI has cleaned house on the entire comms and government team - leadership has either been fired, quit or about to be fired. What say you? Good or bad for the company?

Stock now at 109!!!

EMT must be freaking out. They should stop monitoring our posts and get to work.

EMT is watching

DM called an all hands teams meeting today to discuss “social media conduct”. Meeting was led by DM and somebody from BS was listening in as well. DM started by saying that she would not be taking questions and that the call was solely to set... — read more 

Forbes Article

Did anyone see the comedic piece written in Forbes? How far off the mark could an article be? Employees are miserable, the culture sucks, leadership is a joke. Utterly amazing how little journalist digs. Do you think we paid for the article?

Microtrenching

How’s the microtrenching going? Have we gotten our moneys worth out of those machines or what?

Unrealistic expectations

I'm starting to get frustrated by the unrealistic expectations they have of employees. I just can't believe they don't realize how underpaid we are here, most of us anyway. Perhaps for a change they should be satisfied with the fact that there are... — read more 

Serious question

Been mentioned in numerous threads but thought we could have a real conversation in a central location. Under CL leadership we have gone backwards on all levels fiber and small cell. Add to that KR, KB and purple park, and the RVPs, is there any hope... — read more 

Vaccine Mandate?

Interesting, last month Crown ended the vaccine mandate but the federal executive order that was the supposed catalyst for Crown’s mandate is still in place. Wondering what the logic is for ending vs the logic for starting? Still remember Chris L... — read more

Stock chart- strong company?

Where is the guy who said this is a well-run company and the stock is a performer? Must be at the eye doctors or in the Social Security line because he is not looking at the same performance over the last year that people in reality are. Debt load... — read more

Deploy Parachute?

As the deadline to exit CCI with a PTO cashout looms, do you know anyone taking advantage of it to leave Crown with money in hand? What have you heard in your neck of Crown? Are you satisfied with the life you're living?

Whats going on with NJ/PA/DE district?

Whats going on with the NJ/PA/DE district? We have lost all leadership over last few month and now the DM has moved on? anyone herd something? we our now left with zero fiber leadership. is it time to leave?

Layoffs in Network Construction

Ran into our district director today. He mentioned that TMO is expected to notify Crown that they're reducing the forecast for small cells going on air in 23 because of supply chain issues by as much as 40%. Separately, since Dish prefers using ILECs... — read more 

Talking Until We’re Purple in the Face

How was that for a tone-deaf company conversation? Didn’t address any submitted questions, esp. the talent drain en masse. Instead, we were treated to the latest in sloganeering and focus group slop. But forget all that. Let’s go color in our... — read more

I don't want to do all that work anymore

As long as the majority of remaining employees continue to put their heads in the sand and keep on doing work for two or more people, nothing will change for the better here. Just my 2 cents.

There are ways to save money other than layoffs

Crown is going to save a ton of money by reducing raises and short term incentives and replacing it with long term incentives that don’t fully vest for 3 years. We had a team call today and our VP showed up out of nowhere. We talked about this... — read more

I don't believe there'll be no layoffs

I think they're just trying to placate us and make sure we're not asking too many questions. Think about it. The economy is in the crappers and a recession is near guaranteed, everybody and their grandma are laying people off and in all of that... — read more

New Comp and Benefit plan

Well, they have done it. Let’s see how Laura Nichol is going to put lipstick on this pig. Let’s watch as she smiles that Botox face and says “instead of pay increases, you’re going to get more RSUs. Yey!” What this really means is they are pushing... — read more 

Turnover has never been higher

This looks almost like a mass exodus to me. Attrition doesn't seem to be slowing down at all. Is Crown finally going to do something about this exodus of most talented people, stop it or try to slow it down at least?

Can we please self-correct?

Most of what I see on this site are valid concerns with the direction we have been heading towards as a company and the unfortunate change in our culture. However, having the hybrid schedule in jeopardy because people aren’t willing to come in three... — read more

Where's that guy who used to say we're doing great?

Who said our stock was doing amazing and beating the Dow average? I wonder if he still thinks so, now that our stock continues to drop with no indication of slowing down any time soon? Now that is at its lowest in three years? I wonder if he can... — read more 

Rumored October layoffs

Do we know what's going on with the rumored October layoffs? I haven't heard anything yet and I'm not sure if I should take it as a good thing or if I should be worried that it's just the calm before the storm. Is there any chance somebody knows... — read more 

Question

A couple of my teammates were moved from their position on the tower side of the business to a position in small cell. They did not have a say in the matter, they were reassigned by management. From what I understand, this has happened to several... — read more

Are they clueless or what?

I am totally disappointed with what CCI has become. Upper management - do they even know what they are doing? I am reluctant to say that someone is incompetent, but it really seems to me that they have lost control and that they do not care at all... — read more
