I think very few people would rather quit than get vaccinated. However, I do not believe that the leadership has plans for how to replace these people. By way of cause and effect more people will leave because they will not be able to endure... — read more
Anyone else stressing because you are already doing the work of 5 people and we are gonna lose more teammates due to the vax requirement?
What do y’all think of today’s an announcement?
What is the point of an energy efficient building when everyone burns fossil fuels to commute to the office?
It seems very two faced, insincere, and poorly thought out. If you really care about the environment then reduce traffic and don’t let your employees spend hours driving every day. Clogged roads make emergency services less efficient. Nobody wants to... — read more
Over the top workload
What does Crown actually expect from an employee? To work for several people and be grateful to have a job? This is awful. I love my job and have always been a hard worker, but the amount of work now done by a single employee is humiliating. People... — read more

Digital transformation
Why is the digital transformation taking so long? Why do we still use all these sluggish systems?
What Exceptions allow for Remote Work????
Since the recent EMT call, has anyone been informed what exceptions would allow people to work remotely? As many offices have closed or will not have leases renewed, would mileage be a consideration (>100 miles rt for example)? Not trying to... — read more
The Upcoming Remote Work Company Culture War
Those who manage but don’t do work love talking about how the office is this magical collaboration circus, where the brilliance of human minds connect like voltron to form Genius. What usually happens is that you can talk to people in person quicker... — read more
Not the Same!
Once upon a time, at an All Hands event(for those that remember), when speaking about a few bad apples in our B3 Culture, Ben M. said "If they do not fit with our culture, we want to help them find somewhere where they do fit with the culture!" It... — read more
A Better 30% Coalition Idea...
There are better ways for CC to expand our influence. The reorganization has already firmly divided the different groups inside CC, now we are intent on increasing that division to include merit by race, gender, etc. A better idea....A true 30%... — read more
The Vax Is Now A Condition of Employment
How many people do you think will be leaving CCI now? Lawsuits incoming?
Jay and the EMT panicked
Last fall hundreds of employees were let go because the company was called out by Elliot Management for not meeting expectations. Not only did they lose these employees but they also lost a good amount of employees who fled to other companies such... — read more
Why the Jay hate?
Why the Jay hate? Why blame all the problems on jay and the emt?
share holder vote
for anyone that still has stocks in CCI, remember to go vote Jay Brown out and vote no on the board compensation.
Union?
Do we have a union?
Do the Right Thing, EMT!
Here's a thought, since it wasnt the people who are out there everyday delivering for our Customers who decided to go all in on the fiber/small cell strategy, why are they taking the 70% payout hit on their bonuses. Do the right thing and even... — read more
Is it too late to move away from a bad investment?
I would be surprised if Crown Castle was not at least exploring their options as far as selling their fiber assets. It has been a disaster and nobody in the entire company knows how to manage it. Now it would be a good time to move on from their bad... — read more
Automate everything that can be automated?
Okay, now it seems to me that they want to automate everything that can be automated in this company. So they are willing to invest a lot, pay more to maintain machines / systems that generally have a lower degree of flexibility ... just to get rid... — read more

Anyone? What are your thoughts?
Management Q1- Reduction
I posted this and wanted to add the latest Latest: EMT found out there is a major leak of information. Now they are providing false information to individual people to find the leak. So at this time who knows what is real or not. BS opps I... — read more
Clown Castle
Crown used to be a great place to work. Before Jay Brown took over I could not imagine working for a better place. That being said, Jay Brown and the current executive management team completely ruined this company. Crown Castle was publically... — read more
Additional layoffs in the West
More operational Fiber layoffs in the West. They didn't trim the fat enough before Thanksgiving and wanted to trim 10-30% more staff from Fiber/Network before end of Q4. This news is breaking today.

VP of Digital Transformation fired today
Will be announced on all hands tomorrow. Sales VP of Analytics will be taken over. Hard to find someone who did a worse job then current VP. Destroyed culture, spent millions, utterly clueless.
OWBPA Requirements
Did anyone over 40 receive a list of impacted employees showing age and department as required by law?
BS is what I call Business Support
Why is Laura Nichols still employed by Crown Castle?! She is the main reason why the company is so terrible. She has no sense of leadership and serves no sympathy when it comes to employees. She thinks that everyone can just be replaced, her and her... — read more
I call BS

Expect another round
In any line of work, you’re never safe especially in these unfortunate times. While it’s not ideal, it’s nice that Crown has provided a severance package that at least gets you by for 2 months + depending on your tenure. It doesn’t hurt to have your... — read more
The trust is broken ...
Crown Castle isn’t typically known for layoffs. The last big one was back in 01 when the market crashed so this has come to be a big surprise for a lot of people, although, the writing has been in the wall for a little over a year now and from my... — read more
Too old to start over, too young to retire
I am going to make this quick. I’ve got roughly 35 years in the industry and was hoping I could remain with Crown (14 years) until I was able to retire. Well it doesn’t look that way. I don’t know if I am able to start over with another company... — read more
Can we trust them?
I know we were told layoffs are done but can we really trust them? They went back on their word once already, who's to say they won't do it again? I'd really like to be able to relax and enjoy the holidays with my family but I can't get rid of this... — read more
Fiber Sales also got hit
Several reps in Florida were shown the door, Texas Sales manager let go, Not sure about the East or west Coast. Eliot gutting the group and probably preparing to sell the group off next year for a nice profit on their investment.
A case study of how not to run a business

This company has a management problem
A lot of what's been happening would never have even been an issue with competent leadership, something that this place sorely lacks. That's dangerous enough in normal times, but in the middle of a pandemic when the entire economy is in ruin? It's a... — read more
