Real work is back, and the leadership that matters gets it and are taking care of it! In one swift move, some infamous figures are exiting stage left: The Arrogant Impostor leader #1 – Talked big, did nothing, A few more remain so far who... — read more
So, are layoffs happening this month or not?
If so, I surely hope that most managers will be gone. One can dream.
Another one bites the dust
Ed Chan gone. Thoughts?
Employee Survey
Is it pointless to be honest?
BS network call today 4/1
Nothing but BS coming out of everyone on the call today. You really think we believe all of your lies lol
Purple People
Stay Positive, good times are just around the corner. Once the board figures out who needs to be at helm of this ship we will get back on course. We need to part ways first with all remote employees, they are like Federal Employees doing very little... — read more
April layoffs
Just caught wind of more layoffs hitting Crown next month – not sure how solid the source is though. Anyone else hearing these rumors or able to shut them down? Wouldn’t be shocked either way at this point.
Just a thought on Leadership
It’s impossible to overstate the sheer dysfunction of the leadership at Crown Castle. The directors, VPs, and senior managers operate in a constant state of chaos, unable to keep a single concept straight without overcomplicating everything to the... — read more
T3 call hillarity
The sheer disappointment is overwhelming. The apathy on those so-called "leaders’" faces was almost comical—if it weren’t so tragic. If credibility was ever in short supply, it has officially hit rock bottom. The idea that this is something to build... — read more
I still can't believe they let LN ruin this company
Years later and it's still crazy to see where we are since when she came around
CCI Stock is Down $10 from Yesterday
CCI stock dropped $10 from two days ago. CC needs a complete cleaning house of management from EMT through local area managers. This company and its fiber and small cell records are horrible over the past ten years to date. I wouldn’t be surprised if... — read more
Zayo and EQT better have some smart people
I don’t see how the current leadership will be able to transition our assets to the buyers. They could barely run network, and keep track of what small cells we have. D&C doesn’t even know where the nodes are and what is even in them. Now they are... — read more
Who cares about what comes next?
I’ll just be here until I’m laid off. In the meantime, I’ve been making sure to stay up to date on my skills, constantly checking for other opportunities, and not really caring about what happens with CC. It’s not like any of us can influence the... — read more
Finally a SMART CEO
YES! A CEO who actually knows the business, understands finance, and can talk to both a crowd and a single human—what a concept! Please, make him permanent and show the consultant impostors the door. We swear, not a single soul will ask for pet... — read more
So Long, SM???
Does anybody have any information about the news of the CEO layoff?
Something feels off
Two managers just up and left in the past couple weeks. One took a job at a different team - laterally. The other just walked away. it makes me nervous. What if they saw somthing coming. What if we are the only ones in the dark... Maybe I am... — read more
Time to take your talents somewhere else
Especially if you're young. Crown will do nothing for your career except hold you back. If I weren’t close to retirement, I’d be long gone.
Do we know if layoffs are coming for sure or not?
Looks like most people are speculating but nobody knows for sure.
What would investing in Towers mean once fiber /small cell distraction is gone
Where will we be investing once we just can focus on competing with American Tower etc and not incinerating cash on fiber and small cells? Hurdle rate for a tower co is higher? So what makes the cut?
How will the sale of fiber affect the rest of us?
I imagine there will be some restructuring.
After every layoff round, my productivity drops
Each time I see a bit clearer how disposable they consider us and it affects my work ethic. Why should I give it my all for a place that will cut without a second thought no matter how good I am at what I do? I'm getting to a point where my bare... — read more

Massive Job Losses
With the sale of Fiber and Small Cells, this means a massive amount of personnel will lose their jobs. This will include Fiber and Small cell area directors, market managers, project managers, construction personnel, outage and issue personnel, local... — read more
Fiber vs small cell valuation
Interesting that fiber, with massive amounts of physical assets is valued at the same amount as small cells. https://www.jwttc.com/post/crown-castle-announces-agreement-to-sell-fiber-segment-to-eqt-and-zayo-for-8-5-billion
Anyone know how the last round went?
If you're willing to share, that'd be amazing. Did they give a reason? How much time did you have to pack up? Is severance set in stone? Did anyone manage to get a recommendation letter? Just trying to get a sense of what to expect. Not looking... — read more
I’ve been lucky so far
Too lucky, perhaps. My guess is that my luck will run out this time, especially with almost all of us at fiber now at high risk of being laid off. Oh well... I can’t say it would be the worst thing that ever happened to me, but the state of the job... — read more
Predictions
For those of us who haven’t been in this situation before, what groups do you feel like have a chance of keeping a job? Just general thoughts I guess on what the next year and a half looks like for various groups.
The nightmare is nearly over
Hopefully once the dust settles we can go back to being a great place to work where people rarely quit.
Zayo to Acquire Crown Castle’s Fiber Business, 3/13/2025
Told you something big was happening this week. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250313671755/en/Zayo-to-Acquire-Crown-Castle%E2%80%99s-Fiber-Solutions-Business
Light at the end finally
Crown always had the wrong people in charge. Maybe now someone will see the value in fiber.
PIP
Was anyone else offered a PIP or take a severance today? Asking for a friend…of course..
Zayo?
Now what?
Last Minute
No last minute predictions from the know-it-alls? Crown should sell Towers and keep Fiber .
Tomorrow!
Long road is coming to an end, I hope it ends well. Good luck all
Would things be better if Ted Miller had gotten back on the board?
Not that it changes anything now, but would anything be different?
Imma miss y'all motherpha cars
It's been a long timing coming. This has got to be the strangest 2 years for any company. An investor turning a company upside down. A 'review' that should have been kept quiet from the start instead of torturing employees for months. A review... — read more
