That is all
Multiple roles
Anyone else feel like your playing for the "team" with your position, doing 7 different peoples jobs because loss of workforce Just feeling overwhelmed recently with how much is expected i'm just one person
Sale Timelines
Does anyone who has gone through one of these fiber acquisitions have any insight as to the timing of the closing of the sale? IF a buyer is found and announced before the end of the year, does the closing take months longer to actually happen? ... — read more
Insider Trading
If any big wigs come on here and have any insight on the sale and if it’s going to affect employees, please share. People’s families are at sake.
Town Hall
During the town hall meeting yesterday, it was announced no more cutbacks. We’re all in the clear.
The elephant in the room
Why hasn't CL gotten the boot over rapid yet?
Former colleague here
I was laid off last round. I found a new job quite fast after I was booted, and I like it much better. It pays better, but more importantly, is more enjoyable and I actually get to have a life. And no, I’m nothing special, my resume is not... — read more
Will closed offices open again?
Will the closed offices open again in a smaller location? For example in CA, they closed down a bunch of offices but they are apparently opening an office out in Rancho Cucamonga? Which is literally in the middle of nowhere. Are people in the West... — read more
The obvious truth
If the fiber side of Crown was a good and profitable business they would have been able to sell it by now.
Rank the Regions
Title What's the worst region
The industry and company is crumbling, and we’re shoveling dirt on its grave.
Instead of fortifying our foundations with innovation and process refinement, we're opting for a short-term, destructive approach: dismantling our workforce. It's a myopic strategy, treating human capital as an expendable commodity rather than the... — read more
Leave Crown if you can
I don't see a future here for anybody who wants to advance his or her career through hard work. Those who like to kiss the right behinds will continue to thrive here and those who are hard workers will be doing all the work for no reward. The only... — read more
What's going to happen?
I've overheard that the company will sell the fiber division soon. What will happen, and when? Will we lose our jobs? I'm tired of waiting for the hammer to drop.
Let’s talk
How’s everyone holding up in the West? Heard there’s been a lot of change to the teams.
What now
Now that the sale is off the table, what happens to the fiber business? We know small cell is wrapping up but something has to happen with the fiber customers.
Is anyone actually happy working?
Does anyone still have any motivation to get anything done?
What does everything think the future of Crown and it’s employees will be?
Since the first rif I’ve felt lost and uneasy. What does everything think the future will look like for the company at the end of this year? As of today, I was one of the “lucky” one’s kept on and as a reference, I work the small cells side in the... — read more
Crown Castle will be an MBA Study Case
On how to f-up a great Business Model and destroy a great employee focused culture.
Enough with the victim blaming
Ok folks, behave. I’m sick of the victim blaming. Of those that are stuck here, most have a good reason: family situation, hard time finding a job because they are in a niche role, in a common job but the market has been repeatedly flooded due to the... — read more
What was your deciding factor for leaving?
This is a question for those who quit but still occasionally check on things on this forum. What was the final straw that made you decide to leave Crown? Was there a specific incident or reason that pushed you from just thinking about it to making... — read more
This is just June layoff continued
Apparently FirstLight is acquiring Crown Castle Fiber, and they will not be taking existing CC staff only assets. If CC just laid off Network CMs today that means they are about to do the same to Permitting, Engineering and Design, and more CM groups... — read more
Today layoffs
Only CM? Or are there others affected?
Laid Off today 7-29-24
Me and most of my CM team just got a call today. Most of us are gone Dec 13th some at the end of august.
Any recently laid off peeps lurking?
I’m wondering about your experience with looking for a new job. I decided to take a small break before I plunge into the nightmare of job search. It unnerves me a bit that all I hear is that people have trouble with landing a new job. Anybody had a... — read more
Lumen
If Lumen, a fiber company with far worse financials than Crown Fiber, can get a bail out from Microsoft while we get sold, then boy does that show how terrible the EMT and CL are
Who’s getting rich at your expense?
The EMT get richer at the expense of all the workers in the trenches and those who have or will get laid off. https://www.investing.com/news/company-news/crown-castle-evp--coo-sells-over-11m-in-company-stock-93CH-3535099
Laid off people are the lucky ones
I know it’s hard and scary to lose a job. I’m not trying to be an a--hole. I wish them all the luck, and I hope they already found something better. But dear god help us all who are still here. I hope my hard search for another job pays off. — read more
Settling into business as usual will not happen after the last LR
Too many competent people are gone. Morale is down the drain. Not many people are invested in the future of the company. Mgmt can not cope with managing decimated teams. Maybe I’m wrong, but at least where I am, layoffs scope and selection broke the... — read more
Disfunctional Rant
anyone else feel like every single department is lost due to losing people jumping ship / RIFs How is this sustainable if we have a hiring freeze, or non functional upper management making decisions behind teams backs that DONT work
Stop the Drama- Focus and Move Forward, it’s not summer camp!
Can we please stop the whining and just get to work? This is a publicly traded company with a duty to reorganize and optimize efficiency, not a summer camp. Complaining about "lost culture" or "used to care" isn't helping. If you don't care anymore... — read more
Layoffs are just one of our many issues
I could deal with layoffs. All companies have them, some more often than others, but still. But it's the other things that make this a horrible place to work. The blatant cronyism, bullying as a management technique, and a brutally competitive... — read more
KKR to buy Crown?
I heard a rumor that KKR investment firm is interesting in purchasing Crown. Has anyone else heard that too? I am told that they are a global presence, but do not have a North American fiber company and Crown is an opportunity for them. I also heard... — read more
Interns
So Crown, you can layoff THOUSANDS of SEASONED and GREAT employees, but then hire and PAY good money to interns? You should be ashamed!!
