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.

Thread

How’s everyone holding up in the West? Heard there’s been a lot of change to the teams.

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.

Does anyone still have any motivation to get anything done?

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 

On how to f-up a great Business Model and destroy a great employee focused culture.

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 

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 

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 

Only CM? Or are there others affected?

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.

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 

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

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

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 

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 

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

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 

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 

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 

So Crown, you can layoff THOUSANDS of SEASONED and GREAT employees, but then hire and PAY good money to interns? You should be ashamed!!

Stupid question. Wondering how severance is taxed when I receive it after my final day in August. Is it the same as our biweekly pay? Does anyone know? I hope it's not like our bonus which taxes so much TIA

Absolutely. This has been part of the strategic plan from the beginning. The cancellation of the Houston, TX move doesn’t mean everything is smooth sailing. The leadership anticipated that not everyone would relocate, making it easier to downsize... — read more 

I acknowledge people grow and learn from their mistakes. That said, the deep and impactful RIF strategy of Steven Moskowitz is nothing new to his leadership style. As the leader of ATC, he enacted the same strategy and cut office after office... — read more 

Just wondering about the overall moral and experience and the fancy new office in conshohocken, pa.

If you review our operating models and positions post-RIF, you'll see a lot of redundancy and panic, especially among those who are ineffective but since no one had goals or measurements life was great. Now same people trying to prove their value... — read more 

How does Crown expect us to give 100% and continue to work through all these changes going on. My boss loves to micromanage and he su-ks. Crown should look into letting go of all higher ups and save some money there. Furthermore, How ironic they flew... — read more 

We lost a lot of high performers in this LR who were, frankly, a backbone of our group. Mgmt is useless, they can’t adjust to a new situation if their life depended upon it. Half the time we are organizing work by ourselves. And we really, really... — read more

Has anyone that was able to keep any future RSUs after the first round notice their future balance now shows $0?

I’ll take the yearly snowfalls of Southpoint over what is happening in Houston right now…somebody is looking over us for sure.

Can’t wait to deal with the fallout from gutting my team. I mean, the more time passes, it’s getting worse. Good job, mgmt!

I really don’t know how to do this? I am one of the “lucky” still here and report to someone in a higher role, but I have zero drive to do anything to assist. I have lost my dedication to the company , unfortunately the RIF is showing my teams true... — read more
