I just want to say (from Houston) a lot of us are extremely happy for everyone right now even if y’all doubt it. I personally want to say I’m so excited so many talented people will remain here if they choose to stay. I’m very happy my teammates that... — read more
NO MORE HUSTON…WHATS NEXT
As we all read through the email, many of let out a loud WOOHOO, but what’s next for Crown.
Work From Home
We are not google. We are not SpaceX. We do not build products. Why do we have to pay exorbitant rent for any office spaces at all? The company functioned fine during lockdowns. What is the point of wasting money on offices? They could save many... — read more
Who can fix Crown?
Who do you think would be a good replacement for Jay? Is there anybody who could get us out of the mess we're in right now thanks to him?
Sell the purple palace
With Jay’s long overdue departure, sell that monstrosity of a building and move the office to cheaper real estate. No longer do we need to be located in his backyard.
Town halls and EMT and holidays oh my!
It’s going to be a strange week, that’s for sure! How does all this news keep topping itself?
Field visits to Houston canceled this week
Any scoop on the reason field trips to visit Houston were canceled with 1 day notice? They were meant to help decide if relocation was a good fit for you.
Ode On A Texan Urn - Part Two (and Persisting)

Houston Move - Not only PA "Folks"
As JB likes to use, not all "Folks" affected by the relo mandate are in SP. Some of us are in various other locations. Put a kibosh on all this move business! Bleeding out money to relocate "folks" to Houston is just foolish and a monetary loss... — read more
With Jay gone, what changes would you like to see?
I am not talking about towers vs fiber here. If you were being honest with yourself there is a lot of room for improvement from both sides. I am talking about the company as a whole and what can be done to better the company moving forward once the... — read more
Are they canceling the relocation to TX or are there going to be more RIFs?
Are they canceling all plans to relocate and canceling all severance packages? Or is this the start of more RIFs and more ugly things. I’ve read articles on immediate layoffs after Elliot has taken over companies (Salesforce, B&N etc). They first... — read more
Sign our letters?
Now with everything going on. Should we sign our letters if we’re going go TX or not? I heard that management was requested to sign their letters last week. Something fishy is going on. We have till Jan 16th but is it best to sign now?
SP closure cancelled!
More to come next week
who is looking the most surprised in the EMT today?
There’s only one winner of that… All customer facing roles to be re-allocated as Regional All vanity projects to be sold/cancelled starting with the purple park BS, BP, SCM and all the pointless technocrats for an organization this size... — read more
Ode On A Texan Urn
There once was a fella from Baylor Who said “As CEO I can’t be a failure” I’ll overpay for fiber We’ll sign up subscribers And shareholders will praise my behavior. His manner was disarmingly folksy His Board and employees he’d coax(ee) I’ve got my... — read more

Elliott and Fiber

New Managers for Everyone…Again!
So with all the pending personnel changes, pending moves to occur to Houston, and changes yet to be made by the new EMT team and Elliott, everyone will probably get a new manager which is par for the course with Clown Castle. For every year I have... — read more
Move to Houston
Does everyone have to move to Houston?
I'm not optimistic about the future
I think things are too far gone, and no matter what is done, there's no saving this place.
Ding do-g
The witch is dead! Now please get rid of this purple bs and the entire bs and useless your connection entourage that LN built! Sell fiber and small cell then the mess that is Project Delivery. Start from scratch!
Doing everything Elliot ask. Bye bye fiber
Along with retiring Jay they also changed their by laws https://last10k.com/sec-filings/CCI/0001051470-23-000171.htm?utm_source=stocktwits&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=8K&utm_term=CCI 2/3 items down on the list now they get people in place and sell... — read more
An Ode to Jay Brown's PURPLE Values System
As our now former, sh-t-canned leader, Jay Brown asked us to reflect on our "ingenious" PURPLE Values system as we approach the holidays, I decided to write this ode to Jay and the Crown Castle he drove into the ground with his leadership. P is for... — read more
Elliott if you’re reading this
Please for the love of all things holy, stop this moving to Houston train wreck. Just let us all work from home since our offices are closing. I doubt it saves any of us, especially if any of us have turned our letters in, but I honestly would like... — read more
Leadership Crisis!
Nobody knows which a$$ to kiss!
AND he’s gone
Well deserved
Nice Morning Read

I plan to quiet quit until I get a new job
This place will not get anything extra from me anymore. No extra effort, no extra time, nothing. If they feel like firing me for it, so be it. I already have some interviews lined up and I'm optimistic about the future. I'm done giving my all to a... — read more
Thankful Purple
What a tone deaf email.
Investigation for fraud?
Investors being sought to join in an investigation for Board and EMT fraud. Anything to worry about?
Watch your cobra payments
Just fyi so you don’t lose the benefit. Even though mine was to auto pay, it didn’t go. It doesn’t seem like an option now in my acct. you may have to manually pay.
Was this the goal?
The few really good people who are still here are now leaving on their own because they don't see Crown as a good place to work or grow your career anymore. If the goal of layoffs and everything else that happened was attrition, I don't think those... — read more

Those left at Crown
It is amazing to me the people that Crown keeps at the last few lay offs. There are few great people left, but the majority of them are and have always been absolutely terrible at their job. I recently was sent a social media post of a manager that... — read more
Hi Elliott!
If we make a petition and get enough signatures will you make them keep the Southpointe office open? They’re ruining our lives.
Q4 Company Conversation Reaction Thread

Humpty Dumpty Scenario
All the clown castle articles in the news and on the web for EVERYONE in the stock market world to see can’t be giving warm fuzzies to the carriers on clown castle’s towers and is great ammunition for clown castle’s competitors. Clown castle once sat... — read more
Nothing’s left in towers either
Jay axed over half of towers that it’ll never be able to service customers like before. Towers is crumbling an increasingly fast death thanks to CP and Jay. What Elliott refers to as the core successful business of crown greatness years ago is long... — read more
Stock Goes Up After Elliott Asks JB to Hit the Bricks
I think the street's reaction to the news that Elliott wants the board refreshed and JB gone is all you need to know about their leadership. I took the bag and split to a better job and if you can, do it as well. Crown's reputation is complete doo... — read more
