I am a Crown survivor caught in the last layoff debacle. I worked for both sides of the business, so I have no dog in the fight. It is unfortunate to see employees and other survivors fight in the message boards. Nobody can identify the single cause... — read more
Where’s the fiber elitists now?
Praise Elliott! Maybe now someone will drop the bo-b needed on that failing sector and restore Crown to its glory days of Towers, towers and more towers.

CL and the bubble gum machines
Strange that he is now COO of both sides of the business especially since the fiber machines failed so miserably. Setting him up to be the fall guy?

Requests for the Elliot people
In case any of the Elliot Mgmt people lurk this message board, can you add a few things to your list of demands for CCI leadership? 1) Give us our 2 days WFH back 2) Give us our gym reimbursement back 3) Stop this Houston nonsense Its pretty... — read more

Looks like JB could be gone before we are!
Anyone who thinks it's a good business model to continue to pay out millions in dividends quarter after quarter (and borrowing money to do so) from a company with a 4-1 debt ration needs to turn in their business degree. The board continues to... — read more

Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. No matter whether you are still employed or are/will be laid-off, the EMT gave everyone a “turkey” this year with their recent business decisions. Let’s all be thankful we are not defined by the company we work for, the... — read more
Jay does ads for Ford!
Check out his latest LinkedIn post where he does an advertisement for Ford. #smh this is what our wonderful CEO does when he ruined so many people’s lives.
Clown Castle Circus
Is this the kind of treatment SP folks are to expect from the Houston office? Is this a plan to badger them consistently after their first day in a new environment with strange faces… to a point where they will quit? Are there secret office wagers in... — read more
Many Key Leaders are moving
I’m shocked at the list of those moving to Houston. People who keep saying they aren’t leaving PA have already committed, I’m told by a reliable BS friend. Shocked.
Not seeing a lot of interest in a move
The current vibe is less than 5 percent will be heading south. Seems the failing culture is not appealing enough to uproot a family. Even seeing people that are not required to move or already work I. Houston planning an exit. Those are the smart... — read more

Purple Relo Package
Can anyone elaborate on the Purple Relo Package that is being offered to select employees? Regards, Cecil Township for Life!
Remote Tower Employees are Slackers
Everyone knows fiber and SCN have been supporting Crown’s financial stability, the outdated tower business model is old and failing. Very few Tower folks have the knowledge or understanding of how a network operates and they are clinging to the... — read more
EMT Failed Crown
Its sad to have been around to watch the EMT run this company into the ground. They have to be considered the laughingstock of the tower industry. Isnt it time for the clowns to leave and take down other companies? The core remained too long. Ask... — read more
Termination of Remote Employees
Did anyone hear anymore news on the plans to terminate remote employees National and Regional, starting with Managers and Directors. This is to balance the heartburn the Canonsburg employees are going through.
Nervous or Not
If you are in the sacred inner circle, you're not even shaking or worried. You'll get to go or stay remote, or stay in an office that others were told was closing just 4 months ago. No need to try to rationalize the fairness or equal move offers or... — read more
DISH Layoffs…Which means more layoffs for Crown!

JB’s freaking out
About the latest DISH earnings! Potential bankruptcy on the horizon means no rev
About time!
It’s about time a company conversation is going to happen. That MF JB is finally going to show his face!
If they really wanted to keep Southpointe employees…
They would sell the building and allow us to work remote. They DO NOT want us to move, the severance is much more tempting of an offer. Offer RSU’s to a company that has seen only the stock dropping, yeah, that’s worthless. Do not be fooled, take... — read more
If you opt to relocate, is your position safe?
I've heard stories of people being laid off within a year of relocating in the past, is this true? Why would anybody accept to relocate if it is?
Trying to make the wheel "Rounder"
When this company was around 1500 employees it was one of the greatest companies I had every worked for. Jim Young was an amazing COO who truly focused on knowing all people within the company and genuinely cared about it. We all had a voice and... — read more

To anyone considering the relo…do your due diligence on the Houston area. This is NOT a city I would choose to relocate my family to. Ick
Another round of cuts/forced relocation in Feb
Apparently there are talks of another cut/forced relocation in Feb
Crown has friends
Here. So many sets of eyes trying to connect the purple pumas.
This is intentional
They hope to convince you to quit on your own so they can save money on severance. I wouldn't do them any favors by quitting. Make them pay you if they want you out that bad.
Going out of business sale
This is the 3rd layoff/down sizing I have seen with Crown Castle over the past 4-5 years, with the last 2 recent down sizings within 6 months of each other. While I understand the tightening of the corporate belt to reduce costs, this latest... — read more
No letter? Don't worry, it's not worth waiting for.
Terms are laughable. A nominal amount that won't even begin to cover moving expenses. NO help with selling your house, NO help with moving services. What a joke! It's clear they don't want us in Houston. No, thank you, I will be "better together at... — read more
Not TOGETHER
Hearing many people are being offered multiple locations to relocate their National role. This may encourage a few to move but how do you square that against the claimed purpose. Going from together to spread across the country doesn’t add up — read more
Hey New Hire...

Who’s up for a merchandise burn party? Personally, I have no interest in wearing anything that says Crown Castle on it.
4pm and No Letter!
I am in Southpointe and have been waiting for my letter to come and have not received anything. Other people received theirs this morning. Anyone else still waiting?
