They want you to “take” the severance but then start looking for work and find something else. Then they can deny you the severance because you didn’t work out the full transition period. Duh. They also don’t want you to relocate for lower level... — read more
Severance package for people who are on the current position for over 2 years only
Why should company pay severance to all who just got promoted, and still learning role. How would they train others to do the job. Waste of company money...
Unlimited PTO
Since it’s open enrollment, we need to be allowed to never work.
No more Remote Positions!
If you have access to CCI Reports…there is a report you can run to see who is Remote. There are a high number of VPs, Directors, and Managers who work from the comfort of their easy chairs at home. We need to raise our voices against this unfair... — read more
Forest Gump would be a better CEO
Stupid is as stupid does! Let’s make a huge decision based on an external consultant and exclude critical thinking from the leadership that actually runs the teams in this space. Great plan JB! One group I don’t see mentioned often is National... — read more
Relo package will be a joke
Heads up for those considering a move to Texas. Your relo package will be paid in RSU’s and not cash, meaning you front your move and maybe able to get repaid after 12 months from your relo date once it’s vests.
JB
Company is disgusting. They openly discriminate, to put unqualified people in management. It’s not what you know it’s who you..
Friendly Reminder
Open Enrollment starts next week, please do not miss updating your benefits.
Yea, Y’all thought it bad showing up 3 days a week
That Dam commute from PA to TX is going to be a 8itch! Go Astros!

Houston, we have a problem!
This is all terrible. All of it. It's still a business. They are doing what a business does. Tries to survive, if not thrive. They are doing what they "think" they need to do to survive. The decisions being made are by the same people who landed... — read more
COMPANY FAIL!
It’s the “Finding additional space in Houston” even-though we own 2 buildings in Southpointe?? and the “WE NEED YOU” for me… F*ck this company man. Do they actually think 1600 people will relocate? Id--ts… 100% will just hire “new college graduates”... — read more

I haven't seen much discussion from the remote side of the business so i thought I would chime in. I as a FOT was in the first wave of cuts, got my check and sold the stock while moving forward. I stay in contact with the skeleton crew that was left... — read more
Crown is like being in a narcissistic relationship
Full of gaslighting. Once you get out, it all becomes so clear. I promise.
Good Morning: From Your Connection
Does anyone know what time The Bull $hit Detector will be giving a C-Suite update? I assume it’s at 9cst…
Parting gift
All tenure paperweights we were “graciously” rewarded should be left in front of 2000 like a cemetery or mailed to Houston as a reminder of those they left behind.
Consolidate the Regions?
It was mentioned on another post that Crown will be consolidating the regions. Just looking for more information about what that would mean.
Do shareholders know 1000 teammates aren’t moving?

Is anyone actually considering going to Houston?
Is anyone serious about going? I just wonder how many people are going to take the severance and run or just quit very soon.
Let's Unionize
Let's unionize and get someone who can fight for us and not be pushed around by JB and LN: https://www.opeiu.org/NeedAUnion/JoinContactUs.aspx
Lawsuit anyone??
Can we collectively sue CC? I mean seriously, what the heck are we doing letting them f us over like this. Not sure of the legality, but this is total BS.
Houston Office
So what’s so great about the Houston office? Is there a gym? A daycare? Free lunches every day? If they want to compare their benefits/perks to Apple and Google, shouldn’t our HQ be as bougie? I’ve been to a smaller company’s HQ where they had at... — read more

Brown Castle has failed - Will investors hold him accountable?
It's a good thing the B3s were abolished so that being accountable is no longer a burden to the business. Looks like Crown will not hit it's build numbers for 2023, not even close. At some point the customers will use contractual language to... — read more
Abusive CLOWN CASTLE relationship
This is hilarious, like an abused spouse, they take away your colleagues, lie to you, take away your “house” then we are supposed to trust them to move to Houston?! What on God’s green earth do you think will happen if you do this. Don’t be a fool... — read more

Jay Brown...BYE!
Ran Crown into the gound
I think we can all agree...
Management has demonstrated over the years that they do not know how to run this company. Poor, short-sighted acquisitions that they had no business buying, because they do not know how to run and scale the tower business, much less sc or fiber... — read more
Will VergeX or Versa or... be sold?

A note for anyone affected this time:
As soon as you are told or you pass on relocating, you’ll be locked out of your computers and treated like a criminal by the company. No one will respond to your questions and you’ll be put in the cold.
How many people are in Southpointe?
1000? 1500?
So long, Crown
Leaving this post for ideas on how to move forward in cities where Crown is eliminating jobs. Reach out to your jurisdiction leaders and let them know that Crown is limiting jobs in our area where they are hoping to get work. Pay attention... — read more
