Will Crown have the cash to pay severance in August?

I've asked people in accounting who should know. They try to reassure me that they still have billions in a line of credit. But, why would lenders want to continue to loan Crown mass amounts of money when it's in this downward spiral? And... — read more

The writing was on the wall

When Jay and his cronies were recently in Southpointe for the “super collaborative and fun” BBQ (aka to stalk their next victims like cats event), Jay made his way to my team’s floor. Being the “leader” that he is, he asked my team “do you have... — read more

Why Return to Work?

Interesting read showing that companies are using increasing in office time as a way to get employees to quit rather than lay them off. It’s another form of “Quiet Cutting”. Basically CC is doing things to upset employees (return to work, move... — read more

If you choose to leave instead of moving….

don’t depend on any Unemployment. I can’t say you will get it or you will not…All I can say I filed when I was in the RIF wave in August and was denied due to the lump sum severance payment. It is unclear if I can refile next year when the calculated... — read more

Anyone receive an email or will it be after the official 11:59pm mark?

Regional Project Delivery next?

Now with the towers PD team being requested to relocate to TX, is network PD next? I heard that you won’t be considered “regional” unless you physically lay cable down/build the fiber etc from the discussions with the EMT.

That. Was. Awful.

No logical reason given for any of the moves. It has been wild seeing all decorum go out the window. I've never been less confident in the decision making abilities of the EMT. It is chaos. None of their reasons make sense and it is clear they... — read more

Everyone going to the DS Presentation at 1:00?

I wish someone would have the guts to ask if the decision to move 1300 jobs to Houston was made 30 days ago? 60 days ago? Or was it already in the works in July when we were told no further downsizing was being planned?

Strike

I know the severance and fear of retaliation will hold everyone effected hostage from being able to strike but if 1300+ people quit doing their jobs overnight I’m not sure the company could function. They’d either have to change their mind or they’d... — read more

Union fears

I heard the EMT was concerned about possible unionization. Any truth to that. Too late to save these jobs but they will sc--w the rest later. Unions were not a good fit for the old Crown when people came first, but with this shift to the people... — read more 

They don’t want anyone to move.

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

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.

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.
