As I read these posts, I feel deep concern for both current and former teammates. I want to gently remind everyone that if you’re facing something difficult or need support, you can reach out to the Ethics Alert Line. It’s managed by an independent... — read more
DD Townhall and emotions
It's so lame both leaders are not even making eye contact. RA doesn't want to talk about his demotion. Hopefully, they are finding a replacement to consolidate all compliance departments.
Severance, retirement and Medicare
Just had a talk with my adviser about this whole voluntary layoff thing….With me I am so close to 65, I plan to get out of telecomm and pick up a mediocre part time job to cushion the loss of CC funds. Come to find out the upcoming deposit of my... — read more
Towers quarter zip leadership
Just trust what this leadership team tells you. Look past the quarter-zip smiles and forced enthusiasm and you will see a mountain of corporate spin. CP called out “incredible collaboration” this week...People at desks were not collaborating they... — read more
Cobra coverage
What happened to Crown continuing coverage throughout the severance period? I just filled out the continuation form and Crown is paying $38 and I am paying $2000 per month. This is my 3rd lay off in 25 years in the industry, its never been done with... — read more
CEO
Does anyone think this new CEO is a clown?
Silent RIFs
It seems that people are disappearing from teams without any company wide communication. Look on social media and you'll find evidence. This is worse than major rounds, in my opinion. At least with a major round, you know when it's done. This can go... — read more
Unused PTO
I am really surprised no one is talking about loosing their unused PTO. I cant believe CC get away with this. PTO is something that is accrued (earned). How can they get away with not paying that out at the time of termination? Unless of course the... — read more
WARN Act Violation
Since they announced the layoff at 3pm on Weds, and laid everyone off by 2pm Thursday, wouldn’t that violate the WARN Act? Don’t they have to give a 60 day notice?
New Crown Castle 2.0
Like the saying goes it is better to be optimistic and wrong than pessimistic and right. This is my hope. After the storm passes and we sell Fiber and Small Cell we have the money to hire many of these talented, loyal, and hard workers back. It... — read more
I survived this round, and I feel numb
It doesn't feel like a win at all.
Wanting to leave
Anybody know how to get offered the severance package if you were moved to another team? I got moved to a new department without any say in it, and I'd rather have the severance instead.
Layoffs
I was layed off AFTER thw all clear email went out. Way to break my heart..
Corruption in the Castle
How could the 20 year plus employees survive this round of layoffs…Director and Manager? Good old boy network is still alive and thriving. Hardworking, educated, younger employees did not get a fair shake, 20 plus years of corruption…shame on you... — read more
Guess ‘Efficiency’ Means Keeping the Yes-Men and Cutting the Doers
It finally happened. Tons of solid, hard-working people gone. Some cuts probably made sense. But let’s be honest — a lot of what’s left looks like the professional “yes” crowd whose core skill is ego management, not actual delivery. Feels like the... — read more
Any idea if they’ll wrap up the layoffs this week?
The thought of this spilling into next week makes me feel sick.
My heart goes out to everyone impacted
Maybe we think we're mentally prepared, and maybe many of us don't even like our jobs, but losing one still weighs heavy. And we all still need the paycheck. I hope everyone affected either has other options ready or gets lucky and finds a good job... — read more
Dish Fall Out
Is this really only impacting DISH teams since they are claiming it is from DISH defaulting
The Castle is Crumbling
Why it's the leadership at the top not held accountable. They created this disastrous outcome, and we the working employees are paying the ultimate price by losing our jobs and dignity. It's a very sad and heartbreaking day for a lot of good... — read more

Pet Health Care question
So… can I get pet health care added to my to Cobra?
Question on RSUs
Now that we see Crown Castle is going to weasel out on the RSUs for the 20% of people they are laying off tomorrow, it made me wonder about this corporate squeeze-play they are doing with RSUs for those in the perimeter. I’ve been a project manager... — read more
Any idea when the notifications might start?
That is, if the layoffs are definitely happening this week.
Layoffs this week
Happening this week, could be as many as 200 heads, doing it same week as earnings call, will be announced as a restructure charge, likely effective immediately or with extremely short notice once you’re notified, good luck
My manager turned on me
I’m in my mid thirties and thought good work would speak for itself. After leadership noticed me, my manager started freezing me out and slowing things down around my work. Things conveniently arrive late or not at all, and I’m left scrambling to... — read more
Teams Survival Mode
Does anyone else feel like the entire fiber and small cell business is in survival mode Understaffed Budgetary issues Expected OT This whole operation is running on one wheel it feels
Worrying
I’m curious if anyone else has thoughts or concerns about the recent update regarding Year End conversations. Leadership just communicated that YE discussions are being pushed back to the first week of March. I know delays like this can happen for... — read more
This leadership is useless
They only rely on layoffs and cost cuts and then they wonder why the stock keeps going down. Can we get some competent people in charge, please?
Crown Toxicity
Example , just know It’s not what you know or how well you are at your job, it’s how well liked you are by management. Good luck everyone!
Massive Layoffs
Run.
Do managers and directors work anymore?
I have noticed that managers and directors, especially those in the divestiture no longer work (if they did previously). They make fake meetings or keep their status as busy all day. Are your managers/directors working? This is especially true in... — read more
I'd leave if I could
I'm only at this place because my wife has a really good job locally. Otherwise, I'd be long gone. I've worked at several of our competitors, and the issues here are something else entirely. It's like everybody who's here is either just starting out... — read more
YE Reviews.. 2026 goals... lol
Just ask the simple question is it still 120% of budget.. is it tho... the decisions being made are just absolutely absurd at this point and that's saying a lot over the past 3-4yrs let alone the last 15. Sad for all of those who put in the time and... — read more
Stock Price
What's up with the stock price? Everyone seems to be doing good
Change how you think about job searching
I stopped obsessing over salary and focused on finding something that actually interested me and let me grow my skills. Starting over isn’t easy, and I knew that going in, but the constant stress disappeared almost immediately. I’m learning new... — read more
Whispers overheard from the C suite
Word is, Director level and up gave themselves a Christmas bonus this year quietly.. you know for all the hard work they did!
