As we head into the week of doom, good luck all. If the worst happens try to look on the bright side and embrace the opportunity of new found freedom. I know the EMT is about to ruin a lot of our lives with missed mortgage payments, food off the... — read more
Purple Poison
Writing was on the wall when they came out with the PURPLE BS. How much time and money was spent to come up with that lame sh-t. Is EMT and the board drinking too much of this garbage and asleep at the wheel? I got an idea let's buy more fiber cause... — read more
Crown is still great
Despite all of the negativity, Crown is still a great place to work. We have compassionate leaders who drive accountability in a nurturing way. We have brand new offices that make people want to come to work. The compensation is higher and more... — read more
Wow, just wow
It’s so unfortunate that this rif has caused both sides to rip each other apart because everyone feels their side is better than the other. I am embarrassed and ashamed to be part of the company right now. We are so much better than this
Talent Leadership
It’s terrible to witness a once great organization being torn apart with dishonesty and a lack of integrity. I can speak about talent leadership as the leader Coach department is not confidential. In fact, people leaders conversations are captured... — read more
Jay Dan and Chris
The three amigos! The boiler plate on how to sc--w up a once great company. How much longer can they cling to their roles before the board wakes up?
Towers Call
Did the CEO really just do that call without a single mention of layoffs and the current situation in his speech? What a joke. Pathetic. At least the new COO referenced things going on “next week” one single time…
Layoffs started??
Did the layoffs start today?
Cathy Out
Cathy Piche leaving CCI as COO-Towers.
God bless!!!
Little anxious with what is on horizon but however it works out, Crown was the best place I've ever worked and my co workers are like family. Remember God is in control, He is good and He will make away. There is always hope with Him, nothing is... — read more
Being laid off is not the worst thing that can happen to you here
Of course, being laid off is usually a very stressful experience and I feel sorry for anyone affected, but I still think that it is certainly not the worst thing that can happen to someone here. Those who are laid off get motivation, time and... — read more
Deleted posts
A posts are getting deleted from here. Does Crown own this site?
Stocks Low, but Who's Buyin'
Stock is
All this increases our mistrust of the leadership
I am still safe, but I wonder if after everything I will even want to work in a company where I no longer have any faith in the leadership... I know I am not the only one with such thinking... The atmosphere is getting worse every day.
Will Finance be Moved to Houston?
"Roles that do not directly impact or support regional operations will be moved to Houston" I read this as all of Finance being offered relo packages. But, it is a bit vague. I just hate being in limbo.
No PTO payout.
What a coincidence they Jay and the EMT announced at the end of 2022 that PTO wouldn't be payed out for separation of employment for what ever reason. They tried to convince us that PTO is an expensive perk and that we shouldn't be payed for this... — read more
Layoffs Network Side
Who do you think or maybe know...is getting laid off on the Network side. It hasn't been announced officially yet since the VP is on pto.
Is it over?
I'm worried about seeing more layoffs next week.
Relo to Houston
If you are offered a relo to the Purple Palace in Houston as part of a severance, would you take it?
Lying Executive team
We were told a month ago by the CFO that we were in good shape and nothing to worry about. That the company wouldn’t be letting go of people since it cost more money to retrain and rehire. This layoff has been in the works for months. Executives and... — read more
Purple Kool-Aid
Some need to realize that Telecom was here long before Crown/Jay Brown. You have had too much of the Purple Kool-Aid, free pizza and safe spaces. Believe it or not there are a few of us left within Crown that have actual tower experience. We have... — read more
WARN Act
Attorneys out there: how does the federal WARN Act apply in a situation like the impending layoff? Why didn't CCI give 60-days' warning... or is there some kind of legal loophole they can wiggle out of it with?
Time to jump off the burning ship?
Just curious which companies people are looking at for their next position.
They don't care. Deal with it!
It's sad that some people here still can't accept that those at the top simply don't care about the employees. Why is it so hard to accept that? This is simply not the same place it used to be. It's time to realize that and move on.
Incompetent Upper Management
The upper management was told for the last several years that unless they made changes to the constructions services division they would not be successful. There was a meeting with a large portion on the management and the changes that needed to... — read more
Where was the outrage when the 2020 cuts happened?
Where was all of this outrage in 2020 when a couple hundred employees were cut? It was the same poor management and the same poor decision making. When people got let go in 2020 it was “well, that’s just part of the business” or “that’s what... — read more
Lead in Cables
https://seekingalpha.com/news/3991773-justice-dept-epa-investigate-telecom-companies-over-lead-cables-wsj What about all of the Crown-laid fiber? This story isn’t going away.
Crown Lost its Identity
Once again we see the lack of leadership or accountability with EMT and Directors. Why should anyone expect other at this house of cards? Construction services are targeted to be gutted, while the leadership makes changes for stockholders. The... — read more
Jay, Levendos, Karen and Cohorts
The title says it all. Never have I seen a more clueless leadership crew. Can anyone honestly and impartially point to one single material improvement Levendos, “Karen”!, Brewer, Perez etc have done to move us forward? They are hated by our entire... — read more
Severance
Has anyone been able to confirm the severance package?
They'll ruin the company
Maybe that's a bit harsh to say, but my opinion is that the leadership is actually ruining this company really fast. The only question is how much longer all this will last, that is, how long before it hits the rock bottom. I hope it won't come to... — read more
Are cuts still happening?
Can somebody provide more info on what's going on for those of us who are currently on vacation, please?
Still here?
Where’s that “still here and going strong” toolbox? Stock=not strong, company=not strong with a severe public 15% layoff. Enjoy retirement, hope you feel good about mis-leading all the folks on here as well as all of those you pretend to lead. — read more
Layoffs are here
15% culling on the way
Layoffs incoming?
Someone just told me that they heard from someone that layoffs were imminent, they even mentioned a number of 700 employees. Hard to differentiate the rumor mill from reality though of course…. Anyone heard anything?
Uh oh!!!
BMO gives Crown a bear rating. Is this a first? https://seekingalpha.com/news/3987396-american-tower-rated-new-outperform-at-bmo-crown-castle-gets-bear-rating
Crown Castle External Affairs
CCI has cleaned house on the entire comms and government team - leadership has either been fired, quit or about to be fired. What say you? Good or bad for the company?
