VP used to mean something. Not no more. The new VP for the east don’t make me laugh. I have worked under this bully jerk for almost 2 years and hes a joke. my team is terrified of him and his lieutenants and henchmen. Sick that he is are VP. Watch... — read more
More and more demoralizing
I don't know how Crown Castle came up with that, but for me there is no greater motivation than when I have so much work that I can barely get enough rest, so that I can continue working at the same pace the next day, and some colleagues don't even... — read more
11% increase to the dividend
More pay out of the executives instead of investing it into employees or God forbid systems.
If you can, stay away from CC
If you can find employment at any other company I'd advise you to do it. Here, you will be met with more work than you can handle despite working constant overtime and no chance of moving up no matter what you do. Promotions are reserved for family... — read more
Oct 20 earnings call
How do you think it’s going to go? I believe weasel Jay will paint a rosy picture, tell everybody how great Crown is doing because of all the Verizon and Dish C band upgrades, all while Crown bleeds money by overpaying GCs and upper management... — read more
Booted for Vaccination Date mismatches
careful if you have reported vaccinated and are loading proof later with different date from when first reported. Company is checking and firing when they don’t match. Many fired this week. More work for those of us left. Company has become a joke. — read more
Incompetence, incompetence all around
Does it just seem to me or is this becoming a company where mediocrity thrives? There are exceptions of course, those who really work hard and are very professional, but it surprises me when I see how mediocre people are building careers here... — read more
Wearing multiple hats
On the plus side, it’s not that bad because I quickly learned some new things that could help me get a better job somewhere else faster. However, wearing multiple hats over multiple months literally burned me out. For a long time now, none of my... — read more
Fragility
for many, coming into the office requires a distinctly unromantic commute. It means cobbling together childcare plans, particularly with the nationwide bus driver shortages and school quarantine regulations after illness or a potential exposure. It... — read more
How many will quit because of vaccination?
I think very few people would rather quit than get vaccinated. However, I do not believe that the leadership has plans for how to replace these people. By way of cause and effect more people will leave because they will not be able to endure... — read more
Anyone else stressing because you are already doing the work of 5 people and we are gonna lose more teammates due to the vax requirement?
What do y’all think of today’s an announcement?
What is the point of an energy efficient building when everyone burns fossil fuels to commute to the office?
It seems very two faced, insincere, and poorly thought out. If you really care about the environment then reduce traffic and don’t let your employees spend hours driving every day. Clogged roads make emergency services less efficient. Nobody wants to... — read more
Over the top workload
What does Crown actually expect from an employee? To work for several people and be grateful to have a job? This is awful. I love my job and have always been a hard worker, but the amount of work now done by a single employee is humiliating. People... — read more

Digital transformation
Why is the digital transformation taking so long? Why do we still use all these sluggish systems?
What Exceptions allow for Remote Work????
Since the recent EMT call, has anyone been informed what exceptions would allow people to work remotely? As many offices have closed or will not have leases renewed, would mileage be a consideration (>100 miles rt for example)? Not trying to... — read more
The Upcoming Remote Work Company Culture War
Those who manage but don’t do work love talking about how the office is this magical collaboration circus, where the brilliance of human minds connect like voltron to form Genius. What usually happens is that you can talk to people in person quicker... — read more
Not the Same!
Once upon a time, at an All Hands event(for those that remember), when speaking about a few bad apples in our B3 Culture, Ben M. said "If they do not fit with our culture, we want to help them find somewhere where they do fit with the culture!" It... — read more
A Better 30% Coalition Idea...
There are better ways for CC to expand our influence. The reorganization has already firmly divided the different groups inside CC, now we are intent on increasing that division to include merit by race, gender, etc. A better idea....A true 30%... — read more
The Vax Is Now A Condition of Employment
How many people do you think will be leaving CCI now? Lawsuits incoming?
Jay and the EMT panicked
Last fall hundreds of employees were let go because the company was called out by Elliot Management for not meeting expectations. Not only did they lose these employees but they also lost a good amount of employees who fled to other companies such... — read more

Why the Jay hate? Why blame all the problems on jay and the emt?

for anyone that still has stocks in CCI, remember to go vote Jay Brown out and vote no on the board compensation.
Union?
Do we have a union?
Do the Right Thing, EMT!
Here's a thought, since it wasnt the people who are out there everyday delivering for our Customers who decided to go all in on the fiber/small cell strategy, why are they taking the 70% payout hit on their bonuses. Do the right thing and even... — read more
Is it too late to move away from a bad investment?
I would be surprised if Crown Castle was not at least exploring their options as far as selling their fiber assets. It has been a disaster and nobody in the entire company knows how to manage it. Now it would be a good time to move on from their bad... — read more
Automate everything that can be automated?
Okay, now it seems to me that they want to automate everything that can be automated in this company. So they are willing to invest a lot, pay more to maintain machines / systems that generally have a lower degree of flexibility ... just to get rid... — read more

More operational Fiber layoffs in the West. They didn't trim the fat enough before Thanksgiving and wanted to trim 10-30% more staff from Fiber/Network before end of Q4. This news is breaking today.

VP of Digital Transformation fired today
Will be announced on all hands tomorrow. Sales VP of Analytics will be taken over. Hard to find someone who did a worse job then current VP. Destroyed culture, spent millions, utterly clueless.
