Crown Castle lured our new CEO away from Vantage Towers with an $800,000 signing bonus and a $1 million salary. An SEC filing says that he could earn up to $14 million in his first year!!!!!! We are flushed with cash to give to a new EMT member!
New guys
He seems well qualified. Hopefully, he doesn't lie about going to college like the last guy
Today's call
Was it me or was today's call so difficult to watch. A lot of people asked questions but they didn't seem to really be what was on peoples' minds. The closest was the opacity of people in the perimeter. You would think everyone would know by now... — read more
Tower folks

All this talk about retention bonus
They say they aren't giving anymore rsu's to perimeters...have they mentioned if they are giving annual increases? They are really trying to motivate folks with big thank you's but no $. No wonder folks seemed to so tuned out nowadays. They also... — read more
CC is done
This place used to mean lifetime career. Now it’s more like how long until my division gets sold off? If you’re under 50, polish your LinkedIn. CC is done.
Get ready
A CEO announcement will be made soon.

Run
If you’re competent here, you’ll either burn out carrying the team or get blocked from advancing. They promote people who won’t question anything. Two years in and I’m already job hunting.
This sounds so familiar

Offer or no offer
Is it me or did they delete all the evidence that they once said perimeter peeps would be getting an offer from the buyer... Now it's just an automatic transfer... What concerns me more is they appear to just change anything they want without... — read more

Where’s the reach-around?

Managers and below
Someone must give credit where credit is due. There are individual contributors who are holding up entire departments while getting ignored by DM and Directors. Those people also took on extra work after a massive layoff last year. It's easy to read... — read more
Just a reminder
DS was in charge while everything bad happening now was decided. Lets hope he goes with the sold off departments or finally exits
CCI trims dividend by 32%
Who did Elliot actually help ? Thousands of employees laidoff, fiber assets sold for pennies on dollar, and tower company left with negative equity and no future growth. Sure wasnt Crown shareholders or employees
Office townhalls
Is anyone getting the schedule of these townhalls, or do they show up with an hours notice? Are they quiet because a new CEO is in the works or will his interim title just be removed? Seems a little quiet as we are 2 months into it without much... — read more

Crown Derangement Syndrome
This is very real and my Tower Manager suffers from it. He does everything to destroy the company and his Team and thinks he is doing the right thing!
This ship is sinking
The ones who kept this place running are long gone. What’s left is a skeleton crew drowning in extra work just to cover the gaps. There’s no fixing this mess.
EMT a sold bunch of stock
A lot of the EMT sold stock including CL. Last time they did this the stock went down 20%.

Crown Castle "managers"
Why does Crown insist on making people managers who are NOT managers? I have never seen such an array of non-people skills people being promoted to managers. None of these people have degrees in management. None of these people are fit to manage... — read more
Sounds like Tower team cuts to me
They just are not sure how many other people they will attribute to the sale of fiber and small cell.
