Where’s the reach-around?
This constant not knowing what's happening or even where we're gonna be working, is ki-ling us. For the last two years, we've been busting our backs, picking up the slack for our buddies you just let go, all while still doing our own jobs and... — read more
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%.
Retention Bonus & Unpaid Commissions During Pending Sale – Questions for Others in Fiber/Small Cell
We’re in the middle of an acquisition in the fiber/small cell space, and leadership has rolled out a retention incentive plan offering a bonus if we stay through the close. No formal agreement yet—just verbal communication. What’s unclear (and... — read more
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.
Earnings call today
Think we will hear any more big announcements???

CFO’s First Major Decision Raises Questions
The CFO’s first big move, reverse a previous decision and retain a leader who has proven to not lead and destroyed morale of their past and present organization? The ongoing concerns about this leader’s understanding of the business, ability to... — read more
MM and LN overhead
The company collects tower rent, not develops products that bring revenue. Why does the company have an overhead of people who are always playing politics? Now, the old guard remains in this organization, and others have moved to the perimeter; there... — read more
Selective Moderation : Why when they don’t violate rules?
Forum supposed to be for layoff talk and some leaders are making the permitter lists their personal vendetta list, but posts about leaders and layoffs getting deleted. Some leaders changing story—we noticed. Why only those posts go missing? ... — read more
FIBER LAYOFFS
Does anyone who works in fiber know about any layoffs yet? Is it happening yet? Did anyone get letters to stay?
Layoffs, Lists & Retention: Where Things Stand Now, what do you know?
The transition is in full swing. The lists tied to CCi, Zayo, and EQT are made and they’re checking them twice to see who’s been “naughty” or “nice.” Many already know their fate, while others are still anxiously waiting to see where they land. Some... — read more
Thank you EMT & Board
Great job to the board and EMT making moves needed. Time to clean house, make us efficient bring in real leaders people who respect people in their teams and know how to build, not break. Change is hard, but it’s needed. Some leaders were put in... — read more
Zayo please read
The Purple is gone and Zayo needs to do their research on bad employees at Crown Castle. Houston OSP has the worst supervisors and above. The way they treat people is speechless and should not be tolerated! I see the bad treatment everyday and the... — read more
The death of Crown
For those of you that will be left after the rapture, it's gonna by a rough ride. We all know Cathy P will run this company in the ground. She's done it before.
Changes Are Life and Are Inevitable
Let’s be real—things have been a little wild lately, no doubt. But guess what? We’re part of a publicly traded company that’s evolving. That means change isn’t just expected—it’s necessary. If that feels uncomfortable, it might be time to either get... — read more
I wish I sold
When will I ever learn. Oh hopefully it goes back up within a few years.
Don't expect improvements
This place has been wrecking careers since the late 2000s. Anyone with an exit plan should bail while they still can. There’s zero loyalty left, and the pay isn’t even worth the stress anymore. Plenty of other fields actually treat people like humans... — read more
I'm optimistic
We wanted to see changes in the ELT, and changes are happening. I'm not saying their replacements are guaranteed to fix this place, but what are the chances they can do worse than their predecessors?
The Crown Has Been Restored!
Real work is back, and the leadership that matters gets it and are taking care of it! In one swift move, some infamous figures are exiting stage left: The Arrogant Impostor leader #1 – Talked big, did nothing, A few more remain so far who... — read more
So, are layoffs happening this month or not?
If so, I surely hope that most managers will be gone. One can dream.
Another one bites the dust
Ed Chan gone. Thoughts?
Employee Survey
Is it pointless to be honest?
BS network call today 4/1
Nothing but BS coming out of everyone on the call today. You really think we believe all of your lies lol
Purple People
Stay Positive, good times are just around the corner. Once the board figures out who needs to be at helm of this ship we will get back on course. We need to part ways first with all remote employees, they are like Federal Employees doing very little... — read more
April layoffs
Just caught wind of more layoffs hitting Crown next month – not sure how solid the source is though. Anyone else hearing these rumors or able to shut them down? Wouldn’t be shocked either way at this point.
Just a thought on Leadership
It’s impossible to overstate the sheer dysfunction of the leadership at Crown Castle. The directors, VPs, and senior managers operate in a constant state of chaos, unable to keep a single concept straight without overcomplicating everything to the... — read more
T3 call hillarity
The sheer disappointment is overwhelming. The apathy on those so-called "leaders’" faces was almost comical—if it weren’t so tragic. If credibility was ever in short supply, it has officially hit rock bottom. The idea that this is something to build... — read more
I still can't believe they let LN ruin this company
Years later and it's still crazy to see where we are since when she came around
