CCI stock dropped $10 from two days ago. CC needs a complete cleaning house of management from EMT through local area managers. This company and its fiber and small cell records are horrible over the past ten years to date. I wouldn’t be surprised if... — read more
Zayo and EQT better have some smart people
I don’t see how the current leadership will be able to transition our assets to the buyers. They could barely run network, and keep track of what small cells we have. D&C doesn’t even know where the nodes are and what is even in them. Now they are... — read more
Who cares about what comes next?
I’ll just be here until I’m laid off. In the meantime, I’ve been making sure to stay up to date on my skills, constantly checking for other opportunities, and not really caring about what happens with CC. It’s not like any of us can influence the... — read more
Finally a SMART CEO
YES! A CEO who actually knows the business, understands finance, and can talk to both a crowd and a single human—what a concept! Please, make him permanent and show the consultant impostors the door. We swear, not a single soul will ask for pet... — read more
So Long, SM???
Does anybody have any information about the news of the CEO layoff?
Something feels off
Two managers just up and left in the past couple weeks. One took a job at a different team - laterally. The other just walked away. it makes me nervous. What if they saw somthing coming. What if we are the only ones in the dark... Maybe I am... — read more
Time to take your talents somewhere else
Especially if you're young. Crown will do nothing for your career except hold you back. If I weren’t close to retirement, I’d be long gone.
Do we know if layoffs are coming for sure or not?
Looks like most people are speculating but nobody knows for sure.
What would investing in Towers mean once fiber /small cell distraction is gone
Where will we be investing once we just can focus on competing with American Tower etc and not incinerating cash on fiber and small cells? Hurdle rate for a tower co is higher? So what makes the cut?
How will the sale of fiber affect the rest of us?
I imagine there will be some restructuring.
After every layoff round, my productivity drops
Each time I see a bit clearer how disposable they consider us and it affects my work ethic. Why should I give it my all for a place that will cut without a second thought no matter how good I am at what I do? I'm getting to a point where my bare... — read more

Fiber vs small cell valuation
Interesting that fiber, with massive amounts of physical assets is valued at the same amount as small cells. https://www.jwttc.com/post/crown-castle-announces-agreement-to-sell-fiber-segment-to-eqt-and-zayo-for-8-5-billion
Anyone know how the last round went?
If you're willing to share, that'd be amazing. Did they give a reason? How much time did you have to pack up? Is severance set in stone? Did anyone manage to get a recommendation letter? Just trying to get a sense of what to expect. Not looking... — read more
I’ve been lucky so far
Too lucky, perhaps. My guess is that my luck will run out this time, especially with almost all of us at fiber now at high risk of being laid off. Oh well... I can’t say it would be the worst thing that ever happened to me, but the state of the job... — read more
Predictions
For those of us who haven’t been in this situation before, what groups do you feel like have a chance of keeping a job? Just general thoughts I guess on what the next year and a half looks like for various groups.
The nightmare is nearly over
Hopefully once the dust settles we can go back to being a great place to work where people rarely quit.

Would things be better if Ted Miller had gotten back on the board?
Not that it changes anything now, but would anything be different?
Imma miss y'all motherpha cars
It's been a long timing coming. This has got to be the strangest 2 years for any company. An investor turning a company upside down. A 'review' that should have been kept quiet from the start instead of torturing employees for months. A review... — read more

Answer time: Survey & All-Hands needed
Do a pulse survey and all-hands. People are stressed, divided, and worn out. Sale, cuts—too much limbo. Those with bad leaders, worse.
What does the future hold?
What do we think gang? Do we have a fiber deal getting announced, or nah?

Did anyone receive their dividends on their recent tranche of vested RSU's? Normally it happens the week the stock vests but I did not receive anything.
