Good morning, we made it to 2025! We have Fiber, SCN, and Towers, life is good and we should all look forward to a joyful and prosperous year together functioning as One Team. We all need to bury the decisiveness that is destroying our culture.
So which “Holiday” will it be?
Announcement was supposed to come “before the holidays”, and we are now 2 days from New Years with nothing. Time to start taking bets on which Holiday the announcement will be before: New Years - 100/1 MLK Day - 30:1 Valentines Day - 10:1 Presidents... — read more
CC after fiber
You think leadership is capable of putting us on the right track after fiber is gone? I’m afraid their incompetence will only become more visible.
The is getting exciting
https://www.lightreading.com/fttx/crown-castle-lumen-reportedly-closer-to-selling-their-fiber-networks Buyers are circling the fiber networks of both Crown Castle and Lumen Technologies, according to a handful of reports. Reuters reports that Lumen... — read more
Is PIP essentially a guaranteed path to firing?
Is there any way to make it through and still keep your job?"
Happy Holidays
Merry Christmas folks. And all the other (happy) holidays going on in the world.
I'm tired of staring in a psychological thriller
I’m so tired of layoffs acting like villains from psychological thrillers - always keeping you on edge, stressing you out, and then just when you think they’re gone for good, they jump back out of nowhere. Can my life switch genres to a comedy for a... — read more
We are the prime example of how bad leadership ruins companies
We may survive. That’s kind of acceptable. But CC could have been much better with smarter people at the helm and visionary leaders. When everything is reduced to meeting the immediate needs of the C-suite, followed closely by shareholders, companies... — read more
This is us
We are gonna need a total revamp of Crown after this fiber sale. I doubt Crown will offload SC. They are gonna keep it and mimic towers structure. There's gonna be a huge amount of folks going to the buyers side because we got fat in terms of... — read more

Is Elliot still a major investor in CCI? Can someone confirm please
Accountability
I am new to this site and reading through it is shocking. The venom that is being thrown around here while everyone pretends to be nice to eachother at work is insane. Hiding behind a keyboard isn't something any one of us should spend our time on... — read more

how does that feel Steve Moskowitz Looks like we have another strategic review on your hands
What a horrible year
And ending on a low note. So sorry for all who were laid off, being laid off or are still here. Whatever happens in the near future, one thing is certain - we’ll have more layoffs. People who can afford to leave, or are in the process of finding... — read more
Looks like we did lose all our leads
We are supposedly down to the last hour of the announcement, and none of these past messages were even close to legit… We truly lost all the nice folks spilling the beans on hear… Going forward, more fibs on this site as we close out what ever the... — read more
Phoenix folks Paid to stay home and not tell anyone
People are getting laid off and I get told today they have people told to stay home because they have no work, But don't tell anyone because we cant go down headcount.???? Great Job VPDP, you are a proven leader.
Don't be surprised...

See ya!
Finally leaving this sinking ship. Buyout is official. Crown, you ran us into the ground. Looking for greener pastures now.
How many employees leaving on 12/13/24?
Anyone know about total number of employees or estimated number scheduled to leave the company tomorrow? Would there be any more rounds of layoffs before the official sale?
Back to where we started
A year later, give or take 3000 jobs, $30 millions of dollars in proxy fight, millions in fees for the fiber review, $300 million + in cost savings, shutting down offices, and the stock is right back to where it was when the fiber review started. ... — read more
Considering a change
I'm so over the constant layoffs and stress about job security. I’ve been thinking about walking away, but the unknown freaks me out, to say the least. I guess it's hard to let go of something familiar, even if it’s not ideal. I wonder, for those who... — read more
Any Actual proof of a deal or is it all still hearsay?
Does Anyone actually know anything, or is everyone like me, just waiting for the slightest inclination that something is actually getting done?
Changes at the SP buildings
Seems like they are planning to eliminate one of the SP buildings as a potential work location. Is there enough space in a single building? They are doing something similar in Houston.
Blame Game
It’s comical to me how millennials get blamed for the direction of the company and constantly get called entitled. Just because your kid is entitled because you raised them that way, doesn’t mean we all are.
Retiring early
A lot of people are deciding to retire sooner than they expected. It makes me curious about what’s driving that decision. I’m not a big fan of Crown, but I don’t think the situation is bad enough to push people into early retirement. Is there... — read more
Newest SEC Filling - Blackrock
Before everyone freaks out like some did from the last filling, Blackrock only increased their existing holding by ~7%, or ~2.8 million shares to their new total of ~44.5 million shares. They did not just now buy 10% of Crown shares, they only... — read more
Crown will fall, eventually

Tough year(s)
I’ve given up on CC. I’ve been putting minimum effort into work since the last round of layoffs and have dedicated all the time and energy available to job search. There are other options there and none of us should really care what will happen with... — read more
Who's ready for red december?

Done with this place
I can’t take this anymore. This place is toxic, and nothing gets done. I’m out soon, no way I’m sticking around in this nightmare. I feel for the people stuck here, constantly living in fear of layoffs. It’s miserable. No paycheck is worth this kind... — read more
Just switch off, guys
I know we are all anxious about what is going to happen. But we can not influence the outcome. Just keep the mental distance, do the bare minimum at work and at least investigate the job market.
How will it be announced

Purple Palace Is For Sale
With the Houston building in the process of being leased out, the rumors of transitioning the EMT to Canonsburg are becoming true. Houston folks you will be asked to relocate to the great state of PA.
We are a Fortune 500 why do we behave this way!?
We aren’t. That is old news from 2020.
What a mess
“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” Quote by James Clear that 100% sums up life at Crown for the last 10 years. Arrogance wouldn’t allow us to find a system and stick with it. Constant change with a... — read more
What are you doing???
Make the f-n decision already and announce what’s going to happen. The longer this drags out the worse it looks on leadership.
