Not work or gossip related. Just wondering how things are going for our folks in Florida. Hope everyone is safe from Milton!
Fiber Sale Announcement
It’s definitely being announced during the Earnings call on Oct 16th, praying for TPG. They moved the Q3 fiber recognition call from the 16th to the following Friday, and pretty much all team meetings are being moved from the 16th to the next day or... — read more
Light at the end of the tunnel
This sale is a relief. Let’s just move on so we can start being operational again, properly staff and restart having some work life balance. I am really banking on voluntary severance though because I’m done working with people that have 20 years... — read more
Recycled CEO / EMT
Does anyone give any thought to the conflicts of interest when you bring in a CEO and COO from a publicly traded competing company. Both members of our EMT have millions invested in our biggest competitors. We couldn’t bring in fresh talent at the... — read more
Burned by Crown
Contractor pool is getting shallow. Nobody wants to take work from us because they know the $h!t Show that comes with it. The lies from VP Jabba and Darth Ang are catching up and the real workers have to suffer. Everyone has filed a Complaint against... — read more
KB and rapid
Has she gotten her quarterly promotion yet? I haven't seen the announcement.
So what’s with Fiber? Sold or to be sold?
So many rumors, half of which make no sense to me. Anybody having any solid info?
Future of Fiber
There is a rumor that New Frontier Media was interested in acquiring. They are based out of Boulder, Colorado and publicly traded. I had to poke around on their website, but there is a few videos that provide a happy ending to the situation.
Bye Lightower
Thanks for ruining my RSUs, can't say I'm sad to see you go!
Stock drops on zayo sale leak
Interesting to see the price drop immediately after multiple locations report fiber and small cell are both being sold. I guess writing off a +$5b loss on the fiber investments isn't sitting well.
Are you quitting soon too?
Lots of people leaving lately! Who else is planning on quitting soon?
Unification and Positivity
We should be supporting each, not wishing any ill will on other departments or our coworkers. Let’s have peace, love, and purple passion. Just joking, if you have a bad manager or director their but should be kicked out on the street, folks making... — read more
Crown Can’t Compete Anymore
Verizon and Vertical Bridge Seal a 3.3B Deal. 6,339 towers Crown could have had the opportunity to manage, but we chose failing at fiber instead.
Fact or Bull Kr-p
Give me facts on Crown unloading the disastrous Fiber Assets. Hope Crown throws in the sh---y managers from the Tower side as an added bonus.
Crown has sold the fiber business
Crowns EMT has reached out to multiple vendors to start outsourcing all tech positions. Even at the Hub level! The fiber has been sold, announcement late October early November. Hold tight fellow leftovers, it’s going to get petty 4th quarter. Do... — read more

I gave up since the last round of layoffs
I’m just going through the motions. I’ve been consistently avoiding to take on more responsibilities and to invest more energy and time than needed to wrap up my day. I’m making sure to not stay for a moment longer than my regular hours. I do my work... — read more
Cathy is back
This company is continuing to go to sh-t. This is clear indication that the CEO doesn’t care about anything but his paycheck
Quiet Quitting
I am collecting data, please respond if you have decided to quietly quit. Badge swipe in, hang out in the office and do absolutely as little as possible, and collect a direct deposit every two weeks.
Beware remaining Ops techs!!!
They have posted new positions to replace you. “ operations deployment technician” up on the site as we speak.. they are attempting to De skill break fix operations. Don’t teach anyone anything!! Especially the “ops supervisor’s or managers” they... — read more
Cloudy with a chance of a Good Manager
Can anyone help me understand why the worst managers and directors are still at Crown. Human Resources and Business Support does not give a flying flip anymore. The more tenure a male has the more cr-p they can get away with.
Priority TM
Prioritize Trade Management of CCI. It maybe a goodtime to unload the shares you have been clinging to.
Name that buyer!?!?!
Ok folks! Who’s our buyer guesses? Shout ‘em out!

Recalling Employees
Did anyone get anymore details on bringing back employees who were let go in the RIF?
Is stress leave a possibility?
Has anyone here ever taken stress leave? I’m curious about a few things. Firstly, is it unpaid, or can you get something if you see a doctor? Secondly, do you have to visit a doctor in person, or can you just call? I'm at my breaking point and I'd be... — read more
Anyone else swimming in a sea of incompetence?
Use a GC they say…for everything.. unfortunately the GCS can’t do what we do or have access that we do, Now we’re babysitting GC’s and overwhelming them to the point where they have no staff to fulfill our needs.. Most of the staff they do have is... — read more
“Prioritizing and personalizing your self-care”
The summer RIF was a major blow, leaving teammates struggling with stress and anxiety. Yet, their "prioritize your self-care" message feels more like a corporate shrug than a genuine concern. While self-care is important, it feels tone deaf for them... — read more
Update on layoffs
Do we know what's coming next and when?
I’m beginning to regret I wasn’t laid off
After adrenaline went down I turned around and realized that there was nothing to be happy about. Don’t get me wrong - it’s good to still have a job atm given the state of affairs and the outlook. I still wish I was thrown to the wolves and actually... — read more
Verizon buys Frontier for $20b
And people are talking about selling our loss leading assets for $15
As expected, we are still disorganized
Following the last round of layoffs, I expected nothing less but a complete failure in organizing work in my team. For how long will this last? I either work for three people or twiddle my thumbs for hours on end. We can’t reach the usual levels of... — read more

No one wants our failing fiber "business"
Goodbye to many on Aug 30th
Tomorrow Aug 30th is the last day for many. Some deserve to be gone and others do not. Either way, good luck in you new endeavors. There is a life after CC. A company that at one point was good.
Hybrid?
We set to go back into the office four days a week? Bull article about us being a great company on connect. Wonder how much they paid for that to be written.
The West Worst District
Hey Senior Leadership. You need to pull your heads out of your arses asap. Have you noticed that people are quitting weekly in the Phoenix Office? Maybe, just maybe you should ask why... That would take true leader to step up and wonder what could... — read more
I may sound naive
But it took the latest LR to make me realize how much I don’t like my job here anymore. Most people, I think, have a natural need to identify to an extent with their job/profession and by extension a company, and they expect some sense of... — read more
