With all the negativity floating around, I can’t help but wonder if anyone at Crown is still enjoying their job. I understand that layoffs are a constant worry these days, that's simply how it is at most companies. But what about job satisfaction? Is... — read more
Layoffs and severance right before holiday.
Severance check for the holidays will make it better.
Fibernet vs lightower
If CL allowed Fibernet to lead network rather than lightower it would have been more successful.
Hey guys get a load of this
There's some fiber ops tech from NY always complaining that no one else has technical skills. Wonder why apple or Facebook haven't picked him up yet
Dear ops tech
Did you find a union yet? Tell us more about your light levels.
Anyone else been here over ten years?
I feel like with all the fiber talk, there isn't anyone else left who even remembers the old crown.
You don’t want to get stuck here
I've been here for five years, and I feel it's been a complete waste of my time. Every year, the pay basically stays flat, and the benefits keep shrinking. If that's not bad enough, they seem to be focused on pushing out the older employees - the... — read more
Shake n Bake...No more Layoffs
Word is you all are safe from imminent layoffs...buyers are only interested in the employees, not the assets. Keep the purple values strong!
7k Nodes To Be Cancelled
What is our Sale Team doing, is there anyone left that can bid a project?
New message board
So does TPG have a new board the fiber people can go to? We know we've worn out our welcome here and just want to move on to the next company who will try to sell us yet again. I don't know why nobody wants us :(
Its Official MCI
Announcement will be tomorrow, they are assuming all fiber and SCN debts, will build all planned fiber routes, nodes, and agreed to take all the terrible Tower management.
Zayo is offical
We just got the briefing docs for the team meetings. Layoffs still on the table, lists already submitted.
Nothing happening
Told you nothing was being announced! This is it, this is your job. Embrace or not, here you are!
Eating Crow.....
Fiber is strong and staying. Tower people......you are free to cry here. Fiber will always be the way to go. Just don't let tower people run it in the ground.
Iceberg ahead!!!!!
Kathy will sink this ship!!!!!
Is it time to dump CCI
Should I hold or Sale?
Set your alarms for tomorrow peeps!!
Don't forget to look at the mandatory SEC filings Crown has to do before any announcement so it does not trigger a stock swung either way.
Stocks being dump by executives!!!
Lots of SEC filings on massive trades from a lot of executives. Tens of thousands of shares at a time. You know what that means... — read more
EVP Mike kavanaugh has turned in his retirement papers.
Per the SEC filing on September 23rd, Mr. Kavanaugh will leave on October 28th. He also exercised a ton of shares which are also reported on another SEC filing. https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1051470/000105147024000200/cci-20240923.htm
More promotions in Sales?
Gotta love seeing promotions out of now where for people in Sales. Do we really need another VP level person in Fiber, especially given the upcoming sale. Interesting timing.
Do you think getting rid of fiber will solve the issues?
I don’t. Rot has been running deep. We can never really return to what CC was, even with fiber gone and all those employees most of us are in agreement that they have to go, gone. Culture of a company when ruined can never be rebuilt. But what it can... — read more
The Gloves Are Off
People from SFL to PHX, let’s hear what you have to say. Speak now this is a safe place to air our grievances, Fiber and Tower both have a lot of issues and personnel that should have been fired for bad management and stealing a long time ago. We... — read more
Fiber and small cell flash sale?
So what is your prediction for Wednesday's news? Is Crown selling fiber at discount or keeping fiber or small cells? If selling, will they layoffs teams immediately? Lots of Poker faces around the offices lately.
Serious question
What was worse for the culture, Laura Nichol or the fiber acquisitions?
Hope Crown Steps Up
Is Crown going to support Hurricane Victims, when JB was here he was very generous. He even gave $1M of his own money to support the NAACP. Such a very kind and generous gesture.
Angry
Seems like most ppl not in the field just get to be remote now. When will they close all these stupid offices
Florida people, are you okay over there?
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?
