Thread regarding Crown Castle International Corp. layoffs

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 watching our managers play Roblox. And for what? No promotions, no chances to move up, no growth. Oh sorry, I forgot about the Go Texan party. Thanks for the bone.

It feels like being stuck in an abusive relationship, always hearing "things will change," but they never do. We're just here, stuck because of all the sweat and tears we've put in and they are the ones holding on to the cash and have the keys to the car. The economy is cr-p right now and the job market is worse.

Can we go back to the old B3’s and Be Real: Are things actually going to get better? Will we get to see it happen? Or are you stringing us along until this thing is finally done?

Why don’t you just leave

We haven't received anything formal on a retention bonus because that binds them legally. Fact is the job market su-ks so there's not much risk for them of enough people leaving to cause an issue. Retention bonuses are for when there is significant risk of failure due to a mass exodus. That doesn't exist right now nor is it likely over the next year. If there are retention bonuses it will be case by case.

They're not required to give any of us severance or retention bonuses. Keep that in mind. They may well do it case by case for people turning in notice.

@bx yup then they RIF us before the deal closes to avoid paying out the “Retention Incentive Bonus”. That we still have yet to receive anything formal on.

Network was removed from the financials. Thats why there balance sheet, cash flow statements, & income statements are a hot mess.

They are going to string you along till a month before the sale. The earliest would be end of 2025. Network is still on the books so they need you focused on making every penny. Why this new or shocking. Expect a lot of fluff and praise for the hard work you do.
