I heard from someone who went to Arium that they had layoffs last week. How are the Zayo folks doing? Are we thinking more Crown layoffs? Raise your hand if you are tired of this.......

So what is happening is construction is slowing almost to a halt and the only thing that is steady and that has been steady is operations/ brake fix.. so they are attempting to merge construction and operations together. That way when there’s no construction, the construction people can attempt to take over operations still have a job. My new managers and supervisors are directors and managers of network construction. They know absolutely nothing about what we do, but are continually asking us to teach them what we do for collaboration sake, but they have no interest in teaching us what they do which is basically play on spreadsheets all day long…lol Good effing luck with that.
@15t agreed. And what’s with these former employees contributing on here? They must not have enough work in their new jobs and will likely be cut when that company figures it out. Karma is a B.
@10v your poetry is suspect. Also, if you are a person who decided to enjoy former colleagues of yours being out of a job, it says more about you being a d**b than it ever does about them and their decision to stay put.
It is fascinating how quickly the tides turns.
Not long ago, a select few were chosen to sail away on a "golden voyage to Arium Land", casting disdaining looks at those of us being handed lifejackets.
Fast forward today; those of us who were cut have successfully found new, stable harbors to call home. Meanwhile, that exclusive voyage has hit choppy waters, and the "chosen ones" are suddenly finding themselves in the exact same boat, or perhaps, right off it.
Corporate favor is fleeting. It is always important to treat your colleagues with respect, because the professional wheel keeps spinning. You never truly know when the captain will decide to resize the crew, or whose turn it will be next.
@ax Arium just as CCI small cells, business model is (was) burdened by excessive administrative overhead and long runway to profitability. They need to right-size headcount by consolidating top-heavy management roles and scaling up frontline implementation teams. But they will never, they are not going to hand out pink slips to the boys club. That is what is sinking the ship.
@nc it’s pretty funny bc I know people who were dying to get to arium bc they thought Zayo would fire everyone
@be I know what you’re trying to say. It has nothing to do with the CIOs attributes and all to do with the cheaper approach of outsourcing to cheaper countries. Besides, it’s not like people are clamoring to hire most of these IT resources.
@kf true for crown and arium still nothing known for Zayo which is interesting because we all believed they would be the first to lay off
@jv they did for sure
Is this false rumors regarding Arium? How about Zayo? Any layoffs?
CCI is the one who did Arium dirty. IYKYK
@hy they did you guys dirty making you wait weeks
Across all depts, ~100 heads, ~15% of total headcount will be gone in a few weeks.
@be what does this even mean?
@ax which departments were affected?
lol were there really layoffs. That ceo talked so much sh-t about how he is buying the people and the people make this business.
With respect to Arium, It is reverse uhm...not allowed to say. Arium is keeping enough OWG to not have that reverse word but with a specific CIO, it is all H1B and offshore. I don't like the orange hair man but I thought he was at least going to do something about this. There are a lot of knowledgeable people in across the board going.
Yep layoffs all over at Arium, just like the crown days they still can’t solve getting new work from the carrier
Small cell is a dying business
