Here it is…The first week of June and a quick look at the career section of Crowns website shows eight openings…split between half in Houston and the other half in Canonsburg. Nothing in the field…nothing remote. Any chance at a lateral move out of... — read more
Why are you still here?
Why are you still here at Crown?
Thanks for the sc--w job Crown
Only time will tell, but no one has a good feeling about Zayo
Non-Compete
Anyone have issues with moving on to another telecom role after the last layoff due to having signed a non-compete document when we started at Crown? Is Crown going after folks saying that they have voided their severance agreement because of voiding... — read more
Layoff
Now that the sale has been completed and continued work load being taken off the field force is another layoff of the field in the plans
SiteSafe
Is SiteSafe still up in Virginia with all of that "talent"?
CCIC at it again?
They cut me in 2002 one month before my daughter was due. As an RF Engineer I tried to explain to them that the carriers have their own engineers and that marketing the towers to them wouldn't work. They already knew where they needed towers. I... — read more
Bonus
Anyone hear anything on when we will get the retention bonus now that the sale is through?
Reorg
Now that the divestiture is completed, when do you think reorg will occur? Titles are all over the place. And do you think reorg will include layoffs? I noticed small layoffs here and there of long time contractors.
Farewell, Friends
Well, the time has come. It’s the last night of the Crown Castle nightmare that has been the lives of those of us in the perimeter. I’ve lived through Covid, several RIFs, the lineup of C-suiters that have exited (one took her broom with her), the... — read more
Exempt/NonExempt Change for FE and CM
Change announced as of 4/27/2026 @ 1:00pm EST Our departmental groups have been chatting about this potential since the beginning but the info finally dropped. That group is just but one of the many departments being squeezed to absolute death with... — read more
Layoffs before the close?
Any bets?
Hollow Words and Heavy Workloads: The Reality of "Crown 2.0"
As a long-time employee watching our recent executive communications, I am genuinely terrified for the future of this company. We are being fed a steady diet of corporate buzzwords that sound impressive but mean absolutely nothing to the people doing... — read more
New Regional Reorg
There is a significant concern across the teams regarding the lack of bottom-up input in this new structure. From the conversations I’m having, there is near-zero buy-in because the workload and structure don't seem to reflect our operational... — read more
There's been no follow-up in my team since the layoffs
Nobody's acknowledged the people we lost, and the workload is crushing. The manager isn't even trying. It's not just the volume, there are critical gaps. Even if we wanted to pick up the slack, there are some things we simply can't do.
Beaten to the Punch
Looks like SBA is beating Crown to the punch by exploring a sale.
Org chart Zayo and Arium
Have they published an org chart for Arium and Zayo? Is tower team allowed to see it?
Tone Deaf
One of the funniest things I’ve ever witnessed in corporate America happened last week. Our tone deaf executives stood in front of a room and shared a half a**ed set of things we should care about. Then instead of making their “I will” statements... — read more
MM leaving Is this real… or are we being pranked again?
Serious question: is this an actual leadership change… or just another episode of “nothing to see here, carry on”? Because if you’ve been here longer than five minutes, you’ve seen this headline before. Big announcement. Big promises. Same results. ... — read more
Drowning PC’s
Are they really expecting each PC to handle ALL the financials for every customer going forward starting next month? I’m drowning with one as it is. A job isn’t worth this much stress.
Experience doesn't matter anymore
The culture has shifted dramatically in the last two years. Managers with zero experience are making decisions that make no sense. You're not allowed to question anything or suggest better ways. The culture has turned from bad to worse. Every day I'm... — read more
Wednesday Mandatory Attendance Call
Could someone share what’s on the agenda or what main topics we’ll be covered during Wednesday’s mandatory all‑hands call? I’d like to know what to expect so I can be prepared ahead of time.
So we have had two tentative close dates yet no confirmed compensation packages
No LTI replacement yet? Really? Employee first? Employee focus? When was the last update? So are they laying off at close with these delayed announcements? Fun morale booster.
Post Sale
May 1st will be a new beginning and fresh start for fiber. Arium & Zayos paths are uncertain but they have a future good or bad. Crown however, is damaged and the trust has been broken every Crown employee will be looking over his or her shoulders... — read more
Polishing the Crown
Crown Castle was something once beautiful and admired, now placed on a shelf with a price tag that no one bothers to read. The brightest jewels that once gave it life and purpose have long since been taken away and discarded, leaving only a dull... — read more
New reorg/layoffs
Any active rumors of a reorg or layoffs? I know they said no more layoffs but I don’t trust them? Only people with real knowledge please reply
The hiring wait
Can someone please explain why it takes half a year to fill a job here? I don't understand the delay.
Yes Men Continue To Survive
Directors that say yes to every request from VPs no matter how ridiculous or last minute the ask continue to survive. They have their head so far up the VPs a$$ hoping to advance their own career with no regard to their team. Truly a good ole boys... — read more
Faith in EQT
Does anyone actually have good feeling about this takeover this whole operational readiness is turning out to be a operational disaster month
AI Governance? We Can’t Even Govern a Meeting Agenda.
So apparently, throwing darts are the new operating model. Town hall highlight of the year: Head of IT + CFO confidently announce that “No other companies have figured out AI governance… but we will.” The silence afterward? You could hear a budget... — read more
Horrible place to work
We have to deal with extremely poor management, and you have to belong to their circle, or they turn your life into a living he-l! Don't get me started on so many gossips going on behind the close door. You're expected to know everything and do... — read more
Purple Stock Award????
When will we find out if the Board approved the Purple Stock award for 2025?!?
Ba--s To The Wall
We need some help in the field we have been cut down to a skeleton crew and my manager is non-existent.
Return to office
Us together is better. We must return to the office to increase collaboration. Whoever created the new seating assignments didn't make any effort to keep teams together. Collaboration with anyone BUT your own team. What a joke and an embarrassment... — read more
Missing final paycheck
According to the severance agreement I was supposed to get my final paycheck today but it has yet to hit my bank. Is anyone else missing their final paycheck to?
The Role of Elliott
I wonder how it may have turned out for Crown if Mr Paul Elliott Singer had not reared his head.
Caring for Each Other in These Extremely Challenging Times
As I read these posts, I feel deep concern for both current and former teammates. I want to gently remind everyone that if you’re facing something difficult or need support, you can reach out to the Ethics Alert Line. It’s managed by an independent... — read more
DD Townhall and emotions
It's so lame both leaders are not even making eye contact. RA doesn't want to talk about his demotion. Hopefully, they are finding a replacement to consolidate all compliance departments.
Severance, retirement and Medicare
Just had a talk with my adviser about this whole voluntary layoff thing….With me I am so close to 65, I plan to get out of telecomm and pick up a mediocre part time job to cushion the loss of CC funds. Come to find out the upcoming deposit of my... — read more
Towers quarter zip leadership
Just trust what this leadership team tells you. Look past the quarter-zip smiles and forced enthusiasm and you will see a mountain of corporate spin. CP called out “incredible collaboration” this week...People at desks were not collaborating they... — read more
