If any big wigs come on here and have any insight on the sale and if it’s going to affect employees, please share. People’s families are at sake.

During the town hall meeting yesterday, it was announced no more cutbacks. We’re all in the clear.

Why hasn't CL gotten the boot over rapid yet?

I was laid off last round. I found a new job quite fast after I was booted, and I like it much better. It pays better, but more importantly, is more enjoyable and I actually get to have a life. And no, I’m nothing special, my resume is not... — read more

How’s everyone holding up in the West? Heard there’s been a lot of change to the teams.

Now that the sale is off the table, what happens to the fiber business? We know small cell is wrapping up but something has to happen with the fiber customers.

Does anyone still have any motivation to get anything done?

Since the first rif I’ve felt lost and uneasy. What does everything think the future will look like for the company at the end of this year? As of today, I was one of the “lucky” one’s kept on and as a reference, I work the small cells side in the... — read more 

On how to f-up a great Business Model and destroy a great employee focused culture.

Ok folks, behave. I’m sick of the victim blaming. Of those that are stuck here, most have a good reason: family situation, hard time finding a job because they are in a niche role, in a common job but the market has been repeatedly flooded due to the... — read more

I’m wondering about your experience with looking for a new job. I decided to take a small break before I plunge into the nightmare of job search. It unnerves me a bit that all I hear is that people have trouble with landing a new job. Anybody had a... — read more 

If Lumen, a fiber company with far worse financials than Crown Fiber, can get a bail out from Microsoft while we get sold, then boy does that show how terrible the EMT and CL are

The EMT get richer at the expense of all the workers in the trenches and those who have or will get laid off. https://www.investing.com/news/company-news/crown-castle-evp--coo-sells-over-11m-in-company-stock-93CH-3535099
