How is severance taxed?

Stupid question. Wondering how severance is taxed when I receive it after my final day in August. Is it the same as our biweekly pay? Does anyone know? I hope it's not like our bonus which taxes so much TIA

Prioritize your own career growth

Absolutely. This has been part of the strategic plan from the beginning. The cancellation of the Houston, TX move doesn’t mean everything is smooth sailing. The leadership anticipated that not everyone would relocate, making it easier to downsize... — read more 

Not new behavior for the "new" CEO of Crown Castle

I acknowledge people grow and learn from their mistakes. That said, the deep and impactful RIF strategy of Steven Moskowitz is nothing new to his leadership style. As the leader of ATC, he enacted the same strategy and cut office after office... — read more 

Conshocken

Just wondering about the overall moral and experience and the fancy new office in conshohocken, pa.

But wait, there is more ..

If you review our operating models and positions post-RIF, you'll see a lot of redundancy and panic, especially among those who are ineffective but since no one had goals or measurements life was great. Now same people trying to prove their value... — read more

Looking for a new job…

How does Crown expect us to give 100% and continue to work through all these changes going on. My boss loves to micromanage and he su-ks. Crown should look into letting go of all higher ups and save some money there. Furthermore, How ironic they flew... — read more 

My team can’t keep up

We lost a lot of high performers in this LR who were, frankly, a backbone of our group. Mgmt is useless, they can’t adjust to a new situation if their life depended upon it. Half the time we are organizing work by ourselves. And we really, really... — read more 

Future RSU Balance

Has anyone that was able to keep any future RSUs after the first round notice their future balance now shows $0?

Houston havoc

I’ll take the yearly snowfalls of Southpoint over what is happening in Houston right now…somebody is looking over us for sure.

Looking forward to next week

Can’t wait to deal with the fallout from gutting my team. I mean, the more time passes, it’s getting worse. Good job, mgmt!

Sooo?

I really don’t know how to do this? I am one of the “lucky” still here and report to someone in a higher role, but I have zero drive to do anything to assist. I have lost my dedication to the company , unfortunately the RIF is showing my teams true... — read more 

Office

They gonna let us enter expense reports for fan purchases since the office is so hot. ? Why is the office so dang hot right now!

Laura Nichol and Pittsburgh

I’ve always heard a rumor about a podcast from before she was at Crown, where she talked about how much she hated the city of Pittsburgh. Is there any truth to that, and if so, who’s got the link to the podcast? All I could find was a super cringy... — read more 

It’s depressing

With so many people gone, it’s chaotic and, frankly, sad. It all just seems so directionless and pointless. I am sick and tired of working in places which are in a downward spiral. Work is a very big part of our lives (too big, if you ask me), and... — read more 

Are you busy?

Lots of folks on here say “we’re over worked”, “I’m doing X jobs”, “we’re given too much without the resources”. Where is this happening in the company? NOC? Provisioning? I&O? Genuinely curious as most offices are empty, people genuinely don’t seem... — read more 

Severances

Are any parts of the business accepting volunteers and offering any severance?

Thank God

Looking forward to being sold and getting away from incompetent leadership. Our new CEO thinks he's a superstar. Won't shake hands with anyone. His worker bees are not worth it. His expensive suit and shoes are my mortgage.

“Incredibly Poor Management “

I am a current Crown Castle employee. That was something that I use to be proud of. Now I am embarrassed to say that I work there. I saw a bunch of amazing people who were loyal employees walked out of the door last week and other incredible people... — read more

Severance

For awareness. It may be illegal for them to force you to sign documents for severance payments. Essentially, it may be illegal for Crown to force you to sign rights away for severance... — read more 

Stock price

The stock just seems to keep falling. Are investors not happy with the changes being made?

Wake up People - Levendos

This is a floundering ship under the guidance of CL and his DEI leaders. Button up resumes and start looking, plenty out there. The guy destroyed Google Fiber and others. We have no future under him and his cronies. Get out.

DEI

Was the DEI talk just in Network? In Towers, leadership rarely mentioned diversity aside from those discussion cards. A lot of folks at Crown have been here for 10-20 years, so maybe they don’t realize that many Fortune 500 companies have affinity... — read more 

Workload doubled, as expected

Why should I work now for people who have been fired this round? It’s not like this place has a future and me in it. All I can expect after years of hard work and dedication is to be laid off on a dime, like many other talented and good people we’ve... — read more 

Laid Off - Severance Email?

Has anyone received their email about their severance? We were told it be sent to our personal email on Friday but as of today I have received nothing. Curious if I’m the only one.

Expectations

So most of us still employed are now operating at skeletal level. People leaders from a Director level are now expecting everyone to work above and beyond their pay grade even though new reorg kept people who are dead weight. If I am expected to... — read more 

I can't shake it

I hate this feeling. I'm such a hard worker naturally and I'm thankful to still have my job for now I guess...but now I don't want to go in... dont want to bust my a-s like I have been for over a decade. I don't want to be here but I can't find... — read more 

Can someone ask this on the CL call on Tues

What can you say to employees to inspire/motivate them in times of layoffs, force relo to only being pulled back, forced hub strategy only to be reworked and then pulled, multiple reorgs, more layoffs, slowdown in expansion, and sale of part of the... — read more 

Next week

Any chances of more layoffs next week?

How are you holding up, guys?

I’m still here but exhausted from anxiety and stress induced by anticipation. I’m also very sad from watching people leaving, some of whom I’ve known well and I’m well aware of the consequences losing a job will have on them and their families. How... — read more 

Just mad

I am just so freaking mad at how my group and myself were treated. Unfortunately, reading anonymous, untrustworthy comments does not really help anything.

Let's Hear It For PURPLE!

Updates, pls!

This is shaping up to be a major bloodbath. And a lot of good, experienced people are leaving, from what I can see.

BE POSITIVE

Look at the positive, the shareholders will continue to get better dividends. No one cares about the people actually doing the work. Its all about greed and how much more money the execs can get. They need new boats and beach houses. How else are... — read more
