Why is the digital transformation taking so long? Why do we still use all these sluggish systems?

Since the recent EMT call, has anyone been informed what exceptions would allow people to work remotely? As many offices have closed or will not have leases renewed, would mileage be a consideration (>100 miles rt for example)? Not trying to... — read more 

Those who manage but don’t do work love talking about how the office is this magical collaboration circus, where the brilliance of human minds connect like voltron to form Genius. What usually happens is that you can talk to people in person quicker... — read more

Last fall hundreds of employees were let go because the company was called out by Elliot Management for not meeting expectations. Not only did they lose these employees but they also lost a good amount of employees who fled to other companies such... — read more 

Why the Jay hate? Why blame all the problems on jay and the emt?

for anyone that still has stocks in CCI, remember to go vote Jay Brown out and vote no on the board compensation.

Do we have a union?

Here's a thought, since it wasnt the people who are out there everyday delivering for our Customers who decided to go all in on the fiber/small cell strategy, why are they taking the 70% payout hit on their bonuses. Do the right thing and even... — read more 

I would be surprised if Crown Castle was not at least exploring their options as far as selling their fiber assets. It has been a disaster and nobody in the entire company knows how to manage it. Now it would be a good time to move on from their bad... — read more 

Okay, now it seems to me that they want to automate everything that can be automated in this company. So they are willing to invest a lot, pay more to maintain machines / systems that generally have a lower degree of flexibility ... just to get rid... — read more

Crown used to be a great place to work. Before Jay Brown took over I could not imagine working for a better place. That being said, Jay Brown and the current executive management team completely ruined this company. Crown Castle was publically... — read more 

More operational Fiber layoffs in the West. They didn't trim the fat enough before Thanksgiving and wanted to trim 10-30% more staff from Fiber/Network before end of Q4. This news is breaking today.

Straight From Canonsburg Pennsylvania (HQ) Layoffs about 75 Manager's will be let go after the realignment is completed and all departments are back in full operational. This is supposed to be closed lip- They have a leak and I'm getting a lot of... — read more 

Will be announced on all hands tomorrow. Sales VP of Analytics will be taken over. Hard to find someone who did a worse job then current VP. Destroyed culture, spent millions, utterly clueless.

Did anyone over 40 receive a list of impacted employees showing age and department as required by law?

Why is Laura Nichols still employed by Crown Castle?! She is the main reason why the company is so terrible. She has no sense of leadership and serves no sympathy when it comes to employees. She thinks that everyone can just be replaced, her and her... — read more

In any line of work, you’re never safe especially in these unfortunate times. While it’s not ideal, it’s nice that Crown has provided a severance package that at least gets you by for 2 months + depending on your tenure. It doesn’t hurt to have your... — read more

I am going to make this quick. I’ve got roughly 35 years in the industry and was hoping I could remain with Crown (14 years) until I was able to retire. Well it doesn’t look that way. I don’t know if I am able to start over with another company... — read more

After the 406 layoffs yesterday, and the remaining employees and contractors being told their jobs were safe. More contract employees are getting calls and being laid off today in Fiber. It is an absolute bloodbath.

250 full-time employees and 150 contractors in Small Cell and Fiber. A lot of upper management positions were given the option of a severance or a demotion with a pay cut. Wish other employees had that option. If you didn’t get laid off in this round... — read more

I'm sure more will be announced if not before the end of the year, then in the first quarter of 2021. Don't be naive to think you're safe just because you survived this round.

The majority today 11/19 were contractors on the fiber side. Mostly South Florida. SDS was surprisingly left unscathed. Meeting tomorrow morning to probably announce more cuts.

Something like 8 weeks of pay plus 1 week per year of employment plus 50% of your bonus, no RSU. PTO payout of up to 120 hours. They touched on it quickly so that may not be exact but it's close.
