Thread regarding Crown Castle International Corp. layoffs

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 forced move and then backtrack, offices shuttered, and now a 2.5 year long divestiture process. Heck, I’m beat.

I’m under no illusions that the new company will be perfect…far from, but I’m not going to troll this page anymore. I’m sure I’ll hear about it over drinks with my old Crown friends, but I won’t be active on here anymore.

I’m proud of the work that my friends (maybe even some of you) and I accomplished, despite the mismanagement, craziness, and fear of what’s next. We still did a fantastic job with what we were given. I’m going to miss a lot of people, but I’m sure everyone will be just fine wherever they end up.

For those going to Arium, good luck on starting over with the dedicated company focus that you always deserved.

Zayoites, good luck on an established organization that has pet insurance!

For my Crown 2.0 generation, when the Colonel sends out his email tomorrow, announcing the dawning of the new Crown, hang in there. You’ve outlived how many CEOs? I’m sure many of you will outlive this one…unless he sells the company, which is entirely possible.

Why would I ever leave Crown? Ever since Covid, I work about three hours a day in my pajamas, smoke re---r all day, and get over $200K in salary, AI, and RSU’s…. Meanwhile, I still work circles around my co-workers, hit all my KPI’s, and have my manager convinced I am an exceeds employee. I am sticking around until Towers gets sold or I get a severance.

You won’t hear it over drinks from crown friends. Once you leave you won’t be friends with them anymore they were people you were paid to hangout with.

@a5 Press release 30-60 minutes before the market opens tomorrow morning. You’ll log in to your computers and see what’s next.

Arium will welcome their new people on our new laptops.
Zayo will welcome their new people…excuse me…Zayoites
Colonel will send a celebratory note that the Castle gets to liquidate the dead weight to become the world’s most profitable best-in-class purest of pure play tower company.

PS: With that announcement will come the first of many morning mandate:

Friday, May 1st 2026

Sentiment is Overhead: If you miss your former colleagues, do it on your own time. Empathy is not a core competency and it has been divested accordingly.

Could you give some insight on what to expect?

Also, the best of luck to you! I’m working on leaving the Titanic as well.
