Thread regarding Crown Castle International Corp. layoffs

Lol, yep!

Ok dg or is it ep?

Bashing people who did not lose their job will not get you yours back. Thanks.

You all that got cut this time think this is unique to you? Every person who lost their job since Covid said the exact same thing. They all said Crown kept the wrong employees. The reality is, there hasn’t been any clear reason to who stays and who goes. It’s probably a combination of a few things like someone’s cheaper salary for instance. When the cuts happen again later this year those people will also say Crown kept the wrong employees, but I bet they outsource entire departments then. The bottom line is that a bunch of people lost their jobs for no particular reason. Saying you deserved to be kept instead of someone else is d-mb. Sh-t happen, get over it.

Of the 20 or so people I know that were let go, there was really only one that I thought was a big mistake. I have a suspicion she would have wound up totally remote, and therefore wouldnt fit the return to office mandate. So it's probably either that you were expendable, an underperformer, or not near one of the offices that people are going to be forced to return to.

Crown has had twice as many employees as it needs for a long time, unfortunately. Just because you want to cosplay tech company, with bloated agile practices and "digital transformation" doesn't mean you automatically reap profits and valuations of a tech company.

Leadership are leftovers from better days and we continue to let them make decisions. Our competitors will not be worried and customers won’t be excited. We continue to make more problems for ourselves.

@at they totally picked from a hat and the ones that get on their nerves because no business logic was applied at all kind of proving the point for as small as we are and don’t pretend we are or we’re big, you shouldn’t be that removed that you made decisions this badly!

@a8 initials? Dept? Are they still with the company?

I don’t get the sense that there was any rhyme or reason. I saw some amazing employees leave today, and also some real a--holes. A lot of these cuts seem like they were made at a level removed from even knowing who the employees were. Like they just had a number and cut on some random metric (locations maybe?). Saying they targeted certain types of people gives them too much credit.

I survived. I know I work hard. But survivors guilt is real not knowing why I made it through.

@ag Lingchi

I disagree. You sound miserable. Plenty of doers & yes people impacted unfortunately. Grow up though crybaby

Everyone shall go to the Glassdoor page and leave negative reviews en masse and label CC as Layoff City. DO IT!

I got paid to stop working for a psychopath today. Today was a good day

@a6 the epic data imposter replaced by another data imposter, why hire someone who knows what they are doing or the topic at all that’s just craziness 😂

Can't give names but how about some titles?

Honestly I saw the biggest brown nosers walking out today and was shocked. Idk what you’re talking about

@a3 this one was more blatant

Finally? Been happening across a span of three CEOs.
