Can anyone confirm if remote employees will still need to relocate to an area office. The office in my market closed and I must say I am exited with the future opportunity to relocate to an office.

@1v1 thanks for the clarification
Houston, we have a problem...expect to move the company back to Houston as JB wanted to do in the past. No more hybrid. Some roles will be remote as always before it was even considered remote. Field work or back end work that don't need offices that would just waste the company money...
They are going to avoid paying severance to tower folks so either move or elect to leave.
Zayo and Atrium deal needs to get done so CH can initiate CCI 2.0
That announcement for Towers initiative needs to happen Before a closing date!
CCI stock is just ridiculous. Investors need a shell shock of an announcement.
Let's hope those perimeter folks truly land a job in their new companies since that isn't 100% known yet...who knows where all those folks are going with all the office closures Crown had nationwide. $8.5billion didn't include (closed) offices...yikes I wonder how many resources were in those closed offices?
Good luck to us all.
@fd Core goals of CCI include productivity, profitability, performance, promoting a positive work culture, and the ongoing improvement of CCI as a whole.
Simple google searches for “Does RTO improve performance for (insert department/role) employees” up to extensive research on the topic of RTO by industry/role will show there is a vast difference within organizations when defining strengths and weaknesses of RTO by role/position/department/job duties, especially post-COVID.
Example: A salesperson, marketer, or a c-level individual may be more productive with RTO as these roles communicate, present, and research customer facing content; but other positions, in particular 100% computer/system dependent roles with projects that can require time outside of the general 9-5 shifts, perform at much higher levels if they WFH, especially with a structured communication tool such as MS Teams.
Researching RTO by position/department as described above confirms this statement in most, if not every, case.
@zy remote work didn’t cause the issues, leadership incompetence did. Office chairs don’t fix bad strategy, poor decisions, or managers who mistake visibility for value that went out in the 1950’s.
@fd all the people downvoting this must be remote 🤣 get your butts back in the office
@OP bottom line, Crown Castle as a company, su-ks. no other way about it. Can't wait to get the f out. those CC employees that hated the fiber group can keep this rolling ball of cr-p.
Whatever direction our leadership decides to take on remote employees I am sure it will be a positive well intentioned plan. As I recount in a phased approach when I returned to the office it offered me a great sense of belonging and team camaraderie. If you are remote I am sure your Teammates would love to have you back in the office to collaborate and build strong relationships.
@ej amazing
Serious question: if we’re forced back into the office, do they offer training on keeping a straight face while leadership confidently explains things they clearly don’t understand? Asking for a friend. Possibly in IT.
RTO is inevitable… it is their way of getting people to quit without giving them a severance.
If performance/staffing/resource allocation is a problem, the solution is not RTO. RTO doesn’t solve anything, especially with modern IT organizations post-Covid.
The solution is to be open, honest, and work towards finding and resolving the problems. Goal setting, collaboration, teamwork. Being smart about your people, your systems, and your work. Prioritize, complete, review, improve, repeat.
Basic management 101 stuff. It isn’t rocket science.
Maybe a better question would be this: Why doesn’t CCI leadership & personnel who think RTO is a viable solution trust their people/team/staff/departments? Can’t they think of anything else to do to improve anything? Maybe those people are the problem that need to be solved.
More will come out after the sale in the first quarter. I expect them to release some sort of change by then.. Crown 2.0!!
In the last all-hands they said no changes or disruptions to the current hybrid system but there may be a RTO in the future. If you really want to work in an office, you should probably make your own plans to relocate. Being how expensive it is to pay for employee relocations, I highly doubt you will get relo'd to an office as part of a RTO anytime soon. Crown has changed it's mind many times about remote work and this will be no different, until the next CEO inevitably comes in.
