Thread regarding Crown Castle International Corp. layoffs

SEC Filing

Some relevant quotes from the 8-K filed the evening of the 18th:

"MANAGEMENT CHANGES
Additionally, Crown Castle announced today that Mr. Schlanger, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will depart the company effective
March 31, 2024. "Dan has been a valuable member of our executive leadership team and has made significant contributions over his seven years with the
company," said Mr. Brown. "Dan has been integral to our strategy and the growth of our business, built a strong finance organization, and improved our balance
sheet with long-dated maturities. I wish him well in his next endeavors." Crown Castle will begin a search for Mr. Schlanger's replacement. The search will
include both internal and external candidates."

"Restructuring Plan Update

• Crown Castle has undertaken a significant effort to simplify, streamline and centralize our business processes and operations to reduce our long-term costs and
improve our customers’ experience, the beginning of which was the restructuring plan we announced in July 2023. Annual run rate savings from that
restructuring plan are expected to be $105 million, comprised of $30 million of anticipated savings in 2023, $35 million of expected savings in 2024, and $40
million of expected savings included in the 2024 Outlook for services margin.
• In addition to the previously announced restructuring plan, Crown Castle plans to relocate approximately 1,000 employee positions from several locations
nationwide to a centralized location by the end of the third quarter 2024. Crown Castle intends to continue to maintain local offices across the United States to
support its customers' deployment activities. Additional long-term cost savings and related restructuring charges, which may be significant, are expected from
the expanded consolidation but not included in the full year 2024 Outlook. The additional anticipated cost savings and related restructuring charges will be
provided as they become available."

Fact is it'd be easier to move Houston to Pittsburgh than vice versa. The EMT doesnt want to uproot themselves.

This was once an AMAZING company to work for. It started going sideways the day they started purchasing failing fiber companies, and putting their people in leadership roles. They destroyed a company and what once was the best culture of any company I’ve ever worked for. This entire executive team needs to be terminated! Not to mention all those RSU’s that they give you are pretty much worthless. Way to ki-l it Jay!

So that’s what a technical write up on breaking it off in 1000 people looks like, got it. Well done clowns, I am sure this is the mage that gets you back to respectability and retains all your best talent.

Why yes! I’m totally going to move to Houston for a company that let me find out I’m moving to Houston on a message board at midnight!

Schlanger was, and is, an incompetent id--t, with no understanding of the industry.

I'm guessing they're only planning on 20 or 30 people to move for sure. High level. The rest are just meh offers to look good and cover transition. If you are lower and take it I wouldn't plan on being there long. They'll use you for transition and then bye bye.

They're going for a fresh start and aren't going to keep people w baggage.

They've probably had people in the buildings for months watching and analyzing. Probably w some stupid code name.

The relocation is a way lay people off without calling it a layoff. Who’s willing to get out their low interest mortgage into an 8% mortgage in Houston?

They are probably expecting at least 300 people to take the severance and not move.

Seems that number of 1,000 employees is off by about 300 people... (1300)... But DS and the SEC never really did get along.
