As the deadline to exit CCI with a PTO cashout looms, do you know anyone taking advantage of it to leave Crown with money in hand? What have you heard in your neck of Crown? Are you satisfied with the life you're living?
Whats going on with NJ/PA/DE district?
Whats going on with the NJ/PA/DE district? We have lost all leadership over last few month and now the DM has moved on? anyone herd something? we our now left with zero fiber leadership. is it time to leave?
Layoffs in Network Construction
Ran into our district director today. He mentioned that TMO is expected to notify Crown that they're reducing the forecast for small cells going on air in 23 because of supply chain issues by as much as 40%. Separately, since Dish prefers using ILECs... — read more
Talking Until We’re Purple in the Face
How was that for a tone-deaf company conversation? Didn’t address any submitted questions, esp. the talent drain en masse. Instead, we were treated to the latest in sloganeering and focus group slop. But forget all that. Let’s go color in our... — read more
CCI General Counsel Got Canned
Crown’s top attorney Ken Simon is out. This can’t be a good sign for the company’s future.
I don't want to do all that work anymore
As long as the majority of remaining employees continue to put their heads in the sand and keep on doing work for two or more people, nothing will change for the better here. Just my 2 cents.
Massive layoffs have begun
All hands call this afternoon to announce. 6-week severance and immediate loss of all benefits.
Where's that guy who used to say we're doing great? Answered!
I’ve been busy but I’m still here. Since the time of the post asking where I was and today, Crown stock has recovered as expected considering the wider market conditions. As far as Crown debt, most of our loans have a fixed interest rate, the prime... — read more
There are ways to save money other than layoffs
Crown is going to save a ton of money by reducing raises and short term incentives and replacing it with long term incentives that don’t fully vest for 3 years. We had a team call today and our VP showed up out of nowhere. We talked about this... — read more
I don't believe there'll be no layoffs
I think they're just trying to placate us and make sure we're not asking too many questions. Think about it. The economy is in the crappers and a recession is near guaranteed, everybody and their grandma are laying people off and in all of that... — read more
New Comp and Benefit plan
Well, they have done it. Let’s see how Laura Nichol is going to put lipstick on this pig. Let’s watch as she smiles that Botox face and says “instead of pay increases, you’re going to get more RSUs. Yey!” What this really means is they are pushing... — read more
Turnover has never been higher
This looks almost like a mass exodus to me. Attrition doesn't seem to be slowing down at all. Is Crown finally going to do something about this exodus of most talented people, stop it or try to slow it down at least?
Can we please self-correct?
Most of what I see on this site are valid concerns with the direction we have been heading towards as a company and the unfortunate change in our culture. However, having the hybrid schedule in jeopardy because people aren’t willing to come in three... — read more
Where's that guy who used to say we're doing great?
Who said our stock was doing amazing and beating the Dow average? I wonder if he still thinks so, now that our stock continues to drop with no indication of slowing down any time soon? Now that is at its lowest in three years? I wonder if he can... — read more
Hybrid compliance percentage
Wonder when the EMT is going to start terms for non-compliance for three days a week in the office?
Rumored October layoffs
Do we know what's going on with the rumored October layoffs? I haven't heard anything yet and I'm not sure if I should take it as a good thing or if I should be worried that it's just the calm before the storm. Is there any chance somebody knows... — read more
Question
A couple of my teammates were moved from their position on the tower side of the business to a position in small cell. They did not have a say in the matter, they were reassigned by management. From what I understand, this has happened to several... — read more
Hurricane Ian
How are you guys doing in SW Florida? Hoping everybody made it through safely.
Are they clueless or what?
I am totally disappointed with what CCI has become. Upper management - do they even know what they are doing? I am reluctant to say that someone is incompetent, but it really seems to me that they have lost control and that they do not care at all... — read more
CCI stock is down 30% from all time high.
CCI Stock is trading around $146.60 as of 9/29/2022 10:18 AM CST. The ATH is $209.86. This means we are down over 30% from our ATH. This is just the beginning. There are a bunch of European "issues" to say the least. When the Euro falls, our... — read more
Central Region VP - Perez
any way leadership wakes up and sees the mistake making him VP? He’s in over his head. Anyone who sits in mtg with him knows what I’m talking about. Hes Clueless about the work. Manages with a big intimidation stick. Moral down the toilet... — read more
Post deleted
The post about the central region VP wasn’t even up for 24 hours before it was deleted. I can see why people fear retribution. Other executives have been named in other posts that haven’t been deleted but those are still up. I highly doubt these post... — read more
Fibernet, aka Crown Castle
The destruction of the world wide known Crown Castle culture is complete. Not only has Fibernet infected the once amazingly beautiful CCI culture but now they have resorted to driving out disabled veterans. The once veteran loving company now seeks... — read more
Poll: do you trust jay brown
I don’t know how to put up a poll but I’d like to see a show of hands for how many people trust jay brown and the EMT. A simply yes or no will suffice.
Some of you just don’t get it
We work for a well run company. You say all the talents are gone but the stock is still beating the Dow average. We raised the earning expectations. We’re hiring like crazy and despite what people are saying here, there hasn’t been any mass... — read more
There are almost no talents left
I had the opportunity to work with some of the most knowledgeable people and learn a lot from them. It's terrible that they all left this place a long time ago. What is the long-term plan for this company if there are almost no talents left, and... — read more
How are you all doing?
Just wondering how my fellow team members are doing amid skyrocketing rent costs, $6/gal gas, Covid cases on the rise, the highest inflation rates since 1981, etc. These are crazy times. How are you all doing?
Management needs to work harder on retaining talent
We are losing too many people who are taking a good chunk of institutional knowledge with them. We're already having issues with this, some processes are taking much longer than they should. If people continue leaving at this rate, the company will... — read more
Double standard
How come executives get to work remote as a covid precaution without a positive test or symptoms? They don't want to potentially expose each other's families to an annoying cold but us bottomfeeders have to show up week after week to see people... — read more
Resignation 2.0
Has anyone noticed the second-wave exoducs of longtime Crown employees in their departments? Ever since the office return, it seems its accelerated greatly. How are things in you rneck of the woods?
Off Cycle Raises
What do you make? What is your role? Please post in the new pay grade format like P1 - $XX/hr I'll start - CEO - 18 mil in... — read more
Thanks thelayoff.com
I was offered an “off cycle” pay raise because of this site. I submitted my resignation and cited pay as my reason for leaving. I then showed the district director one of the threads on this site where somebody with my same job title stated their... — read more

Why so slow, why so low value add?
EMT needs a shakeup.
EMT needs a shakeup. Nothing new to see or hear. Talk about lack of value creation. They are just sitting around watching their stock options pile up. There has been a lack of diversity for years, so they make alterations at the board level. Make... — read more
Company conversation
Tone deaf EMT keeps getting worse. What am I doing with my bonus? I'm paying my rent that went up 40%, inflation that's up 6-12%, and the $5 a gallon gas I need to get to the office now. They should be ashamed, I hope someone with less to lose has... — read more
Bonuses
All things considered, the bonus was pretty decent this year. I got my standard 15% plus an extra 5 percent kicker added on. My RSU award was equivalent to 22% of my base. My annual raise was only 1.89 percent but the bonus kicker made up for it. ... — read more
2nd week back and already got exposed to COVID at the office, hurray
Anyone else wish we could go back to 100% remote?
Sadly the culture has taken a sharp decline over the past few years
Although I didn't have visibility to all departments, unfortunately, the overall sentiment recently has been that the culture has declined. Benefits remain strong but at the cost of no work/life balance and toxic environments.
It's not like people are struggling to get a job here
Some say Crown has no problem hiring new candidates. How then do you explain that for a long time now no one has filled the open positions of two of my colleagues who left? I still think the company is having trouble hiring new people. Just like... — read more
