Forum supposed to be for layoff talk and some leaders are making the permitter lists their personal vendetta list, but posts about leaders and layoffs getting deleted. Some leaders changing story—we noticed. Why only those posts go missing? ... — read more 

Does anyone who works in fiber know about any layoffs yet? Is it happening yet? Did anyone get letters to stay?

The transition is in full swing. The lists tied to CCi, Zayo, and EQT are made and they’re checking them twice to see who’s been “naughty” or “nice.” Many already know their fate, while others are still anxiously waiting to see where they land. Some... — read more 

Great job to the board and EMT making moves needed. Time to clean house, make us efficient bring in real leaders people who respect people in their teams and know how to build, not break. Change is hard, but it’s needed. Some leaders were put in... — read more 

The Purple is gone and Zayo needs to do their research on bad employees at Crown Castle. Houston OSP has the worst supervisors and above. The way they treat people is speechless and should not be tolerated! I see the bad treatment everyday and the... — read more 

For those of you that will be left after the rapture, it's gonna by a rough ride. We all know Cathy P will run this company in the ground. She's done it before.

Let’s be real—things have been a little wild lately, no doubt. But guess what? We’re part of a publicly traded company that’s evolving. That means change isn’t just expected—it’s necessary. If that feels uncomfortable, it might be time to either get... — read more 

When will I ever learn. Oh hopefully it goes back up within a few years.

This place has been wrecking careers since the late 2000s. Anyone with an exit plan should bail while they still can. There’s zero loyalty left, and the pay isn’t even worth the stress anymore. Plenty of other fields actually treat people like humans... — read more 

We wanted to see changes in the ELT, and changes are happening. I'm not saying their replacements are guaranteed to fix this place, but what are the chances they can do worse than their predecessors?

Real work is back, and the leadership that matters gets it and are taking care of it! In one swift move, some infamous figures are exiting stage left: The Arrogant Impostor leader #1 – Talked big, did nothing, A few more remain so far who... — read more 

If so, I surely hope that most managers will be gone. One can dream.

Ed Chan gone. Thoughts?

Is it pointless to be honest?

Nothing but BS coming out of everyone on the call today. You really think we believe all of your lies lol

Stay Positive, good times are just around the corner. Once the board figures out who needs to be at helm of this ship we will get back on course. We need to part ways first with all remote employees, they are like Federal Employees doing very little... — read more 

Just caught wind of more layoffs hitting Crown next month – not sure how solid the source is though. Anyone else hearing these rumors or able to shut them down? Wouldn’t be shocked either way at this point.

It’s impossible to overstate the sheer dysfunction of the leadership at Crown Castle. The directors, VPs, and senior managers operate in a constant state of chaos, unable to keep a single concept straight without overcomplicating everything to the... — read more 

The sheer disappointment is overwhelming. The apathy on those so-called "leaders’" faces was almost comical—if it weren’t so tragic. If credibility was ever in short supply, it has officially hit rock bottom. The idea that this is something to build... — read more 

Years later and it's still crazy to see where we are since when she came around

CCI stock dropped $10 from two days ago. CC needs a complete cleaning house of management from EMT through local area managers. This company and its fiber and small cell records are horrible over the past ten years to date. I wouldn’t be surprised if... — read more 

I don’t see how the current leadership will be able to transition our assets to the buyers. They could barely run network, and keep track of what small cells we have. D&C doesn’t even know where the nodes are and what is even in them. Now they are... — read more 

I’ll just be here until I’m laid off. In the meantime, I’ve been making sure to stay up to date on my skills, constantly checking for other opportunities, and not really caring about what happens with CC. It’s not like any of us can influence the... — read more 

YES! A CEO who actually knows the business, understands finance, and can talk to both a crowd and a single human—what a concept! Please, make him permanent and show the consultant impostors the door. We swear, not a single soul will ask for pet... — read more 

Does anybody have any information about the news of the CEO layoff?

Two managers just up and left in the past couple weeks. One took a job at a different team - laterally. The other just walked away. it makes me nervous. What if they saw somthing coming. What if we are the only ones in the dark... Maybe I am... — read more 

Especially if you're young. Crown will do nothing for your career except hold you back. If I weren’t close to retirement, I’d be long gone.

Looks like most people are speculating but nobody knows for sure.

Where will we be investing once we just can focus on competing with American Tower etc and not incinerating cash on fiber and small cells? Hurdle rate for a tower co is higher? So what makes the cut?

I imagine there will be some restructuring.

Each time I see a bit clearer how disposable they consider us and it affects my work ethic. Why should I give it my all for a place that will cut without a second thought no matter how good I am at what I do? I'm getting to a point where my bare... — read more

With the sale of Fiber and Small Cells, this means a massive amount of personnel will lose their jobs. This will include Fiber and Small cell area directors, market managers, project managers, construction personnel, outage and issue personnel, local... — read more 

Interesting that fiber, with massive amounts of physical assets is valued at the same amount as small cells. https://www.jwttc.com/post/crown-castle-announces-agreement-to-sell-fiber-segment-to-eqt-and-zayo-for-8-5-billion

If you're willing to share, that'd be amazing. Did they give a reason? How much time did you have to pack up? Is severance set in stone? Did anyone manage to get a recommendation letter? Just trying to get a sense of what to expect. Not looking... — read more 

Too lucky, perhaps. My guess is that my luck will run out this time, especially with almost all of us at fiber now at high risk of being laid off. Oh well... I can’t say it would be the worst thing that ever happened to me, but the state of the job... — read more 

For those of us who haven’t been in this situation before, what groups do you feel like have a chance of keeping a job? Just general thoughts I guess on what the next year and a half looks like for various groups.

Hopefully once the dust settles we can go back to being a great place to work where people rarely quit.
