Thread regarding Crown Castle International Corp. layoffs

Word on the street is that EMT is out in SP making their rounds asking for forgiveness. True or not.

@6wnb+1qWTD9D2 Steel here is right at home there. Nothing like working in a place where you get paid well for raising to the level of your incompetence.

Hopefully their undercover and are putting faces to names of all the incestuous mgmt relationships. That place is an absolute snake pit.

Yep, you nailed it. I am just a simpleton that didn't jump ship when the waters got rough. Despite my personal decision I also miss many of the people no longer here. I even offer to help. I'm such a dummy.

Steel here… You’re as dense as your handle implies. Anyone with knowledge and experience has jumped ship or in the process. You must be one of those over paid, under skilled Tower folks.

If it is true the CISO is leaving....good. Our meetings with his crew are useless. They offer nothing, and when asked about security budgets....crickets.

The CISO put in his notice! I overheard meetings in Houston mention he is leaving since DS is staying.

The “if you don’t like it, leave” mindset is the ultimate display of Kool Aid intoxication. Keep fighting for a transparent culture and accountability.

@2cir+1qWTD9D2 As with all those who are complaining about CC, no one is keeping you from leaving. The funny thing is the ones that complain the most, are staying because they don’t have the knowledge or experience to leave. Anyone who knows what they’re doing is gone or in the process of jumping ship.

I got a JB tattoo but the stock at $190 so it seemed fine. I do regret it but I am waiting for the new CEO before I get it removed.

“Well, there are now Verizon execs steering the ship and a board member who's ex American Tower. So yea, the adults in Houston are gonna start course correcting. Anything else the children of SP wanna whine about?”

Hahahaha, I bet this kid thought things were running great when Jay was in charge too. This time last year they thought Crown was unstoppable and the almighty EMT had great plans to make the stock price go back up. I’d also bet they had a picture of Jay in their cubical where they would often find themselves lost in a daze admiring it. It’s both sad and funny at the same time that people like this exist.

“Boohoo, take your participation trophy and quiet down so the adults in Houston can put CC back on track.”

Lol could you imagine how stupid this person has to be to think that there is anybody in Houston that is capable of righting the ship? These are the same people who got us into this mess, they aren’t capable of getting us out of it…

Sorry 1was+1qWTD9D2, I don't work at SP and not sure anyone there feels entitled. SP hosted many calls. As you remember the SP staff was faced with a major life event courtesy of the EMT. The EMT are leaders, maybe they should get out of their comfort zone. Love to see them do these in a different office each quarter.

We are all in the same situation. JB and LN are gone, kinda, so we can stop the finger pointing, okay?

Easy there DS dont get so red in the face!

In a few months we can see if Elliott has confidence that Houston has the ability to turn this around.

If Houston, or SP, can't develop a plan to increase returns maybe fiber and small cell are worth more with someone else.

What won't help is complaining about Towers or SP. Those folks created the cash that allowed JB and crew to dabble in fiber. Maybe this could have been avoided had they met with Elliott a couple years ago. Difficult to be objective when you ignore other views.

What the people from SP forget is that Crown Communications is no more. Castle Tower Corp has completed the ouster of any semblance of Crown as HQ is in Houston, where Castle Tower was HQ'ed. SP, put a sock in it and quit your self important, whining. Boohoo, take your participation trophy and quiet down so the adults in Houston can put CC back on track.

“Goes to show you how special the SP people think they are. You do know that Crown exist outside of Houston and SP, right? Should Miami feel marginalized since the company convo wasn’t held there?”

If an office has the capabilities of holding the company conversation then it should be at a different office location every time. The SP office is not special, however it is the largest office by far. Why would they not want to be in front as many people as possible? Having the same 400 people in Houston attend time after time is just d-mb.

SP marginalized? Hold the company conversation at SP?

Looks like they are going to shut down the canonsburg office! The EMT did the same thing last year only to send an email 2 months later saying that they will shut down the office

I wouldn’t say they were asking for forgiveness but they were certainly putting on a show to make everyone think all is well. Kinda like JB did when he came to the Southpointe BBQ in August smiling and handshaking after gutting towers… only to turn around in October to let everyone know they were designated to Houston…

A little hollow when they do the EMT meetings in Houston and the tech demos there. How hard would it have been to do the company conversation at SP?

Seems like they would be a little less tone deaf. You can say SP is not being marginalized but actions seem otherwise.

But at least you got a purple lollipop!!
