Thread regarding Crown Castle International Corp. layoffs

VP of Digital Transformation fired today

Will be announced on all hands tomorrow. Sales VP of Analytics will be taken over. Hard to find someone who did a worse job then current VP. Destroyed culture, spent millions, utterly clueless.

Not surprising. Symptom of a broader disease in the company in last few years. CC culture began its decline when they brought on Laura Nichol (at the time an executive consultant) as head of HR.

The corporate version of Jack Easterby.

So did quit or was he forced out? What is going on with EMT? Total mess.

It is a definite but it was stated that he decided to leave after a merger of DT with Sales Analytics. We all know he didn't just decide to leave.

Do we have confirmation on this yet? No one seems to have heard about it internally but I don't have any contacts under DT.

You are so right, but the crown way is to let
someone else take the fall. Often times, it isn't even the most responsible party, but it's easier to place all the blame on 1 individual and move on...see Jim Young.

The blame goes far beyond the VP. Much of the blame resides both with the VP's direct reports as well as the EMT

This manager created a hostile work environment to a point where reports were actively looking for other employment.

I guest the positive side is that they realized a mistake had been made and severed ties with this individual. Who's up next?

100% agreed. Your numbers are dead on to what was spent.

Reading this made my day and I have nothing to do with this company. The reason this made my day is so many companies are laying off entire departments to hire a a new digital transformation team. By the time you pay new digital transformation team 12 million in salary, 20 million on consultants as 30 million for force everything to cloud computing right flipping now you probably could have just sent and trained your existing workforce in that direction at a cost of 5 million versus throwing 70 million cash into a pit and lighting it on fire for your digital transformation agile scrum enablement bonfire party.

But that would not be as exciting and cool as the fantasy of wiping the slate clean and staring over would it?
