Does it just seem to me or is this becoming a company where mediocrity thrives?
There are exceptions of course, those who really work hard and are very professional, but it surprises me when I see how mediocre people are building careers here now, while the careers of capable people with expertise are mostly stagnant.
At least they finally fired that joke Troy Knuckles. He had zero effectiveness, didn't go into the field, has no social media, didn't evangelize CC's Fiber division and thought watching a flash report all day furiously refreshing his screen every 10 minutes and holding conference calls once per quarter was doing a good job as president of fiber enterprise sales. Glad to see him gone!
Digital transformation and business process management. Half the company not doing a thing while the rest of us work 80 hours a week actually trying to produce something.
“ quit crying.. ya'll sounding like a group of entitled teenagers. Sounding ridiculous on every all-hands calls asking to work less and get paid more....
reason why there was a massive layoff was because it was made obvious that a bunch were just taking a check and doing jack sh9t...”
You described the digital transformation team to the T.

Oh Sunesys was def ruined no doubt
Which companies has Crown ruined? I am only guessing here, but I would assume they mean CC ruined itself as well as the companies they acquired. One bad apple spoils the bunch so to speak.
Will "BigGovSucks" explain their comment more thoroughly?
Which well respected company has Crown Castle ruined? Lightower? Lightower wasn’t well respected. Verizon laughed at them for being inefficient and unable to grow. Lightower wasn’t worth the 7 billion that Crown paid. Jay got ripped off but he didn’t ruin Lightower.
What? Lol, the company has lost its way due to poor leadership and acquiring fiber companies but they haven't ruined any other companies, we've always been the shining star of wireless.
This company is a SCAM, they have habitually ruined some excellent well respected companies in the industry.
Brown has let the "Good Ol Boy" Telecom network infiltrate CC. Take a look at the recent high end telco mgt that was hired. Knuckles get hired from Centurylink to run Enterprise Sales, was overmatched, then gets moved to a cushy Account Mgt Position. Knuckles hires his buddy Roger Paschall from Centurylink to run Indirect who hires his buddy Shawn Graham who gets promoted after being at the company for a short time while doing nothing. CC should be able to attract the best in the business to run sales, not non productive retreads. No wonder sales reps are leaving CC in droves.
You have a higher likelihood of getting promoted if you have family at Crown. That is a hard skill to come by these days.
If you are a hard worker, why would your manager promote you to a position where work is no longer your goal? Managers manage, they do not work. So it is foolish to promote from within, especially if the individual contributor is a hard worker. Birds of a feather flock together. Fraternization means that workers and managers do not intermingle unless at a corporate function.

This company has taken a sharp turn in the last few years. I work with some of the hardest working committed people I have ever met, and now they are starting to worry about the company, and are actively looking.
There’s no warm and fuzzy feeling, managers being instructed to look for problems that don’t exist. Higher ups actively ignore valid feedback. How can we expected to drink the B3 koolaid anymore when company doesn’t operate under their own values?
