Exempt/NonExempt Change for FE and CM

Change announced as of 4/27/2026 @ 1:00pm EST

Our departmental groups have been chatting about this potential since the beginning but the info finally dropped. That group is just but one of the many departments being squeezed to absolute death with due dates and high expectations of the perpetual ‘pull-in’ cycle of doom.

At the very least, we could look forward to being appropriately compensated via overtime. With that having been taken away as soon as Friday, I ponder how many people will leave prior to the handoff. Likely stick around for the ‘retention bonus’.

Wild a-s info but sadly it’s been expected for a while now.

We still have a couple days left, who the he-l knows what other last minute thing they may pull out of their a-s.

Godspeed ya’ll.

@e7 There was a call about it on 4/27. called ZAYO - Design and Construction Teammate All Hands at 1pm to 1:30P 375 employees were invited.

FE and Construction were being changed from hourly to salary. In Zayo these departments are Salary.

If you were an associate your title was to be changed to a Fiber Engineering Specialist and would remain hourly.

Now if you start your open enrollment many of the fiber engineers that were not associates are now titled as specialist.

SO ............ I am sure there are things Zayo HR needs to correct.

Where did you see this update? Sharepoint? I am a CM and didn't get this email unless it's related to only tower group?

Pretty on par for the brand. They never cared about employees just su-king the work out of you till the close and they get a fat check. Don’t worry CL is so proud of us. But be real you aren’t leaving or quitting you will just take it. Or you would’ve left a long time ago.

@as it means moving from hourly, with the ability to claim overtime pay, to moving to salary.
