Just curious which companies people are looking at for their next position.

Why in the world would anyone volunteer? You’re just asking to get denied, and then fired for “not being a team player” 6 or 8 months later.
Network people will leave anyhow. How CCI is handling this layoff will endear them to no one. Much better employers out there. EMT lacks the fortitude to even face people on a Teams call. Who wants to work for spineless people like that?
People working on the network side are too valuable to let go. The future of crown is in SC and fiber. It makes sense that we would turn down their voluntary lay offs.
Right. I want out! No, you are too valuable so you have to stay….what???? So stupid how this process works
@5iyk+1nPjLR2o Too many people volunteered as tribute. There weren’t going to be enough peasants for the post-layoff sequel.
And I know people that have volunteered and were denied….this makes no sense
Has anyone that volunteered received any additional info yet? My request was accepted, but its been crickets since then.
@rso+1nPjLR2o: You’re on to something. A lot of companies have “slimmed down” to make themselves more attractive to buyers. Just something to consider.
Jump!
Might look at Starlink. Take the whole industry out.
“You don’t think fiber is bloated? Fiber makes up 65% of the total employees but generate a fraction of the revenue. Explain how that makes any sense.”
I don’t need to explain, the EMT already has
@mfs+1nPjLR2o the EMT’s approach to gardening. Plant a node, water with debt, and watch it grow into a weed to sell to shareholders!
Yeah, but those tiny towers are so cute!
Once people start wising up to the bubble gum fiber failure and people lose their jobs, they'll sell off the fiber business, then either stay as the tiny tower owner or be bought by American or SBA.
@dwt+1nPjLR2o I don’t want or need your leads. PC positions are a dime a dozen. I was just genuinely curious about companies or industries. I’m probably one of the fortunate ones because I’m in PreCon.
Anyone else think Crown is in danger of a buyout or bankruptcy?
Starbucks. I’ve always fancied myself a barista.

American Tower was smarter with their investments, like acquiring Coresite.
Crown Castle is cutting jobs for a number of reasons. I understand that people are mad and are looking to blame anything but these cuts are mostly because the tower side of Crown expanded to much for no reason. They banked on tower construction services coming through but forgot to take into consideration that the carriers drive the business and if there is a slowdown from them it is just something we as a company cannot control. As a result you have an excess of employees who have very little to do. In general, the tower side of the business was very bloated. There are layers and layers of management for departments that are overcrowded. Towers had a bad habit of creating departments and groups for things that just were not needed. Our competitors did not do this, thus they have not been cutting employees.
American Tower did let most of their contract employees go at the end of March.
And tell you my leads, no today!
@nup, they didn’t go into debt to build SC and fiber
Out of curiosity, the American Tower and SBA boards on this site seem to be curiously absent of recent layoff activity. Why is it that Crown is laying-off, but our main competitors are not? Exclude the EMT from that equation, briefly... how are are our competitors immune to downstream telecom downturn?
