Thread regarding Crown Castle International Corp. layoffs

DEI

Was the DEI talk just in Network? In Towers, leadership rarely mentioned diversity aside from those discussion cards.

A lot of folks at Crown have been here for 10-20 years, so maybe they don’t realize that many Fortune 500 companies have affinity groups and do things like recognize Black History Month or support local events like the Pride Parade. This isn’t just some trendy tech start-up nonsense. Other companies do these things way more often and on a much bigger scale than Crown ever has.

I’m not here to argue if these gestures actually help anyone and I’m not saying Crown should copy other big companies' DEI initiatives. I just wonder how some of these anti-DEI posters would handle working at any other large company.

People downvoting post that are true and relevant is the reason Crown is going down. The typical Crown employee is not that smart. They get laid off and not find a job for months because they’re just not that good.

Hilarious seeing people downvoting the previous person for saying the company was run into the ground by evangelicals, when nothing they said was a lie

And the racist s-xist old tr*mpers come in to blame women, BIPOC, etc. because the company was nearly grounded by a couple of white conservative Christians in the red state of Texas. Next they will start blaming the lack of a border wall or sharks.

We were brought down by corporate greed dressed up as a mega-church-funding aww shucks all American boy with horse teeth and a big truck (you know what that means).

Is executive compensation (VP and up) tied to meeting DEI targets? Many companies do it.

DEI at Crown is more used to promote people into jobs that have no clue what the job actually does. Take KR for example, nice person but spineless and is pushed in whatever direction by CL. You have VPDP in the West who lies about everything including his Military Service. Yeah, he quit AF basic after almost two weeks to go home to mommy, yet claims to be an actual Vet. He promotes people to cover his lies. Everyone should polish your resume up, because Dday is coming. This place used to be one of the best places to work, but now it is run by turds and we are all hanging on for dear life to the edge of the bowl. Semper FI

DEI backlash is just political BS to cause division and win votes at the ballot box. Crown is in the position its in because of bad business decisions not DEI.

As someone who worked on both sides of the business, I would say that the DEI stuff was much more prominent in network.

Crown only does their philanthropy to look good publicly. Privately, they do nothing. I made donations to Make-A-Wish and Crown promised to match. I sent multiple messages and they continued to promise to match. A year later and still no match. All said and done, I sent $1k and Crown sent $0. Their excuse, they don't support Make-a-Wish no longer. Disgusting...
