Ruck U

The endless madness has got to stop. Literally wheelbarrows of cash have been spent. With little to show for it. Market projections have actually slid down, because one management's vision is replaced by another. And this happened frequently. And... — read more

Rumor has it a very senior level engineer who left for another company, just returned. Any scoop on that?

Growth

I heard about their growth plans called CommScope Next and investments in new markets/verticals. It’ll be interesting to see if they can pull it off.

Motivation zero

Yesterday I barely forced myself to start working, and today the situation is even worse. Where do you find motivation to work here?

People with 50+ are also leaving

It is not very true that older employees are not leaving. I’m one of those older employees who struggled to find a new job, but eventually I found it. Anyone who finds any acceptable option leaves here. In my opinion, the company will have a big... — read more

That A word

Instead of layoffs, why not let attrition do it's thang?

GG Ruckus

Another org change, anyone actually surprised though?

Pack your $h!t

Coming out of the pandemic, they should be reporting better numbers. This company $ucks. Chasing the big dogs is apparently not working. Once upon a time this was a really good company but VP and above greed has run it into the ground. You... — read more 

Any success?

Has anyone who is 50+ left the industry and found success elsewhere? I know it’s a hindrance once you hit your mid 40s but finding gainful employment is important and I’m wondering if I should look outside my field. I’m trying to get my foot in the... — read more 

Better times for Commscope

Will those times ever come? Does anyone else feel optimism that Commscope could get back on track? This week is my last here because I'm not very optimistic, so I was looking for a new job, but still, I've been working here for a long time and... — read more

Morgan Kurk Gone

Morgan Kurk is now in the history books. Says he resigned, but prob more like a push with a kn--e in the back.

It might be too late

I'd like to think there's still time to undo all the mistakes and wrong moves and get this company back on track, but I think it might be time to admit that we are too far gone by now. Too much damage has been done to even entertain the idea of... — read more 

Do you plan to leave before the next quarter?

I know a person who made a big mistake because she was waiting for a package instead of leaving Commsope when she had a pretty good offer. I don’t intend to make that mistake because it’s a lot easier to get a job while you still have a job. I... — read more 

Old-fashioned black cable-making business

How's that part of CommScope doing? Making cable used to be CommScope's core business and competency. Corning and other cable competitors are going gangbusters this year. Can making cable generate enough cash to keep everything afloat?

Layoff month

Today is the first day of Q3 and did anyone receive any meeting invite from their manager or HR? I haven’t yet but quite stressed as rumours are circulating and CS did this after every quarter in the last 3 years.

Salary increases….you wish!

More like salary decrease!!! This year’s salary increase, was 2.5%… not even close to inflation. You basically loose money working at commscope! Time to find a better position somewhere else!!!

Bonus

Does Commscope give cash or equity bonus or no bonus?

How big layoffs to expect?

Some believe it will happen as early as this month. It's really becoming unbearable. Does anyone have any idea how large the next layoffs will be? I still think that it will not be big cuts, but that they will gradually cut a few people over a... — read more 

Currently magement sees employees as a liability

In my experience the heart of the matter falls at management’s doorstep. Literally, stuff rolls downhill, and it does. How many CS managers have recently learned to leverage contractors that are a FTE of an OUTSIDE sub-contract company? Not paid... — read more

I was offered a position

Someone told me to check out the company on the usual website Glassdoor, yada, yada. Then this website came into my radar. The posts are very telling.

Learn how to make it up the ladder

People here seem to think that hard work increases their chances of getting a promotion and that could not be more wrong. This is a company with a lot of mediocre (at best) managers who see anybody who works hard and knows what they're doing as a... — read more 

Is it reasonable what they do?

I can't believe that there are people in leadership positions who don't understand what a waste it is if talented employees are handed over to the competition so easily, and young people are hired in their place who don't have much enthusiasm for... — read more 

Always be prepared

I got laid off. Every body was talking about what was coming and I ignored all the 'background noise' until it was too late. I had to scramble to get re-employed. It was not easy but I did better than Commscope in the end. If I had known what... — read more 

Age discrimination?

A few of the posts here, indicate that a lot of older employees are being targeted on this layoffs! If a company is laying off a specific age group, may be is worth contacting the workforce commission or a lawyer.

How many of you had to relocate for a new job?

I made a stupid mistake when I did not accept the offer because I was not ready to move back then. After that, I was no longer able to go beyond the interview phase, because a lot of people apply for the same position and it is very difficult to... — read more
