Apparently the board is bed with the c-suite and just as responsible for the mess created, but let’s pay them more and offer more shares for the half a$$ service provided.

I wish I was one of those people who can say that layoff will finally bring them relief and that being fired here is the best thing that could have happened to them. I can't think that way now and after being laid off I am devastated. I still can’t... — read more

Well you should...watch them lie to their employees and everyone else. It's a wake up call for real.

a lot of the features on the Commscope CPE modems either don't work or are disabled? Is that poor testing or intentional?

I just wish it’s Monday already. I really don’t have a clue if I’m getting laid off but the tension is ki—gme. If I’m getting laid off I wish that they just rip off the bandaid already.
