A picture in the Ruckus cafeteria area shows us when we started out. Back in the day, we had such big dreams like take on Cisco and trash talk other competitors. Fast forward (today). Nobody on that picture is still left. Last one just got let... — read more
Will they lay off
Will they lay off the Executives that caused the mess?
A few months ago
Commscope was running radio advertisements, looking to hire. You're in, you're out in two months flat.
Ruckus would have been in bankruptcy with out Commscope
The way they were running it into the ground. Six of one. Half dozen ... Who cares if Commscope ruins Ruckus, or maybe Ruckus did it to themselves.
Did'nt Commscope try to sell off Arris...
And it didn't work out? Now they have to resort to more layoffs? Why did they even buy this company?
The funny thing is
Google used to own Arris.
Will it be done today?
Does anybody have a meeting set for tomorrow with their manager and HR? Please share if you do, just to know whether we're looking at multiple-day layoffs or a single-day event. I'm praying it's going to be done today but something tells me that's... — read more
Looks like everyone gets a haircut today
Most if not all groups impacted. I heard few hundred. My manager says I'm safe, for now. Any word, how hard back east was impacted?
It has started!
Good luck all. I hope it's true what they say about being safe if you don't have a meeting scheduled, but I still can't be sure.
Very Quiet Still
Anyone hear anything yet?
100's
world wide
Can we get some details, please?
I barely slept the entire night worrying about what's coming today. It's bad to know something's going on but have no idea what and where. Is there any chance we can more details on what happened yesterday and what we might be looking at today? I'll... — read more
A lot of managers in meetings this afternoon
I just discovered that if you create a new meeting, you can see who's unavailable. I didn't save the meeting - just checked the availability.
Hr arrive at airport
It's official
What's happening tomorrow?
My manager won't say anything, but everyone is talking about layoffs tomorrow. Anyone know which groups will be affected?
The Ruckus parking lots are so empty
The post office workers (Java & Borregas) have started using it for a parking lot.
When Brocade bought Ruckus
We thought we finally arrived.
Today's news wont help Commscope
"AT&T lobbies against nationwide fiber, says 10Mbps uploads are good enough."
It could have been a good friday
Outta here...
April 7th - good luck
Appears April 7th is the next series of Commscope layoffs. Any intel as to what groups are impacted?
When Google bought Motorola
They quietly sold it off to: Arris (modems) Lenovo (flip fones)
Goodbye Arris Cable/DSL
It was nice working with you all! A great people. And I thank you! We broke so many glass ceilings, we nearly had it all. Motorola, PACE and we bought all those companies and gobbled them ALL up. See you in the next startup... — read more
When Commscope bought Ruckus
They put a sign on the front door and left a week later ( they all flew back home to the east coast ). Ruckus had experienced this several times with Broadcom Arris, Broadcom. And each time more people left because our stock options just got worse... — read more
Is Ruckus to be Shuttered?
Next week? How long do they have?
CPE Biz Sold?
Any updates as last year results suggested that CPE was down again. I suspect it will be sold off this year. Thoughts?
Quality no longer matters?
In fact, it wasn’t particularly important even when I first came here, but in the meantime it became less and less important. I hate working in a company that sells software of substandard quality. I mean, I’m ashamed. Quality should be an... — read more
New CIO, Job s going to India
Commscope has a new CIO. Within weeks of the new CIO assuming power, jobs are already going to India. He already expressed a India first preference for any new or replacement worker. Possibly cuts to come.
Do you really need Commscope?
Let's say you are a building owner. Isn't there too much interface to add DAS or small cell? I have often wondered, why not just use the existing wireless carriers? They purchased tons of spectrum that building managers just don't have. Isn't... — read more
