Take the time to review and see what the c-suite and board are doing to you all. The are rewarding them for half-a$$ results. The comp increase and bonus is disgusting when they ask of the staff what they won’t do themselves. If you stay, good... — read more
Networking industry vs recession
How has the networking industry done in the past recessions? Are we expected as much layoffs as other industries?
Highway Robbery vs Performance Reviews
Wow, not against people getting reworded for good performance, but is all. The options just acquired by the c-suite at $0 cost worth it? Chuck awarded 422k shares, Mingle 46.5k, and more…. Look at the owner ship disclosures. ... — read more
2023 stability
Does anyone know if Commscope will make it through 2023 without any layoffs?
Severance Package
Does Commscope offer a decent severance package for employees they layoff?
Overworked and exhausted
This can't go on like this much longer. Is there anyone here who is not overworked and on the verge of burnout? Perhaps a person can be overworked and productive for a short time, but for a long time it is simply not possible. I hope to find a new... — read more
Town Hall
Chuckles is still pushing work-from-home and ignoring that BUs are not properly managing products. There are too many products and too few employees staffing them. The result is too many [exhausted] employees working on multiple parallel releases. At... — read more
Is Ruckus stable?
I was affected by the recent tech layoff. I noticed that Ruckus has some job openings. How are things there now? I am eager to find a job, but I don’t want to go through another layoff.
They don't even bother to prioritize things
It's really frustrating when you work for a hands-off manager that doesn't establish any clear goals. The stress is enormous because managers do not know (or do not want to) set priorities. I am overwhelmed with work, but everything is urgent to my... — read more
How much longer will it go on like this?
I just wonder how long will the employees have to deal with unrealistic expectations, because only for so long can one person do a job that should be done by two or three people. It's not sustainable in the long run. I will give notice in a few... — read more
This company doesn't care about employees at all
It is obvious that the company does not care about the employees at all. Hard work goes unrecognized and unrewarded. I started looking for my way out of there, although I'm not sure if the situation is much better in that regard in other... — read more
Stock
Charles L. Treadway, CommScope Holding Company, Inc.'s President and CEO and a director of the company, recently disposed of 65,584 shares of the company. The disposals took place at $9.21 per share, on October 01, 2022. Why to go Chuck setting... — read more
Home Networks Layoffs
Will we have layoffs again? If yes, when?
In order to retain good employees...
If I were the leader of this company, I would honestly worry about the fact that so many people are leaving. What do you think, do they: cannot afford good benefits simply refuse to try to retain good employees?
Believe?
What’s your take on the results and their optimism?
What’s with the stock Increase
Anyone knows why the stock is doing much better now ?
Forget about layoffs…
The talent is leaving VOLUNTARILY!!! Forget about town halls or unanswered questions.. It is very clear that corp jobs are moving to India as fast as possible or upper mgmt offering x workers in India to 1 in the US, when they loose someone... — read more
If you read carefully
There is a pension fund that has invested in CommScope. Why would anyone risk that? https://www.defenseworld.net/2022/07/11/bailard-inc-invests-424000-in-commscope-holding-company-inc-nasdaqcomm.html
Disconnected management
Of course, the disconnect between management and us has a severely negative impact on this company as well. I just wonder where that will take this company? I have never before worked in a company where management is less interested in listening to... — read more
Microsoft
Know anything about CommScope’s new partnership with Microsoft?
No direction, no plans?
Perhaps I'm wrong, but it seems to me that the leadership does not know where this company is going, nor does it have any serious plan for its future.
More to come
Just wait, things are going to continue. With the stock dropping again, the street knows CS is broken. The stock pushing to set all time lows again and the bottom has yet to be seen. Their only savior will be to sell something or go private. Tik... — read more
Losing hope
I really hoped that Commscope would get back on track, but in the meantime and in between constant cuts, I lost hope that it would ever happen. Now I'm starting to think that the company will not even exist for much longer, but that is just my... — read more
Balanced View on CommScope
The leadership team responsible for the last two major acquisitions, BNS and ARRIS, is no longer at CommScope. It is true that the last two major acquisitions failed to meet expectations and the end result is a company mired in debt that is still... — read more
What are your thoughts on the town hall?
I was underwhelmed. Lots of song and dance as usual.
How happy are you at Commscope?
Too many people I work with seem utterly miserable lately. I'm not one of them. Other than the fear of layoffs, I like my job and the people I work with, including my manager. Pay might not be the best but it's not the worse either and I prefer... — read more
Did the layoffs already happen or are they set to happen?
I'm both terrified of losing my job right now and terrified of someone on my team getting axed and leaving us with a crazy workload.
It is interesting that cuts are happening
Given the number of people leaving, it is very interesting that the company also decides to make some cuts. I guess they expect those who stay to be willing to do double or triple workloads. Obviously, leadership and management are detached from... — read more
Doom and gloom misguided
The negativity surrounding this company on this board (and the press in general) seems to be severely misguided. The ER today shows the resiliency of management and their ability to turn things around. I am proud to be part of this organization and... — read more
If Carlyle is planning to take the company private...
My question is, where do they plan to get the $1.3B to pay off the shareholders? It does seem like they want to stock price to keep going lower so they don't have to pay much out to the shareholders. How else do you explain a stock price that hit... — read more
I still get “This is my last day here” emails
I haven't noticed that the attrition slowed down at all. That's a little worrying. The remaining employees are increasingly overloaded. I wonder what the future holds for those who stay here?
My boss looks more and more nervous
Cuts are still just speculation but I notice that my boss looks more and more nervous, which is a red flag to me. Any insights, please? I am very anxious because layoff would really hurt me now and I am failing to get a new offer.
Idle
Without giving too much away, I work in professional services and most of us have been sitting idle since the end of 2021. I was told by a high-level person recently that sales was directed to only sell services if bundled with product. Basically... — read more
A year later
I doubt very much that there is anyone who was laid off last year but who is not happy now that he or she was laid off back then. Is there anyone like that? I was afraid of being cut at the time but it turns out that year later I am still in the... — read more
