Thread regarding Commscope Inc. layoffs

Yes the job market is that bad right now. Average job hunt is 5 months.

No merit increases for salaried exempt employees. Now why would I assume that doesn’t apply to the executives?

Does the job market suck that badly right now, that they don’t expect people to bail? The most talented people will be the ones to leave; they don’t have to stick around and do their work + the work of those recently axed for no raise.

Of course the board members got huge stock grants prior to this. Maybe the board should be fired.

Chuck's current plan: The beatings will continue until moral improves.

I pity the fool who's been tasked with turning morale round.

This is a new strategy. Maybe Tingle's wrist got tired signing all those severance checks.

I thought the idea of layoffs in a sane company was so you could afford to pay your remaining staff a normal salary which includea rises. He keeps gaslighting us that everything is great and then takes action like this. FU you don't get a minute more than my contracted hours and don't start this if we all work hard we will rewarded that's not how it works and you know it.

No merit increase this year. Thanks Chuck. What a shrude way to get people to leave without paying out severance. Work harder through attrition without ANY reward. I'm sure he appreciates it oh so much.

Think we know what the plan is now. F everyone over.

The entire plan is the word "Winning!" written in sharpie on a whiteboard.

It's not just the silence from the ELT. There are about 6 or 7 layers of middle management above my line manager. We've heard nothing from them either, in some cases nothing for years.

With limited resources I don't understand how mushroom management is going to get the best out of folk. Do they not teach the concept of morale in business school these days
