Thread regarding Commscope Inc. layoffs

CS will not be transparent

CS will not be transparent with employees if the plan is to shutdown HN. They will quietly dismantle it until it is totally gone. Employees will only know the extent of the layoffs, etc. via the grapevine.

The only time I have seen a corporate entity be transparent with employees about a shutdown is after an acquisition announcement. At that point, typically a retention bonus program is setup to help with an orderly transition or shutdown. The affected employees can openly search for a new job and know the desired timing. They can also decide if the retention incentives are sufficient or if they are better off just leaving as soon as they find another job and forgoing the incentives.

It was an employee leak because I knew the week it happened when a friend there told me and nothing had been announced.

These F00Ls have no ethics. There has been no communication to past employees when they have no clue what was impacted. The mother effers can chock blowing each other. They are full of it and anyone believe the line BS is a F00L for believing them.

For those whining that it wasn't an employee leak

"Several CommScope employees told TechCrunch ..." https://techcrunch.com/2023/04/27/commscope-ransomware-data/

Providing credit monitoring is compliance with law. Think they’d do it otherwise??

Exactly - the hackers posted the data to the Darkweb. WHICH IS WHAT THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO DO. Give us money or we're going to post your data. Techcrunch looks for hacks so they have something to write about. The article today on the other hand was due to people leaking information. Which with Commscope's pathetic response to the problem so far, I don't exactly blame them. The email that went out on the 26th stating that everyone gets credit monitoring was due to being asked for comment on the article today. Just my 2 cents.

Agree..it literally is all take and no give with Cs slt. The way employees are treated is horrendous at times. And yes it is easier said to tell people people to just resign. Truly believe the end game is to burn out employees to point the have to resign for their mental health. no one is falling for hr pretending to care about employees mental well being..they talk the talk and noting more.

@ssm+1mlpOF0p What do I expect a company to do when making decisions?

How bout not making a decision to cripple the company with debt to a point it is no longer viable.

How about not allowing c-suite ppl to silo themselves with stock while ignoring real issues in more than one biz org.

How bout hiring a CEO that can instill some sort of positive moral instead of hiding.

How about not trying to sell off every piece of equipment and move labs across the world while spending millions on finishing out a new building location to move what is left of the company location from a facility that millions were just spent to update AND that is paid for.

I could go on, hopefully you get the point.

Seriously ..I was impressed that info wasn't leaked sooner to tech crunch.
For all you jnow it could have been leaked from one of the consultant companies. ..why assume it was a CS employee. Also people then expected to work even more crazy hours and not a word of time back / in lieu. Always the same..do yes you do sound like someone from slt with your comments !!

What do you expect a company to do when making major decisions like this? Want them to share the blueprint with everyone so employees can leak it to the world? What id--t leaked ransomeware-related email to TechCrunch?

Before others throw out the "tingle in the house" line, nope...I'm an individual contributor and no fan of the COMM c-suite. But, come on, who is stupid enough to not understand that sharing sensitive information only makes things worse for everyone? If the grass is greener everywhere else, leave.
