Please somebody tell me it's finally done?

There were mentions that something big would happen at Arris this week, any updates on that? I'm not sure how I'd take it so soon after the last round, but I still think it's better to know ahead than just be suddenly hit with it over the head. I... —  read more

Yes, there were a lot of us let go in 2004 by a "VP" who said we didn't have the qualifications needed for the job. What a joke! We were some of the first to work and help build the start up and we BUILT the teams and the company and the job... —  read more
