The new PE owners have quickly discovered that fiscal 2024 revenue plan is surely undoable. Avaya is not a 1.7B company as initially thought, thus the need to chop 1000-1200 heads in an effort to save 250-300 million dollars. Layoffs will be... — read more

I don't feel safe here because every time I think they are done making cuts, they do another round. I wonder if their idea of leadership consists of cutting staff to make the numbers look good, or what?

I still can't understand the logic behind getting rid of knowledgeable people while in the meantime promoting some of the greatest mediocrity. Isn't that an extremely destructive way of managing a company?

I received a few pings from an investigator who claims to be part of a broader investigation into Avaya and it's mishandling of Revenue Assertions and Finacial Stability. After further review,I've learned they are very legitimate. They are not... — read more

Was it produced by a 5 year old? With much aplomb a new website was unveiled today. Is this really the best they could do? I have seen primary school kids do a more professional job.

I'll be honest, I'm here because I can't get a good offer, but those who have better skills than me, who are marketable and can do much better than this, what are they still doing here?

It is understandable why cheaper labor sounds like an excellent option for the leadership. However, where will this take the company? They definitely don't think long term.
