It's bizarro world at Avaya. Channel gets to spend and entertain via marketing dollars. Elton John concerts. Partner activities like NASCAR. Baseball games. Waterfront dining. It's endless. Lipstick on a Pig! Why don't you fix the pig instead?... — read more 

Most curious how such a post was allowed to be removed. This is THE Layoff .com. And Avaya layoffs have all been precipitated by "business update" emails. 🙏for our EIRE friends.

What a farce…

I have 3 questions: is there a vendor in the world who has this job? What do they do? Apart from being Alan’s sweetheart, how does ST add any value to the business?

Avaya employees (mostly marketing) posting tweets about their Employee Appreciation Dayoff today as thousands of their former collegues were laid off. Learn to read the room as these people are clueless.

Trust the marketing team has been aware of the appointment for some time, even though it needed to be quiet during Chapter 11. Why still quiet publicly?

Hi Alan, can you list your achievements since joining Avaya, you came and spoke a big game but we can't see any home run so far.
