Thread regarding Omnissa layoffs

"What was the lesson there for those who stayed?"

Not OP but COVID happened. It was a terrible time to potentially IPO or sell a business.

Learn from the experience of the people who remain at BMC software, which was acquired in 2018.

What was the lesson there for those who stayed?

"We’re told to protect expenses to make us more profitable (as we're all owners)"

KKR's employee ownership benefit is a big lie. Learn from the experience of the people who remain at BMC software, which was acquired in 2018.

"But don’t worry we all get to watch the GTM plays virtually"

My prediction: our go-to-market strategy will continue to be based on aspirations that can't be fulfilled with the current sales and marketing leadership. Pure fantasy, no real substance.

I am happy to no longer be part of Omnissa, so many false promises very little product change just new sales leaderships that have no clue what our existing customers need.

Omnissa is now vaporware.

Their meeting outcome is predictable, with zero return on investment. Our leaders will refuse to acknowledge the obvious: Our products are of limited interest to customer decision-makers who have the budget to spend. KKR seems incapable of determining how to reboot growth, so they'll continue to cut headcount. We'll end up with a top-heavy org chart—too many administrators managing too few real workers.

Not to mention bens all expenses paid trip to go to Ireland so he can see St Patrick's day over there as employees are denied their pay rises and promotions while the employees are demanded into the office for his visit too.
