Thread regarding Insight Enterprises Inc. layoffs

Broadcom Bombs Away

Well that did not take long for Snack-Attack to sc--w up that relationship, or maybe it was Prashant Prashant Prashant that messed this one up. So much for all that bravado and boringness. Knowing nothing about how the channel works is sure to create some holes in the pocket, watch those pennies spill out. More earnings woes in store, can't fill a revenue whole fast enough for the Q4 hit. Someone is playing 4D Chess and we can only fathom 2D, if that. Maybe it was the pinnacle of it all, we have seen pinnacle moments before, look what happened with that. It was the pinnacle of my career.. LOL. Remember? Memory loss?

I know let's throw the CTO at them so he can um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um them to death. Or maybe the CFO and he can blind them with some tacky Fuchsia socks and large medallions made of fake gold to WIN WIN WIN WIN WINNIG!! Maybe Jack can attack with the pledge pin loaded with laser beams!

It's just so hard to really root root root for this place when they have been firing dedicated people for YEARS based on management's own mistakes, loyalty takes a hit, morale declines a bit more day by day, it's getting stale and OLD, just like the C-Suite here. You know, pushing out more folks to make more room for every over 50+ years old Cisco sellers walking in the door every week.

@OP Other partners have dialed back resources dedicated to Insight. They monitor partner performance like hawks on prey. It has nothing to do with how many specialists you have or badges of certification you have, it's about trust, consistency and leadership alignment. Not a lot of that happening around here. OEM comments were such as "can't tell what they are doing, performance is well down vs. their control group", "they keep changing strategy, they are all over the place"... The best was a very large partner stating.... "we have kind of given up since they can not fathom on knowing how to take advantage of the programs already in place, even though we have explained it more than a dozen times.."

Tech is a small world, word gets out, it reverberates very quickly. While we think that we are buddy buddies with some of the goliaths is in the industry, just look who is getting all the premiere opportunities with the OEMs. It's not Insight.

This was news at one of the partner VMware events this Spring. Strange it took so long to hit the press, but here we are.

Uncertain if it impacts other BCOM LOBs like Security and Brocade.
