Thread regarding Avaya layoffs

Less is More, Finally!

There is a lot that we can be frustrated with; however, let's give credit where credit is due.

I am no longer fearful of that moment when I view a planted narrative in some industry publication. It was so painful to be going through the past 18 months or so and suddenly view a campaign/story/post that just made Avaya appear foolish to partners/clients/general market. (You all know what I mean. "Avaya is a Bed of Roses" or the one that seemed to go on endlessly about Superheros, that even partners used as part of their so-called 'content' from Avaya).

Proof is certainly in the Pudding. There is little coming out. And we look so much better for it.

It's almost as if people's KPIs were based simply on pushing junk out without any regard to the market impact. I bet we have saved a lot of $$$ by not paying the army of industry analysts to fly for free/eat and lodge for free/ and sometimes also collect monthly stipend to write slanted stories about us that no one trusted anyway.

"content" game is noise.
Just do something important and then report it. Don't make up BS under the guise of BS KPI "content"

New CMO knows what he is doing. Not sure why he joined and I bet he leaves the first time a competitor tries to lure him away.

The right thing to do is to nudge them to show that better content gets more engagement don’t y’all think?

The talking heads were all at the ready ..
But at least there was purpose to their posts. Not the "Bed of 🌹" babble or preposterous posturing and planted narratives.

"more capability" obviously said by someone who doesn't know the limited feature set available in current cloud solution.

The cloud space allows more capability with fewer employees. Avaya could probably cut that in half as they continue to move to a pure cloud model. More cuts to come.

Strategic alliance with zoom makes sense when we have ACO and RC uses Zoom for that. Consistency. A breath of fresh air.
