Thread regarding Avaya layoffs

You think KM CFO was bad...AO is literally clueless

There are leaders.
There are followers.
Then there are "Fake It Until You Make It" faux leaders who have no idea how to lead so they take the path of least resistance. Hire outside consultants and follow the easy way out.

What's the point in having AMs vast experience if he is just allowing his team to blindly follow outside consultants random direction?

As someone else said on here, cutting to find money so they can then acquire will not serve existing clients well. Revenue will shatter. Why not invest in the now to then earn the tomorrow?

Perhaps you should have credited WB Yeats - The Second Coming
"The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity."

Unfortunately in the case of Avaya, the rough beast has already been born.

So many of these moves are contradictory.
If Avaya is serious about revenue, do they understand that they literally just lit the match to burn cash?

Manipulate to achieve BK, but now claim mother Theresa values? Something doesn't smell right and I fear this will backfire. Significantly backfire.

Why do I feel like SS is still in the control room?

With a background in Finance roles for Durable Medical Equipment, divisional finance person for Black & Decker and a brief stint at weight watchers, it is difficult to grasp her ability to understand Savas. Let alone B2B SaaS.

Majority of the great people left the company years ago. We had the BEST Call Center and Unified Communication experts and the ones that were smart left to Cisco, Microsoft and Genesys when they saw the writing on the wall. They got tired of getting no raises, no pay increases and awful upper management. I can personally say during the 2015-2016 bankruptcy, many of the people I would call asking for help went to competitors and they make the right decision.

The problem with this company is that intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

BECAUSE, they believed Zoom would buy them. And it crashed and burned.
So now they are so scared from the rejection they have to go out and prove something.
Which goes against the whole "innovation without disruption" claim.
Lots of contradiction.
Real victims here. Avaya legacy clients.
