So many lies in one short Q&A session.

They've known all along that they need to pay people at or above the market rate - yet they've given no pay rises in years. Supposedly there was no money for it, yet they could easily give the new CEO a $10 million bonus in the middle of the bankruptcy.

But of course they can't give pay rises until they've finished sorting out the job titles, something that a couple of people in HR could have done in a few days, but which of course they needed to hire an external company for, so they could drag it out for as long as possible.

Still, they're on target for a small bonus, such a great achievement when all the bonus targets have always just been made up.

Meanwhile, they're trying to foster a culture of trust by making the employees do training on how to trick people into trusting you - all while most employees already trust each other, it's just the executives and CEO that no one trusts.

Avaya has been a mess for the past 5-10 year. JC, SS and KM decimated the company because none of them have a creative or visionary bone in their body. They laid the foundation for a culture of mediocrity. There is no roadmap, the new leadership can’t spell cloud much less cultivate a cloud company. The board is just as blind. So, let’s form a relationship with zoom since we burned the relationship with RingCentral. The company has not assets or legitimate IP. The only value is there enterprise customers or what’s left of them. Someone bail them out by giving them 10 cents on the $ for their customer list and move on. Do us all a favor.

They will give raises eventually (most likely 3-5% if we are lucky) but it will not be enough to make up for the years of not getting them.

At other companies, they give raises every year and this is not based off performance, but Cost of Living. In Avaya, they give a raise every 5ish years and it is always your manager saying "I fought really hard for this, I know its not a lot, but its something".

A manager told me this a few years ago, if you want to get paid at Avaya, the only thing you can do is leave and come back to you get rehired at the new market rate. As we have all seen, many Avaya people leave and come back within 2-4 years because of this.

Is ML allowed to post on here and put down all Avayan's?

Mother Teresa said, “Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent, anyway.”

Except when $10 million dollars is on the table.

Unpopular opinion: I’m tired of reading comments about Alan’s 10 million dollar bonus. Most of you don’t deserve a pay raise and shouldn’t be so entitled to one because your skills have diminished beyond your current market value.
