Very little layoffs chatter here. I have a feeling I'm getting lulled into a false sense of job security lately with Avaya. Usually this should be a good thing, but what can I say, I guess all the previous years with the company have made me somewhat... read more

Is it good to join Avaya in India now? I came across this blog while researching for Avaya. How much average hike an employee get every year? How is the management and HR policies. Any help would be really appreciated.

Finally made the decision to leave this place. Considering Avaya turned into a joke lately, I'm certain I made the right decision. So much nepotism, so much b---s--- politics to wade through... This company is sinking and it will take all of you down... read more

Please reply.

Avaya declared record revenue but based on corridor conversations AIP and Accolades was less than last year which we got during bankruptcy. Couldn't understand why existing employees are not getting paid.

As far as i can tell there was no declared surpluses in 2018 in any gca anywhere. Can anyone confirm if my post is accurate? I haven't heard of one area laying off technicians ( craft union workers) not pune .

Avaya bought Spoken in Jan 2018. We paid $180M for what we were told is a CCaaSS leader. All what we got is a website, powerpoint slides and a few below average employees. I wonder what kind of due deligence the M&A team had done before they paid... read more

So when Avaya HR announced a global talent exchange program to relocate employees among Avaya locations to “share knowledge among employees” and all, I said not bad, sounds like a good idea. But when one discover that one of the first beneficiaries... read more

Have December layoffs started already? It's hard to believe that only one person (one of the below threads) was notified today. It's either somebody trolling or there have been more notifications sent out, and we just haven't heard about them yet. If... read more

Was just given 60 days notice if nobody retires im done. Anyone else get the email?

Is it really happening?

When a company purposely squeezes every nickel from partners and end user customers and then files chapter 11 to renegotiate it's debt and then emerges as a public company to raise more cash to operate with no change in culture or solution mix, one... read more

Pune finance guy has resigned after more than 20 years now does it mean financial conditions are not good?

Disinvestment very likely. Avaya's stock prices are all time low. Be prepared for layoffs.

It's really annoying to see how many same mistakes are being repeated at Avaya that pushed us into Chapter 11 in the first place. Upper management is running things with no real direction. They make decisions as if they have no idea what is it that... read more

Been hearing from several different sources that December layoffs might not be just a rumor, but nobody was able to provide any details on it - how many will be laid off, where, what departments... I was hoping somebody here could have some more info... read more

One would think, considering that Avaya is emerging as a reinvented company, that it would need to attract new talent and retain the one it has, but it seems that the management is doing exactly the opposite. I mean, who in their right mind would... read more

What a load of bull.

In an official statement, the company confirmed that Gaurav Passi is joining Avaya as president of its cloud business division. The new president of Avaya Cloud has over a decade of experience as an executive in cloud-related companies and judging by... read more

The Pune Sr. Managers and Directors are very c-ap. They would occupy a cabin and rest in peace. They would also provide comfortable seating to the near and dear ones. No set criteria for allocating manager cubicle. Respect senior employees and... read more

AT&T eyeing for Avaya again. After merger AT&T will have highest stake in Avaya but it will keep it as a separate independent entity.

It's gonna be a catastrophic event. HUGE Layoffs will occur in December followed by organizational changes and site consolidation announcements. Keep watching this space for the updates.

Zang was supposed to be wheel-of-fortune for Avaya. What happened????

This is supposed to build cultural intelligence to enhance productivity. New Game.... Who wanna part of it.....

Funny how things come full circle, especially in the Northeast. I can say first hand from experience those techs do not deserve a package at all. Bunch of cowards. Words of wisdom to the new management, MA and CT techs can’t be trusted, trust me when... read more

Happy new FY,avayans. How has it been for you? Did you enjoy it as much as I did? year started with the acquisition of spoken. personally think it’s utter rubbish. The US folks have now a phrase for it: Spoken is Broken. But that’s Avaya for you... read more

These systems are going to be returning that's what i hear. Anyone not fluent in these systems will be let go and declared a surplus employee. Not sure if i can learn this technology in time.

His arrival was incredibly hyped but he lasted all but 8 months here. Where do you guys think the company goes next?

I see 'herd mentality' around Avaya. Nowadays all the fuss at Avaya is about Devops, Agile and Cloud and that's because industry is moving towards it. The one who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. And Avaya will surely... read more
