It's bizarro world at Avaya. Channel gets to spend and entertain via marketing dollars. Elton John concerts. Partner activities like NASCAR. Baseball games. Waterfront dining. It's endless. Lipstick on a Pig! Why don't you fix the pig instead?... —  read more 

Everyone I know who left here says they are much happier now and have better jobs. I'm glad to hear it, but I'm wondering if there are those who accepted some not so good options after leaving Avaya? Looks like I'll have to become one of them. —  read more 

Most curious how such a post was allowed to be removed. This is THE Layoff .com. And Avaya layoffs have all been precipitated by "business update" emails. 🙏for our EIRE friends.

What a farce…

Anyone have any thoughts on the announcement that Simon Harrison is leaving Avaya?

I have 3 questions: is there a vendor in the world who has this job? What do they do? Apart from being Alan’s sweetheart, how does ST add any value to the business?

To begin the 🧵 --- We have a General Counsel (now ex GC but still C-Suite) who never did any proper 'lawyering', and a selfie 🤳 obsessed personal brand wanna be who is pretending to know lawyering. The layers of ridiculousness in Avaya land never... —  read more 

If my memory serves me right, AM promised employees with a management investment program, 10% of the shares of Avaya post exiting chapter 11. Where is my cut?

The way our boss tries to raise our morale is totally wrong - by fear management and telling that we should feel lucky that we still have a job here at all. Do they really think that fear management can still motivate someone to give their best and... —  read more 

Trust the marketing team has been aware of the appointment for some time, even though it needed to be quiet during Chapter 11. Why still quiet publicly?

Avaya employees (mostly marketing) posting tweets about their Employee Appreciation Dayoff today as thousands of their former collegues were laid off. Learn to read the room as these people are clueless.

How the he-l did all of those terrible awful despicable sales leaders land new leadership roles? Is there a recruiting firm who specializes in placing people who crashed and burned at Avaya? There are a lot of victims in the wake of Avaya. Those... —  read more

Well Avaya friends it’s taken a round trip of 10,000 miles for me to accept that Avaya isn’t and won’t be the “Destination Place To Work“ and really don’t know how many more times I needed to hear that phrase but luckily I had my partner with me to... —  read more
