Layoffs have just ended a few weeks ago and I'm already seeing job openings for the same positions that were cut. This makes me so mad - it was never about saving costs on laying off bad performers. Instead, it was all about getting rid of the best... —  read more 

Obligatory email last week announcing head of HR was "leaving", a roundabout way of saying she was forced out or was invited to resign. Watch for more cuts coming soon - it's earning season - and announcements of job expansion in India. New CEO... —  read more 

15+ UK based Support Team employees laid off. Most have been supporting customers for over 10 years!

New Synamedia building in Jerusalem is half the size of the old one because over half the employees have left or been let go. When will this down spiral end?

Realize this ... there won’t be better days. Look at the industry you’re in. Look at the trends in video, look at your competitors, and then look at what you are building. Look at who is leading. What is your plan? Figure that out before you start... —  read more 

Synamedia is in a death spiral thanks to leadership in finance. They do not understand the business or the importance of “industry related experience” or “subject matter expertise” so they’re laying off skilled, experienced developers to replace... —  read more 

So LWR is looking for a new home. Contenders - an abandoned WinnDixie and 3 closed down RadioShack stores.

Clueless Sales team. Lost major service contract with key US MSO. Influencers on customer side were unaware contract was not renewed until sales team contacted them after the fact. Huge miss, sales tries to downplay it. Best of luck trying to make up... —  read more 

How is this week looking?

Things do not look good for Synamedia now

I know about 7, there are more.

There are rumors of more cuts in LWR, I am not sure how many there are.

In many other cases the new CEO comes in to fix problems, so I wonder if there will be any good solutions for the company. I think Synamedia needs some good changes but I'm not sure what to expect from leadership changes at the top. Any thoughts on... —  read more 

It's really quiet today, so for once in my life I'm going to be optimistic and say we might be done with this round finally.

Are cuts done for now or will there be more next week?

But will Lawrenceville be OK? Who cares.

Layoffs in LWR last week. Half of our team got hit. No mention of it in the quarterly meeting a week ago. "Things are moving along as planned and we are executing, and gaining new customers, bla, bla, bla." If you work in LWR, looks like the plan... —  read more 

Any news if this is being paid and when.

Technicolor stock price down 98% in the last 5 years. Still trending down. Which will be the first to be gone from this earth, Synamedia or Technicolor ? They're in a big dogfight to try and be the first. My money is on Synamedia. Somebody... —  read more 

Rumors circulating more cuts happening this week, LWR losing more to NDS 2.0 mis-management.

With 6 buildings to share among the remaining 13 employees, everyone can have their own floor

old cto goes back to sales new cto takes over the engineering some execs leave what does it mean for we, the people?

So. After the "no bonus" surprise and the promise of pay-rises and adjustments in January which was then delayed to March (though backdated to January), are you all pleased? I would call it "constructive dismissal". After 6 years stagnation in... —  read more 

Yesterday Synamedia leaders decided to balance the books with another LR. LWR affected across all levels. Other locations as well?? Rumors are yes. For those keeping score: • 1.5 years on and no accounting system to capture revenues / expenses /... —  read more

ST and MS are gone so no one high up the org left on site. Israel being built up as the center of the company so will grab back Infinite. Staines already in bed with Sky so will take any of that work remaining. Once Cisco TSAs are complete and... —  read more 

What are you working on?

Is all we need to know.

It’s the start of a new year. Let’s mark it with some great ideas on where we should go now. What do you think are the big things that need to change? What’s holding us back? What are the big opportunities that we should push for? And..... go. —  read more 

New landlord soon. Will be converted to work live play complex.

There is some drama here. Do they stick it out?

Did I miss something? Still alive...

Layoffs have been frozen and we are now hiring again in the US and Canada. I was being asked to cut a couple people from my team but that is no longer the case.

Did you read the email yet? Could not help myself. 1 year of lies. “Earned the trust of customers”!!! What trust? Customers are leaving. Is that what you call trust. Maybe you earned customers trust but lost employees trust. Hooray for... —  read more 

Astro is my favourite customer. Who is yours?

At Cisco I got RSU grant and bonus every year, at Synamedia we just get base pay. So, I have taken about a 30% paycut this year, how much did you lose this year?

Sales is brought on another person and Delivery is hired another manager. This is not sitting well with a lot of people considering so many are about to loose their jobs within the next week or two. How about we bring on Software Engineers to... —  read more 

I was spit out to L&T and brought back in. The pay is great, we are getting a new office in Costa Mesa, and the work is pretty interesting. I have been sitting on the sidelines for a while now, watching all of you whine and moan, but enough is... —  read more
