Thread regarding DIRECTV layoffs

Layoffs happened on Monday. Infuriating

At least four executives were laid off on Friday, including one VP with 25 years at the company and instrumental in the launch of the MySports service announced on Tuesday. What an insane message to our employees to celebrate that innovative launch by letting go the employee that led the strategy. Asinine. The Chief Customer service officer was let go and also the VP over analytics.

Employees are shocked and PI---D off. Massive morale ki-ler. Makes zero sense and confidence level in leadership is GONE!!

There you go. No need for marketing to bring in new business. DTV is on survival mode, maintain and try not to lose to many.

Get rid of the SVP over engineering. No people skills and just wants sycophants on his team. They should have kept the former SVP over SWE he was really good, but they forced him to retire.

Those middle managers should be laid off as well—they're completely incompetent.

There was confidence in the leadership before this continued mess? Very funny :) Like the masses leaving this sinking ship of Directv.

Was the uninspiring VP (JW) with the rocket science degree from Stanford laid off? His calls are terrible with non stop mono tone droning on about meaningless goals.
