Thread regarding Avaya layoffs

1. UK & EMEA cuts coming. Office closures and bare bone operating staff
2. India & LATAM continues to see cuts
3. Anyone not associated with a G600 or so client are quietly disappearing
4. Clients are leaving in droves. The P&L can't keep pace with the rapid decline in renewals and the lack of new customers.
5. MANY Public Sector clients are breaking contracts. They will succeed, even with Avaya attorneys attempting to sue. All gov contracts have clauses about the size, breadth, depth and scope of a vendor. If vendor changes their scope, they violate the terms.
6. Absolutely NO new clients coming on board
7. Zoom is cutting people. So are all the other players. Avaya price, as per Apollo, is too high for any of them to even consider taking on the debt or the lack of talent that remains. No product development. No need to acquire Avaya.

Anyone have thoughts on the 800 million avaya owes that has to be paid back in 2028? Im thinking this will put off potential buyers :/

I 💜❤️ This Page! I especially love this 🧵! Keep the unvarnished FACTS coming. NO MORE BS!

Are we done with people migrating to ICS? What about legacy GSS?

Good to see PD has adopted KK brand of damage control ---
"IN YOUR FACE FOOLISHNESS Foolery"

Don't forget. One person is both CEO AND Chairman of Board. While a hired g-n of Apollo, he still has unchecked power on a daily basis.

Chairman of the Board (CoB) when they had zero awareness of how rapidly revenue was evaporating. Then authorized the downsizing of people which led to even faster client departures. They feel helpless because they are. It's a runaway train now. And correct. Absolutely NO Buyers. And C1 can't even pony up money to buy services.

No buyers and don't be delusional to think a White Knight exists..

I like the guy that still believes the company thinks he's busy when his schedules been open for months..

you've been warned<

😳. Leadership threatening Free Speech? What about America First, Free Speech and all of that from your boy Trump?
OR the RIGHTS of Employees to be able to speak freely WITHOUT Retaliation as per the Labor Laws?

By the way PD. Just b/c you were "annointed" into a faux leadership role doesn't make it YOUR Company! Yes. YOU want YOUR Payday.

You really think we want to make that easy for you? We want OUR JOBS! You are doing NOTHING to SECURE OUR JOBS!

GO TO THE DEPTHS OF THE HE -- 🏒🏒 Pond you came from and 🛑 destroying Avaya and OUR JOBS!

Wanting to be sold and selling are TWO VERY DIFFERENT THINGS.

In the world of Apollo & Bain, rules are different. So, it really is a FY calendar driven math equation.

✓ Ideal scenario -- Sell to highest bidder. Recoup investment. Move on. No buyer available, then....
✓ P/L Write Off Game. What does the rest of the Apollo portfolio look like this year? Is there a need to balance out profits with a loss ✍️ off? Does Apollo gain more dumping and writing it off then getting a low ball offer? Is there value in merging with another Apollo company? Can they trade debt with a Mitel to make something happen? What do they owe Bain? Is Bain given rights of first refusal? Is Chapter 7 a benefit to the Apollo/Brigade/Bain world this particular FY?

Bottom line. There is zero "Zoom needs to buy Avaya" or "MSFT wants to buy Avaya" discussions going on. The only way either of those 2 brands comes into play is IF they have a bigger play going on with Apollo or Bain. Not for any other reason.

They are surely going to be sold out in next few months…who is the lucky winner thats the big question?

Avaya leadership are doing a good job hurting the company.

Well that worked. Friendly reminder posting here hurts the company. Given all the surveillance from people that aren’t employees. You’ve been warned. This forum is not our friend.

Have to admit the guys pretty good at getting around sensors.

Mitel is in trouble with their inability to get the kind of deal that Avaya got.
Buyers are not buying.
Market is in turmoil.
There does not appear to be an opportunity for Avaya to create a "news worthy" "strategy and we must face the music of living like a real business where we must accept our lack of revenue and can't cover it up with "alliances", "debt rebalancing" or a sell off.

"It's OURS".....?????????<

🤣😭😂😂😁😁😊🤣😭

Sorry Charlie! "IT" is The Leveraged Debt Holders. And 'IT" doesn't exist without the CLIENTS.

Do everyone a favor and resign immediately Avaya-hole.

As someone who spent nearly a decade with Avaya and still have friends who work there, I most certainly have a right to be here so pi-s right off you f-kwad.

If you worked here you would know. Get out of our feed. It’s ours and you’re not welcome here.
