Thread regarding Avaya layoffs

UK Office Closure

Jeez, the once great UK territory now closing its last office (London) and what's left of the workforce is now going to be WFH - what a sad indictment of disastrous leadership past and present.....

Obviously, a few people have completely missed the point. This isn't about RTO versus WFH. It's about getting rid of more and more staff because there is no business to support retaining them. Tower 42 was, at least recently, a client hub which, if you have fewer clients, is no longer required. Something else that is obvious is that there are a few people posting on here who have limited or no engagement with clients or experience implementing Avaya technologies. If they had the experience then they would know how absolutely terrible most of our products are...out dated and lacking the proper development and engineering support.

This is really sad to read, as an ex Avayan, i think it’s more about what it symbolises as opposed to the WFH rhetoric.

Guildford and tower42 will always be well remembered

I hope my ex colleagues find a new home or get a big payoff!

DONT BE A DiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiCk

This isn't about WFH. This is about the significance of the region no longer having an anchor. The kind of anchor that is typically REQUIRED by clients. It is symbolic of the end. Clients know this. Clients will flee. The G1500 exercise was a failure 6 mos before they even rolled it out.

Who cares about offices? Talk about behind. People have wanted wfh for years now and get mad about going back to the office. I don’t share your view on this one at all.

DPTW, Speed of Trust, RTO cannot overcome poor leadership, being behind on cloud by at least 4-5 years, and an expanding competitive marketplace.
There are few physical offices anywhere globally anymore.
Sad. Just sad.

The recent history of completely shambolic engagements with UK clients means that the demise of the UK business should be a surprise to no one. The poor quality of the product and lack of support overwhelms the efforts of a number of excellent Avayians.
