Will there be a continuation of layoffs tomorrow? I'll be honest, I'd rather have them be done with layoffs this week than have to wait once again for months to see what's going to happen. Now that they started it, they might as well finish it. I'm... — read more

We were told at 12pm CT our access will be turned off at 5pm CT and severance emails should be in our mailboxes by 1pm. Another lie from this doomed company!!!

The call I was on barely lasted 5 minutes and was basically, if you are on this call, you have been affected and today is your last day. HR will send you an email with more info, and for us it to forward to our personal email as we will be locked... — read more

Message from a higher up at one of Avaya’s “partners” is Avaya management meets tomorrow to communicate RIF details. Layoffs then take place Friday or Tuesday ( post Labor Day ).

Instead of having to listen to the rumors that are circulating, Avaya should finally become a little more transparent with us. Don't we deserve at least that much? But Avaya expects us to be maximally productive while thinking about the cuts that are... — read more

Up to 1600+ getting let go is the rumor. Anyone else hearing this as well?

I can't shake the impression that Avaya is very, very stuck in the past. The leadership simply has no vision for the company.
