I heard big layoffs in GCA 104. Not just craft management too. Is this true?

So Wall Street expected earnings of $.72 per share, we ended up LOSING $.12 per share.....wow. Now stocks are tanking and we are supposed to tell customers what?

Heard that annual appraisals in India will be bad this year? Please do update genuine percentage hike and location for sake of everyone else.

Can we get competitive salary in other companies? Is it worth to stay at Avaya after hearing auction news? I don't know it is good or bad for Avaya but for employees these kind of changes has always been disaster.

So far nothing, at least nothing that I've heard off. Since it's nearly the end of the month, does that mean that rumor turned out to be exactly that - just a rumor? Or should I be worried about what might happen this week?

I'm done waiting for Avaya to lay me off or fire me (something else they've started doing more frequently.) I'm leaving this place and never intend to look back. i can't tell you what relief I felt when I finally made this decision. My advice to... — read more

Why Avaya Employees are not happy with their work? I see so much negativity across the floor at Pune office. Every other person I meet wants to get hold of any new opportunity outside Avaya as soon as possible. This is extremely bad culture.

Very little layoffs chatter here. I have a feeling I'm getting lulled into a false sense of job security lately with Avaya. Usually this should be a good thing, but what can I say, I guess all the previous years with the company have made me somewhat... — read more 

Is it good to join Avaya in India now? I came across this blog while researching for Avaya. How much average hike an employee get every year? How is the management and HR policies. Any help would be really appreciated.

Avaya declared record revenue but based on corridor conversations AIP and Accolades was less than last year which we got during bankruptcy. Couldn't understand why existing employees are not getting paid.

As far as i can tell there was no declared surpluses in 2018 in any gca anywhere. Can anyone confirm if my post is accurate? I haven't heard of one area laying off technicians ( craft union workers) not pune .

Avaya bought Spoken in Jan 2018. We paid $180M for what we were told is a CCaaSS leader. All what we got is a website, powerpoint slides and a few below average employees. I wonder what kind of due deligence the M&A team had done before they paid... — read more

Disinvestment very likely. Avaya's stock prices are all time low. Be prepared for layoffs.

It's really annoying to see how many same mistakes are being repeated at Avaya that pushed us into Chapter 11 in the first place. Upper management is running things with no real direction. They make decisions as if they have no idea what is it that... — read more
