In case anyone missed it, David Bonderman, the idiot who destroyed Avaya, was forced to resign from Uber's board, per WSJ. Seems he disparaged women, in response to a comment by, get this... Arianna Huffington. The comment was made during an "all-... — read more 

Liquidation is coming. Soon. Creditors are done negotiating. All the flowery, positive sounding rhetoric from Corporate is just nonsense so people will keep working. The "leaders" should at least have enough respect for all the loyal Avaya people to... — read more 

Avaya filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court a motion seeking entry of an order approving the Debtors’ 3Q-4Q 2017 Key Employee Incentive Program (KEIP). The motion explains, “The Debtors request entry of an order approving the Debtors’ 3Q-4Q 2017 Key... — read more

The Cisco and Genesys teams are checking, and creating/contributing to, the negativity on these message boards daily as a FUD/sales strategy. I know because I'm one of them. I feel bad for my ex-Avaya coworkers that are taking this stuff seriously... — read more 

I heard at the Santa Clara office that an agreement and alignment has been reached between the stakeholders and final proposal will be made by end of this month. And we shall come out of bankruptcy by July end.

Now these guys are quite after getting the salary hike. No more new rumors and suddenly it feels everything is just right at Avaya. What a World we Live in????

Has anyone received theirs yet?

As one of the networking unfortunates who did not get an offer from Extreme, I can only say that it's a pitty that the leadership of BOTH companies didn't have the freaking common sense to look beyond a person's job title and location before making... — read more 

Everyone should fight for their bonus and increment as what the executives asked for their bonus. Pity those that stay and still committed without getting theirs. Pathetic management, pathetic company.

How likely is that Oracle will be acquiring Avaya any time soon?

we haven't received the annualappraisal letters yet..... not sure why so much delay or Are we not getting it at all? Did someone asked their managers? My manager in pune said he is waiting for a go ahead from HR.

Has anyone been informed by managers if extreme is rolling out an offer - also has any one recieved an offer yet - what about home office is that a valid option

Remember that the Extreme APA stated that at least 50% of the people will be retained? Well that also means that up to 49% probably won't be. It's happening now - this week.

What should we expect? Salary hike or layoffs. We have not yet received anticipated salary hike letters in India. Why so much delay? This is not business as usual. Do you have any clue? Please update....

So Avaya networking was worth only $100M. Isn't it too bad? And there were no bidders at all. This clearly shows how poor was Avaya's networking business. And now I am pretty convinced that other products UC and CC of Avaya would follow the same. The... — read more 

Extreme wants the customers. They'll only keep the technology long enough to placate the fears of the current Avaya/Nortel install base. Some features may get migrated into XOS (Extreme Operation System), but the Avaya technology lines will die a... — read more

I saw a thread here earlier, but it seems to be missing now. Is this site administrated?

Would like to understand how Oracle has a interest in this ? http://www.reuters.com/article/bankruptcy-avaya-idUSL2N1IK2FI

Lot of Super Heroes (Top Performers) have left and are continually leaving Avaya. Why? Only because they now understand that its end of Avaya. Otherwise it is not easy to leave a progressive company when you have worked with all your heart and soul.

So do we have other bidders for Networking or extreme networks is the winner

Haven't you seen the wonderful 2nd quarter financial results? Results were stronger than the expectations. Now keep your mouth shut and remember Avaya will emerge stronger and better after Chapter 11. This is a slap on the face of the people who are... — read more

Avaya IT in US2 Datacenter got badly hit by Wannacry virus. But, our management asked us to stay quite and not to report it to leadership. We are asked to quickly rebuild the systems from backups as Avaya do not negotiate with hackers.
