Alix Partners will provide their final recommendation by December. Good luck to all. And God help us
Which Execs get fired first by the new CEO?
Chief Product Officer AJ gotta be the first to go Matt’s unqualified CRO butt gotta be 2nd Then it’s a little murky… Andy? New CEO probably wants to bring his own Panos/Jonathan?
Why is Five9 stock falling so sharply lately?
I’m trying to understand what’s driving the stock price down.
New board member
Could be our new CEO?
New SVP?
Are we getting a handle on our activist investor? Looks like we have a new SVP under the CFO.
FIVN is going to moon soon
Strap in, team - I’m leaving the company. Given my track record with money, this probably means you’re all about to become millionaires.
Take over rumors heating up
Senior management is quitely talking about the new CEO, yes they know who he'll be already, that will help merger Five9 with their company. The announcement will be made public by the end of the first quarter of 2026.
Analysts don’t believe our chief people officer either
I’m personal friends with some of the longstanding analyst community and today we are hosting our analyst briefings in Mexico. Ajay absolutely embarrassed himself from what they told me and now they question our long term product strategy. This guy... — read more
I know 3 people who have left just this week
Are we hiring backfills? These people work on AI. They work with customers. They manage people. People are pulling 10 hour work days. As we're constrained for CX Summit, we're simultaneously betraying our core contact center customers. We want to... — read more
Lowered Monthly Internet and Mobile Phone Exenses. What is next?
Seeing the note that we no longer get to expense our internet and the mobile phone stipend is lowered to $50 a month [for both in all]. What else will be lowered or cut?

Take this rubbish Chief Product Officer away
Nothing to say that has not been posted here already. spoke with him on multiple occasions. this guy is a joke. lot of blatant lies on his linkedin profile too. not much of a career trajectory either. mid level PM to getting kicked out of adobe to... — read more
Who is going to be the new CPO
Not excited about the current products, don’t see a path back to a $300 per share stock price. If Five9 is serious they need a new set of leaders
Who is going to be a new CEO?
Any guesses/rumors/gossips?
Do we hire Americans anymore?
I know we have job postings for California but I don't think I've seen any actual Americans get said positions.
Please someone acquire us in a merciful act
We cant handle a new CEO and all that comes with that.
I want to be laid off
I'd quit, but jobs are hard to come by and my savings are not that great. Getting a package would solve that issue for me.
It's too much
I feel completely overwhelmed here. Management treats every task as critical, so nothing has a real priority. There’s no way to do good work under this kind of pressure, but it doesn’t seem to matter to them. I’m not sure how much longer I can keep... — read more
Layoffs incoming imminently
Alixpartners has been very hard at work in the background. Be aware. If anyone has additional information feel free to please chime in.
Anyone know why some posts get deleted?
I saw 2 posts (specific to Ajay being horrendous of course) earlier and seems they are gone. Just curious if there are specific entries that say something that would warrant being policed or not.
Ajay Hires His Own
It's not family, so nepotism. But with the lawsuit...the board should be aware that Ajay has been hiring his own. This is not about race. He's hiring people that he knows has no experience in the industry, but only people he's known from past jobs... — read more
Is this a reach or possibly legit? Verint may be acquired soon.

Another layoff
Why is the all hands happening? Does anyone have any thoughts on what they are doing? Probably more layoffs right?

AJ is absent
Where is the CPO? Haven’t seen him on any of our customer calls and we’ve been getting those customers.
Five9 Insider trades
https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/FIVN/insider-trades/
They read our posts
It patiently obvious that the board and or there surrogates read these posts and surveys. When people here decried layoffs for just the proletariat, they appeased the masses by throwing them a few senior execs, all be it the wrong ones and none from... — read more
Sadly lower the stock goes, more the cuts/layoffs
Sad state of affairs. And there is no end in sight.
Laid off in March and still looking for a job
I’ve made it to final rounds more than once only to be turned down over things that don’t even make sense. It’s wearing me down. I miss my job and I miss my coworkers. And I really miss having a steady paycheck. Being laid off can really mess up your... — read more
Did new layoffs start?
Rumor has it Five9 started firing folks without severance. The new tactic is fake performance based reviews mentioned earlier?
I don't think it's delusional to be hopeful?
Many leadership changes. Hopeful for the change it will bring. Indeed, Ajay is problem. BUT beyond that the top change of CEO could be good.
So...
A lot has changed at Five9 leadership level since i was let go in April. What’s the ground reality? As long as AJ and Panos are around y’all are doomed. Get out while you can. I also see Matty T's friends got promoted. What a sh-tshow. Hehehehe
So Tuckness Can Handle 25 Direct Reports?
Because that's how many he has now...
Mike take your EVP Staff with you when you go!
Grossly incompetent EVP staff that is driving the business into the ground
New CEO means what?
Fewer layoffs?
Remove personal files from company computer
They can read your personal files and when they let you go they'll lock down your computer and won't let you get anything off it. Happened to a co-worker last layoff
How many people are actually being replaced by AI?
I’d bet most of these jobs are just being offshored to cheaper labor. Not that it makes much difference, we end up jobless either way, but it’d be nice to know the truth. There’s just too much gaslighting going on.
More layoffs coming despite Mike leaving
I'm sure all of you have noticed that the trend now is to lay people off and replace them with somebody in India or the Philippines. Do yourself a favor, get your resume up to snuff because chances are good, especially if you didn't get the best... — read more

On Mike’s way out he promoted the godson and cleaned house with his directs, yet the least useful guy running product lives on?
How in the world is this guy not at the top of the list of people who are not adding value that need to be removed? Putting aside the ridiculous new CRO title- as long as Ajay is around this place is going NOWHERE!
