Ever since, well before she even joined, ML has been telling openly or quietly that she will eventually take AMs seat. What happened? Does anyone know what was taking place behind the scenes?

This question better be asked to the ethics and compliance committee as well as HR & legal, been quite busy in the past 9 months cleaning up the carnage and mess she leaves behind every time she opens her mouth. This board seems to have missed vetting her before joining. She was fired from genesys due to multiple HR and compliance cases, and she has carbon copied her toxic, sick playbook at Avaya.
Has anyone noticed that the paid-off analysts couldn't even be paid-off to waxing poetic about a certain few?
The thing about Analysts is that they see A LOT across vendors. And when one person hops repeatedly and has the same issues at every stop; they know its not 'situational", its the person.
I understand one CRO worked hard to soften opinions during the analyst event just prior to Engage. However, said CRO refuses to hear opinions or feedback. Just beleives a title is all that is necessary to earn respect. Apparently the Analysts responded with how much they loved NA-L.
It is painful that the analysts don't use their efforts to be more objective and more transparent. The system needs to change as they post and write to satisfy an agreed upon amount of placements when hired by corporate communications. The strategy is tired. The worst part is that it is just blowing money in the wind. Clients don't read or follow. Just other analysts and employees and ex employees from the companies that pay off the analysts. However, they apparently held their ground with ML. They won't budge with her. Reputation is that bad. That says it all.
Post ID: @1qfv+1tCvJV20 Said it perfectly.
She was given the keys as a Airbnb guest; not as the property owner. Yet not only did she behave as if she was the property owner, she created imaginary wars. She plotted imaginary battles and pursued vengence where there was no need. She likely carried over old wounds from previous roles and misfired the bo--s. Maybe she would have been fine had she not immediately brought over the very loud and most gossiping VD. VD is who exposed this all initially. Had she Waited. Observed. Studied. Trusted. Maybe she would have seen a probable scenario where she could have leveraged many wise experiences along with her own industry vantage view to have developed an unbeatable strategy to not only preserve market share but become the go-to for net new opportunities. Lastly. And most damning. She aligned with SS. Believed that vindictive, unethical style was acceptable at Avaya. Rounded out the inflammatory style with embracing the always toxic ST. Essentially, a reciepe for disaster.
As a previous comment brought up earlier, ML behaved like a bull in a china shop: the super-expensive hires she made/tried to make, he brutally rude approach towards certain “old guard” Avayans, supporting unpopular figures like ST and AO, and he brashness overall. Later, she and her team got the restructuring numbers all fudged up. The board was told it will cost x, not its at least 20% above x. Revenue projections not looking good in Q4 and Q1 also didn’t help.
She will “retire” soon.
Based on Alan's record I'm sure he lied to her like he did to everyone else.
