Thread regarding Five9 Inc. layoffs

A message for the new CEO

Welcome. Please understand how damaging and unqualified a chief product officer you have and make the right decision for the company to remove them as fast as you can. Previous leadership didn’t want to admit they made a bad decision and some of the damage being done is irreversible. Just scroll through this site for the past year and you’ll see many examples of this (of those that don’t get deleted). Not only are they inept from a technological standpoint but they are oddly dangerous from an HR standpoint. Just ask the women in his org. Have one real hour long unscripted conversation with him (or even better attend a customer meeting where real world needs are being discussed) and decide for yourself if he says anything that actually makes sense or if it’s a mess of buzz words and avoiding taking a real stance on any strategic direction.

@ax In full agreement. An effort to update the product suite, shake up management, etc. needed to happen two years ago, minimum. It is way too late for all of this. This is a zombie company at this point.

@OP while I 110% agree with you. It’s all too late. Nails are in the coffin and already buried.

@a6 I just saw a reply on Shiela McGee's post that he's a ThomaBravo guy. That's a little scary for us.
