Synamedia is in a death spiral thanks to leadership in finance. They do not understand the business or the importance of “industry related experience” or “subject matter expertise” so they’re laying off skilled, experienced developers to replace... — read more
LWR - Officially relocating to...wait for it...LWR
So LWR is looking for a new home. Contenders - an abandoned WinnDixie and 3 closed down RadioShack stores.
Synamedia Loses Major Services Contract
Clueless Sales team. Lost major service contract with key US MSO. Influencers on customer side were unaware contract was not renewed until sales team contacted them after the fact. Huge miss, sales tries to downplay it. Best of luck trying to make up... — read more
More cuts?
How is this week looking?
At least 25 fired or resigned in IL & UK in the past few months
Things do not look good for Synamedia now
Big hit in Israel today.
I know about 7, there are more.
Even more in LWR
There are rumors of more cuts in LWR, I am not sure how many there are.
Changes to be expected?
In many other cases the new CEO comes in to fix problems, so I wonder if there will be any good solutions for the company. I think Synamedia needs some good changes but I'm not sure what to expect from leadership changes at the top. Any thoughts on... — read more
I think we might be done
It's really quiet today, so for once in my life I'm going to be optimistic and say we might be done with this round finally.
What about next week?
Are cuts done for now or will there be more next week?
Another 10% got chopped yesterday
But will Lawrenceville be OK? Who cares.
Lawrenceville Layoffs
Layoffs in LWR last week. Half of our team got hit. No mention of it in the quarterly meeting a week ago. "Things are moving along as planned and we are executing, and gaining new customers, bla, bla, bla." If you work in LWR, looks like the plan... — read more
Bonus Payments
Any news if this is being paid and when.
Synamedia vs. Technicolor: The Race To The End
Technicolor stock price down 98% in the last 5 years. Still trending down. Which will be the first to be gone from this earth, Synamedia or Technicolor ? They're in a big dogfight to try and be the first. My money is on Synamedia. Somebody... — read more

Lawrenceville well positioned for back to the office in a post COVID world
With 6 buildings to share among the remaining 13 employees, everyone can have their own floor
org changes today
old cto goes back to sales new cto takes over the engineering some execs leave what does it mean for we, the people?
Great payrises
So. After the "no bonus" surprise and the promise of pay-rises and adjustments in January which was then delayed to March (though backdated to January), are you all pleased? I would call it "constructive dismissal". After 6 years stagnation in... — read more

How long left for CF?
ST and MS are gone so no one high up the org left on site. Israel being built up as the center of the company so will grab back Infinite. Staines already in bed with Sky so will take any of that work remaining. Once Cisco TSAs are complete and... — read more
How’s the new company?
What are you working on?
Is Lawrenceville affected?
Is all we need to know.
What do you want to happen now?
It’s the start of a new year. Let’s mark it with some great ideas on where we should go now. What do you think are the big things that need to change? What’s holding us back? What are the big opportunities that we should push for? And..... go. — read more
LWR is closing.
New landlord soon. Will be converted to work live play complex.
Shaw Communications
There is some drama here. Do they stick it out?
So... where are the layoffs?
Did I miss something? Still alive...
It has gotten better.
Layoffs have been frozen and we are now hiring again in the US and Canada. I was being asked to cut a couple people from my team but that is no longer the case.
1 Year Old
Did you read the email yet? Could not help myself. 1 year of lies. “Earned the trust of customers”!!! What trust? Customers are leaving. Is that what you call trust. Maybe you earned customers trust but lost employees trust. Hooray for... — read more
Astro
Astro is my favourite customer. Who is yours?
How much of a paycut did you take this year at Synamedia vs Cisco?
At Cisco I got RSU grant and bonus every year, at Synamedia we just get base pay. So, I have taken about a 30% paycut this year, how much did you lose this year?
Layoff's in the horizon but managers / sales are being hired??
Sales is brought on another person and Delivery is hired another manager. This is not sitting well with a lot of people considering so many are about to loose their jobs within the next week or two. How about we bring on Software Engineers to... — read more
I like it, so I am staying.
I was spit out to L&T and brought back in. The pay is great, we are getting a new office in Costa Mesa, and the work is pretty interesting. I have been sitting on the sidelines for a while now, watching all of you whine and moan, but enough is... — read more

Sur-prise. Sur-prise! SUR-PRISE!
Go-o-o-o-llee, Goober, it's been a whole year, to the day, since Mr. Moody told you what was coming: "Triton's B3 Corporate Family Rating reflects the expectation of continuing revenue declines, challenges of setting the company up as a... — read more
We lost another customer
Can you guess who it is?
I think that we are doomed...
As far as I'm concern, I have reached a decision that there is no future for us. We are at least 2 years back in terms of our offering in the new market, our supposed revenue makers are nothing but petty cash, our delivery track and quality is a... — read more
