Thread regarding Five9 Inc. layoffs

More layoff 3-31-2025

So it's confirmed there will be more layoffs this week. Sadly at the lower level instead of the bloated executive level. The question is will the be the last round before the inevitable selling of the company or will their be another round?

It’s certainly going to happen again. And now they’re taking names —___—

All the above is true. 4%, @120ish people across all levels, including leadership (not executive leadership). Very sudden and abrupt. Wish I had seen this forum when it was posted. Perhaps we could have been a bit prepared.

Think it's bad now, just wait until next quarters numbers come out. They haven't been able to run the company properly for literally years now, so how in the he-l are they going to right the ship now? Answer: they cannot, and with both the layoffs and voluntary brain drain they are in the dreaded death spiral.

I'm sorry for all that have lost their jobs in the past two rounds, but holy he-l...come June 30th it'll be a total disaster! Start looking for new jobs NOW! I know that the job market su-ks, but don't wait.

Unfortunately leadership is #@$#@#. Tried turning it into a Cisco remake. Fail. “we need to go younger" fail. Hint :it's not the employees. It's leadership.

It just happened. They will have to make a press release after hours Today is my guess. These sources are coming from people inside the building and by those who were laid off. There was leadership roles included, not just low level people
