Can someone explain what the heck the corporate strategy is here? There have been so many layoffs that most teams around me were barely functional to begin with. Then came surprise voluntary severance, so now all of the most knowledgeable people are leaving voluntarily and probably won’t be backfilled. Teams are literally non functional, no one knows wtf to do, and instead of spending money on what we need (competent people) leadership is wasting money on sh-t like in person SKO and a completely pointless, expensive, disruptive IT migration. If you told me leadership was trying to go for another bankruptcy I’d believe you.
Every day I just smile and nod and try to survive because we don’t have enough resources to actually do anything … meanwhile supposedly AI will come save the day!

Go look at PJD’s linkedin and have AI do an analysis. He is looking for his payday. He could give a sh!t about employees and customers only matter because he needs revenue coming in to appease the god of Apollo. In short time he will be on to his next two year assignment and you’ll be scratching your head surfing the job boards.
Whatever the strategy may actually be (although it is currently veiled behind something like the Wizard of Oz curtain), if the employees (including contractors - which will probably be 100% of workers eventually so that Avaya can just be a holding company) ever understand it, it will obviously have to change to something else.
