Other than trimming business projects, products or segments, the ship needs to take a very close look at terrible performers, we’ve been lenient for too long and all the fats are getting too heavy to carried.

What was the internal message for those who have abandoned ship but are curious how the transition is going?

Haha guys a sign of new CEO = trimming, replacing with cheaper alternatives in India and finally selling to PE. Please read those forums on Reddit and sentiments on the streets. How naive would it be to assume having a new CEO is to revive this ship. Regardless, for those who can, please find a job elsewhere.

@ez trying to balance that, so far accurate, thought with the fact it's only been 4 months. Regardless, bad first impression on the rollout.

If you're going to make a big deal about a new strategy, you should make sure it doesn't sound indistinguishable from the old strategy
