Forget marketing. Management laid off the most experienced technical staff and technical support. Managers handed their tasks to newly hired people. As a result, engineers are swamped with technical support issues instead of working on new products to expand and solidify portfolios.
Expect an increased turnover rate this and next year. But don't worry! Management seems more concerned about "diversity" than technical excellence and moving the company forward.
@qup+1nyzQ560 hit the nail on the head.
