there won't be another layoff. Company will just go under! You will show up some Monday and the doors will be locked. Seek life elsewhere.

At least, you can have a multi-year tax write-off now.

All true. wish I could sell them ESPP shares in the blackout like a certain exec I know. Turns out that 15% may not have been such a deal against the 87% decline in 5 years. May just put them to use soaking up profits from other investments in, you know, real companies offering stuff people customers want to buy

Don’t lie to us, you got them at a 15% discount :)

Friend, I've got some VSAT shares I'd like to sell you. Catch is you have to buy them at my cost. Then you can sit back and let that millionaire thing happen.

No, but you don't have to win the race. Like Dankberg said before, there will be MANY winners in the HUGE space market. If Viasat captures just 20% of the market, we will all be millionaires, and Guru will live up to his name.

Has there ever been a runner that has tripped this many times and still won the race?

See, if you've cruised through the posts it's easy to tell the real trolls. They are the ones copy/pasting the same content verbatim over and over in different threads, they have several go-to posts they rapid fire back to back so it pushes legitimate posts down lower in the feed. Then the trolls have their bots that rapidly upvote their own posts to the tune of 5 or so. The bots for upvoting come in handy because there's no capta verification for a vote, only for the post. voila, trolls-r-us

There can't be another layoff, at least not in the short term. Guru and the other execs would lose ALL their credibility if there was a layoff just 2 months after he said no more layoffs. They are d-mb, but they aren't that d-mb.

Nope, just trolls talking about layoffs. There won't be one anytime soon.

If they were going to have another RIF, it would have been just before the end of the fiscal year. That didn't happen.

Inmarsat didn't have any engineers, so legacy Viasat engineers don't need to worry about being replaced by any Inmarsat engineers.

So much misinformation on this site that I couldn’t withstand the stupidity any longer. Here’s the truth of the stock sale… it was to fulfill his tax obligation exactly what the rest of people who receive RSUs do. Focus on reality, not the hype coming from random people on the internet.

yep, I will be playing exec boolshit bingo. Get yer cards ready!

  • this is a hard decision
  • colleagues will be missed
  • right size
  • optimisation
  • synergistic
  • BILLion (that one is for Guru)
  • Exciting times
  • Runner can trip bla bla bla
  • Don't focus on stock price
  • Accountability (but they are exempt)

Of course what will be missing is an honest telling of how we got here and those that made the decisions over the years will still have their jobs of course
