Am I the only one who sees C-I-S-C-O in BIG RED NEON lights flashing ?
Just wow.
The insight from the analysts is interesting.
While I'm not a huge fan of the Pay-2-Play scheme (which really showed it's true colors in 2022 with the planted spin that discredited many analysts); they do have a "vantage" view of what is really going on.
- I know why they loved Avaya International
- because the analysts KNOW how overwhelming the success in that region was. And that no other vendor came close (see the love affair that WAS GITEX)
- They KNOW how to desipher rumor from likely
- So some vendors spin when someone leaves. Some dismiss credibility. Sometimes the vendors get it wrong -- but they typically can access talent and reputation more accurately than any vendor. Which is why they know who and what ML is..
I hope they are strong enough to be objective and open. God knows this industry can't afford any more slanted Pay-2-play placements
This really scares me. There is absolutely no other environment that can make up for revenue loss if the clients follow. So much for "roaring" forward!
When we were at the management meeting in Barcelona (another complete waste of money and time) NAL was very vocal about The Layoff and announced that he had tasked his minions to hunt and expose who Internationals detractors were on the site which was hilarious.
His departure will hopefully lead to the rest of his crew leaving plus the lunatic EMEA ASL's....
Who do you think shared the salicious details from our illustrious CROs past?
The Analysts of course. They KNOW the deets....Cisco, Genesys, etc. They KNOW.
The analyst community will not respond kindly.
Guess Avaya will have to up the budget to pay them off. I wish I was exaggerating.
One doesn't need to be in international to know how to count 3+3.
It's funny how it was perfectly ok to manipulate the balance sheet to pull off bankruptcy, yet now we must be squeekey clean?
Talk about not staying on brand.
Wow the international team has come out full force to down vote, that’s hilarious.
Accept or deny it, actions from this leader were detrimental to the overall health of the organization.
The office felt lighter, the air more breathable after their departure. It was as if a dark cloud had dissipated, allowing sunshine to stream through the windows once again. The constant tension, micromanagement, and barrage of unreasonable demands were no more. Colleagues exchanged glances and small smiles, an unspoken acknowledgment that a burden had been lifted from their shoulders. Friendly conversations and laughter gradually replaced the hushed tones and sideways glances that had become commonplace under their reign of fear. With their sanity and morale restored, the team could finally focus on their work with renewed energy and passion, no longer stifled by the toxic environment they had created.
