AVAYA Propaganda Campaign -- NOT Fooling Anyone

The absolute BEST thing that AM did was level set (after bankruptcy) and acknowledge what Avaya was and wasn't. The acceptance of On-Prem and the understanding of the real "Journey" resonated and bought Avaya a lot of credibly with frustrated clients. The lesson here is -- just be real.

Take note and learn. Don't go on the automatic counter attack and do things like --

Deny the volume of layoffs
Claim you will rehire many impacted via media then quickly have same media partner delete
Falsely claim Avaya has over 6,000 on payroll full time employees when SEC Filings share LESS THAN 5k at time of Chapter 11 and have had 1/2 dozen reduction in force layoffs since
MOST CRITICALLY -- STOP going after any critics. You look foolish. Petty. and Severely Untrustworthy.
AVAYA IS NOT WINNING NEW BUSINESS and you just look like corporate manipulators and criminal liars by claiming otherwise. You are also peppering the media with evidence for partners do go after you legally.

Snap out it. This is not a good look on you.

The only "new business" is the volume of cases Avaya's outsourced lawfirm has to defend nowadays.

And correct re: Propaganda.

The tired and true "analyst" strategy was well passed its prime in 2022/early 2023 when the paid-off placements all proved to be either compulsive liars or so out of touch that they actually believed the Avaya spin. (Recall the placements along the lines of "Avaya's demise is exaggerated/ No way Avaya will every go bankrupt/ Avaya has so much cash and the One Cloud strategy has been too successful"). My personal favorite "I know what others dont about Avaya's success and you will all see how wrong you are".....
The only people who read those rags are Avaya employees, ex employees and competitors. And all 3 are laughing.

"level set?"
