Thread regarding ViaSat Inc. layoffs

Rumor Mil List;

  1. Ops want to close the Houston southern location. It is a maritime location and IS has lost ships biz to Starlink cuts got to be made. This is not the VES location it is the IS location.
  1. Atlanta, looks like CPI wants their contracts not their organization. They don’t want anything to do with airlines part of it.
  1. very difficult meeting with Delta last week. As a result, installations on the long range fleet have been suspended.
  1. One of J Davy managers in Ops is about to cut 5 heads and another manager also 5 heads. Each represent 5 to 10% team size.

Don't believe anything you read here - it's complete BS

It's just a bunch of disgruntled trolls who got laid off a long time ago and have no idea what's going on in the company now. They are posting nonsense and fiction.

I work with multiple teams in the company, and morale is pretty high. Everyone is hard working and dedicated to their jobs. I check Slack at midnight before bed, and so many people still have a green dot next to their name. I get late night emails from Git from people submitting code late. People are handling on call duties on the weekend. Some are even doing it while on vacation, while on maternity and paternity leave, and I've even seen it from a few people who were supposed to be retired.

I don't know anyone who is worried about layoffs. No one is leaving, and, in fact, the company has started hiring again. Of course that doesn't mean there won't be some low performers or people in business units that are no longer a priority let go here and there. But at many recent all hands, not just with Guru and Mark, but with other leaders too, there is a strong sense of optimism and a feeling that the company is moving in the right direction. It's not fake, it is a sentiment shared amongst many people I've talked with.

Look at the company's press releases. New deals and contracts are being announced on a regular basis. There are several other reasons, that cannot be named, to be positive about the future of this company. All I can say is that I have maxxed out my ESPP and cannot believe my good fortune to be acquiring shares at ridiculously low prices.

  1. ) Guru is snapping selfies with Delta Execs for the last time.

Guru is outta here. The minute his primary role of chief selfie taker is interrupted with real strategic work, gotta go. He put his year in and exercised some options. Onto the next thing
