My GOD. Doesn't anyone realise that this company is DOA? Customers and partners bailing left and right. New customers non existent. Why would ANYONE go with a bankrupt company if they weren't already a customer? Answer: They wouldn't. And yet, the laughable leadership continues to beat up the sales team about numbers and bringing in business. Haha. Clueless morons actually think it's business as usual. Reality check, it's DYING. Bankrupt companies matter to decision makers. Networking customers wondering WTF is going to happen. Are they going to buy from Avaya, Extreme, someone else? Leadership... SILENT. It's beyond irresponsible and incomprehensible. I guess as long as their golden parachutes are packed, who cares. But let's give them huge bonuses because they're so vital to the ongoing business. What a joke. It's a professional embarrassment to be associated with this dying company; my only decision at this point is which offer I'm going to take. Guess what is the most common question I get from headhunters? Answer: Why have you stayed at Avaya so long? (Read: What's wrong with you?). They are genuinely concerned that prospective employers will question the intelligence and capability of anyone who would stay at a failed company - and it's been failing for a long time. The company is an industry joke and there's great skepticism about the value of anyone who stayed this long. Reality check: You have a 25% chance of being eliminated before June. Do you feel lucky punk?

Well, KK and his propagana machine are hard at work trying to lure employees into false sense of security and business as usual. Earlier in the week they sent communication email informing the employeed that Chapter 11 is going great with a lots of motions being approved by the judge including paying wages, continuing incentive progams, benefits etc...etc...Then mid week, they laid off a number of U.S employees in Sales, GSS, IT...most with 4 weeks package and 2 week notice.
Nice going KK. Your team's communication forgot to mention that KEIP motion is still on the table and the million dollar bonus is on the way to you and your buddies while people are punted out of the door. Many have written to the judge objecting to this bonus. We will see in March 30.
Strong now and stronger in the future. What a crock!
Clearly posted by and Avayan who has cruised for the past ( however many ) years and is not willing to put some effort in and sell something.
My advice is, do us all a favour and quit and let the real workers get on with being successful !!
ha ha ha
Dude get the facts !
look like you do not know latest Q1 numbers
Our average quarterly revenue is about 820 - 850 m but in Fy17Q1, we have achieved only about ~500m.
With this rate, the FY17 yearly revenue may not cross above 2B or max 2.2 B - Direct impact of ~1 B loss.
what a load of nonsense. Yes, Avaya is in Chapter 11. yes customers are nervous but we are still pulling in decent revenue, we are still bringing in big customers, we do have some good products. 3-4 months we will exit chapter 11, we are already going through at record speed. we will not have the same idiots at the wheel, people will want a return on their investment. We need leaders with vision and we need owners who want to invest in the company, if we come out of chapter 11 with that we will be market leader before long. But if we have employees like you who want to sit and grumble and moan about how bad things are we will all sink...start looking at the positives.
Bet, please check the published revenue numbers for Q1 before commenting :)
Business will not be as usual no chance. Expect lot of jitters across all locations.
It's Indeed business as usual. Also, I can bet with you that the company will be out of ch11 in few months. Even after filing Ch11 we are doing pretty good business. I would suggest, please stop blabbering here and do some work
