Austin Office Lease was not renewed

A few months ago my friend who works at the leasing office told me the office lease was not renewed. I thought nothing of it until my former VP at another company (outsourcing company’s sales team) text me today about outsourcing the Commercial Inside Sales Team and Renewals Team, if I knew anything about it and how our sales are etc...Said someone from TB called or met with them and was “shopping around” the idea ...what the heck is going on here. They already RIFd a buttload of sales Reps, now this? Oh boy

Relocating ISR’s shouldn’t be too hard - they just need a phone and a laptop to do their job so relocate away ... maybe to Lubbock

I thought most of the ISRs teams were affected last month (most based out of SF, NY etc). So was the commercial inside sales spared? A lot of the renewals team is based in SF/SNVL. The current model is dependent on partners.. so maybe further cost cutting on that front is in the offing..

Isn’t relocating expensive? I know that Sunnyvale is downsizing to go to a smaller location, someone posted a link earlier
