Don’t forget all the useless non-sales related travel, also spending on expensive foods. Hate those non technical BU product managers. If we increase expense account accountability by 50% the EBITDA will increase by 50%
It’s not the revenue but the ebitda. With 2000 people I imagine the salary alone is 400 - 500m, then hw cogs, then cloud hosting, building operating costs. If revenue falls by 10%, ebitda likely falling 25%. Not sure what is baked into forecast.
What’s this valuation based on? Last I heard the company is still profitable and did over 900m in revenue last year

Define terrible. 10% miss or 50% miss. Is that bookings or revenue miss. Aren't we in the era of new accounting rule which supposedly is better suited for bottom line number
I also heard that the Q1 results are terrible. I hope the company can still afford the severance package in the upcoming layoffs.
RR is OUT. AE still here.
Deals in that big pipeline may just end up closing later this year. Don't be surprised if SKO is rescheduled again.
Remember distinctly “biggest pipeline in the company history”
missed again
