Avaya is undergoing another round of layoffs this week.
It is believed that the affected Avaya employees were informed of the layoffs on Wednesday, November 6, the day after the US election.
One Avaya employee, who had only been with the business since June, wrote on LinkedIn: "Well, that was a shorter chapter than I was expecting, but here we are. Today was my last day with Avaya. I’m incredibly proud of the work we did and grateful for the people I got to know along the way(...) For my fellow Avaya colleagues also going through this transition—I can’t wait to see what’s next for all of us."
Avaya said in a statement to UC Today:
“Avaya continues to align its investments in people and resources to enable us to compete and win in the marketplace. Our team has made great strides in FY24, focusing on customers to improve retention, extend contracts and achieve our targets.
"As we enter our FY25, we continue to align our people and investments to instil the disciplined and disproportionate focus on customers we are best positioned to serve and the innovations that are most crucial for their success.
"Avaya is uniquely positioned with the people and portfolio to deliver the comprehensive solutions the enterprise market demands – demonstrating our commitment to building and sustaining a profitable company.”
