Today started out with several people returning happy from the holiday break and finding a pink slip on their desk. I only have preliminary info so far, but for certain many in video product marketing were let go.
And in a bold move..or maybe a strange move...or lets just call it unexpected... marketing is now under Andy Miller. While I get the logic... i.e. sales needs full control over marketing in this very heated battle going on against Tandberg... if you look at most companies, its not typical for marketing to be under sales unless you're at a less than $100M company. So be it... its their strategy and hopefully they dont get distracted by it... if you know what I mean.
My condolences to those laid off. BTW... I do run a LinkedIn group called "Polycom Alumni"...if you're a past employee, please join our group!
