Pros

Easy-going culture. Good severance package.

Cons

I had survived through 5 layoffs in the past 5 years. Finally, I got hit the 6th time.

As you can see, the upper management hasn't done anything different.

I guess this is what happens with every layoff. They say, "It is not about your performance."

Advice to Management

You have no strategy. When the whole industry and market is pointing at mobile computing, you put in more resources into desktops.

Do you even have a plan to gain some market share? Do you even know the tenets of Marketing?

  • Segmentation
  • Targeting
  • Positioning

I guess not!
