#3: Mitel Layoffs
Remember that Mitel-RingCentral partnership from earlier in our countdown? Late in the year, it was blamed as the cause for a number of pending layoffs.
On LinkedIn, Richard Fry, national channel manager, announced his departure from Mitel just before Thanksgiving. And Earl Stevenson said he was out shortly thereafter. He was head of Mitel’s network operations center (NOC) and global incident management. Both cited the partnership as the reason for the layoffs.
Mitel said it continually assesses its resources and operational structure. It does so to ensure it’s “best-positioned to support our customers and address market opportunities,” the company told Channel Futures.
