5. Samuel Wilson, 8×8
8×8 recently announced layoffs impacting 7% of its workforce, or about 155 employees. There’s speculation these layoffs could be part of an effort to ready 8×8 for acquisition. However, it’s difficult to read into whether that’s the case when the remarks of the company’s CEO are general in nature.
8×8 CEO Samuel Wilson made waves when he suggested that the layoffs were regrettably “in order to align with emerging marketplace opportunities.”
Again, it’s not so clear how 8×8 will position itself.
