Avaya, the Durham-based telecommunications firm, laid off an unspecified number of employees Tuesday during virtual calls with the company’s human resources department. Multiple employees told The News & Observer they were let go, during calls that ranged from 10 to 15 minutes.
Postings on online message boards like TheLayoff.com suggest job losses at Avaya were widespread. Many had anticipated layoffs after weeks of hearing about coming cost reductions and, more recently, receiving invitations to attend HR meetings Tuesday.
