VoIP blogger OM Malik is reporting that a number of senior Skype
executives across Europe have been handed pink
slips and told they have till the end of the year to tidy their desks.
The report
claims that Skype underwent a "major reorganization" which included "axing the
entire business development part of the company, barring a handful of country
heads".
Malik says that Senior executives in Poland, France (Jerome Archambeaud, French
Market Development Manager), UK
(Alistair Shrimpton) and Italy
have been let go in the re-org.
In total about 14 people are said to be leaving the company
and a few more are being re-assigned to new locations and positions.
Most of the pain seems to be felt by pre-merger employees
that have been with the company since before eBay acquired Skype. Would you
believe that was more than a year ago, feels like only a couple of months.
There seems to have been a stream of Skype employees leaving
the company over the last couple of months, which would make sense if it's been
a year since the deal was done.
