Leadership needs to get their act together. Shouting, pressure, and creating a climate of fear in engineering won’t fix anything: in fact, it only makes things worse. Right now, people are acting out of fear instead of making rational decisions... — read more
$13 - Five9 Inc stock hits 52-week low
We are taking bets - stock will hit single digits by July.
Not paid last paycheck, PTO or on call
California based employee, so not gonna interrupt anything while penalties rack up… But still, I gave 4 weeks notice and helped hire my replacement. It’s kind of insane
Q1 Results?
Has anyone heard any numbers for Q1 yet? I’ve heard they weren’t great, but no details. Also hearing of a RIF mid April. But I always take that with a grain of salt. Just curious if anyone here has heard any rumblings?
Is Five9 engineering this dysfunctional everywhere?
trying to sanity check something. I’m an engineer at Five9 and honestly I can’t tell if my team is just dysfunctional or if this is how things are across engineering. In my team: Communication is basically nonexistent. Half the time you don’t even... — read more
$14...it's over
Company is done. Your stock is worth very little especially when you factor in taxes. Get out while you can.
Folks are jumping ship!
Have been hearing chatter in the office of several people leaving. I’m not ready for what’s to come.
Five9 stock hit lowest in last 52 weeks!
$15! Different Nepo circles in leadership ruined the company
Anyone else got an interview at salesforce
Saw someone else get an interview on a shared screen today, are they just targeting five9 now for staff? I had one in my LinkedIn dms, are there any other good employers looking for five9 employees? I am hoping to get out of here soon, the salary... — read more
Nepotism
Does anyone find the cisco/rep nepotism here incredibly rampant? More often than not I find most of the nepotism hires incredibly incompetent.
RSU
Did they give RSUs this time??? I was told 2.5 percent is the highest in org this time around lol
This is the worst workplace in the country
I am so sick of the absolutely toxic disgusting leaders that work here. I just spoke with my manager and I got 0 for my yearly raise, and only a minor stock bump. I am working harder than I ever have, and yet all they ask for is more. Is anyone else... — read more
All they do is Sell.
Key executives at Five9 have recently cashed out notable amounts of company stock. SVP & CAO Leena Mansharamani sold 1,926 shares for a total of $34,417. Chief Administrative & Legal Officer Tiffany N. Meriweather executed a larger sale of 5,942... — read more
RTO?
Has Amit hinted he might enforce a RTO…?
Anyone struggling with motivation?
I am really worried about layoffs here - is anyone else worried that people are too focused on staying employed rather than doing good work? I am seeing a growing amount of toxicity (even more than usual), but maybe it's just my team.
Who is worst c level leader?
Mathadras, Burkland, or Ajay?
Is the stock buyback done? If not shouldn't that be stopping the current slide?
Without the buyback, it would be even lower than it is
Class action update Feb 26, 2026: Motion to dismiss denied

Five9 Comeback? Or Prep for Sale
2026 will certainly be a year of uncertainty for Five9 people. Will the company rally? Shares rose slightly after the earnings call last week but is it sustainable? Rumors of a Sale are still in the air, that it could be what this company needs. ... — read more
Rewards cycle outcomes
Instead of layoffs, let’s talk rewards. How was your raise and RSU this year, compared to last year?
Earnings Call Predictions
Does anyone have any thoughts going into the Earnings Call? This will be the first time Amit presents in front of the investors.
focus on products
CPO seems to just share LinkedIn articles on how AI is coming for our jobs instead of setting any actual strategy. This whole company is a mess.
Executive retreat
It's been reported that omit will be taking the e-staff out next week for an executive retreat to lay down the law. No doubt it truly will be an executive retreat
First impressions of our new CEO
Post here. Looking forward to how he does at the February 19th earnings call
Layoff announcement may be delayed by 90 days
Our new Leader needs at least a quarter to come up with his input on the list, including members of E-staff who will also be impacted.
CPO
The sad reality is he will still find a job somewhere after an utter and absolute failure here and prior jobs. Yet f9 keeps him employed while laying off people who actually do some work. It’s a systemic issue.
SKO CHATTER
There was a lot of concern coming out of SKO regarding the direction of the company. Many people, rightfully so, are sharpening up their resumes. The new CEO started today so put on your seatbelts for a bumpy ride.
are PIPs the signal of attrition/layoffs?
anyone else been put on a PIP recently? I had a meet expectations for end of year stuff but had a suspicious meeting with my sup about goals and a doc of improvements and now think its weird that happened. it wasn't us talking about goals. talked to... — read more
Again Ajay is barely coherent at SKO
Why is this guy employed anywhere?? Product teams hate him, we have to hide customers from him to save credibility- how oblivious is our board?
Mike out as chairman
What do you all think of Mikes email this morning that he won't won't serve as chairman after his term is up? I got to believe that the rest of the board and Ammit wanted it that way. Maybe paving the way for a sale?
We should be ready for bad outcomes
Ending up in PE hands would probably mean a bloodbath. Private equity is almost always focused on extracting value first, which, of course, means massive cuts. Not that we aren’t trained by experience to expect the worst, but this would be a major... — read more
How big of a layoff when we are sold
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1288847/000128884725000177/fivn-20250729.htm 2/3 majority out

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1288847/000128884725000177/fivn-20250729.htm Now sale will only need to be approved by a implement majority, not 2/3rds that doomed Zoom’s $15B takeover bid Removal of Supermajority Vote Threshold Since its... — read more
Very interesting meeting today
We had a very very bizarre product team meeting where people kept licking AJays boots and got lectured on completely random and unrelated subjects. When topics on strategy and company health were arose, very very strange and veiled answers were... — read more

The Indification of a once great company is officially complete with the appointment of new CEO of Indian origin. With no meaningful experience in bringing a public company to new heights, he was hired for reasons that won't help the companies long... — read more
A message for the new CEO
Welcome. Please understand how damaging and unqualified a chief product officer you have and make the right decision for the company to remove them as fast as you can. Previous leadership didn’t want to admit they made a bad decision and some of the... — read more
No new CEO yet?
Puzzled by the fact that no announcement has been made yet. Wondering what’s going on behind the scenes.
Everybody seems to know something huge is coming
A lot of people have quietly started looking at options, just in case. It feels weird, like preparing for something we shouldn’t have to. Still, better to be ready than caught off guard when things shift.
Had a customer telling me our product officer blurted nonsense at them then just walked away
Had an interesting conversation with one of our customers today that said our CPO spoke to them in a condescending away, brushed aside their concerns, mumbled something about AI and the just walked away. We should probably have our sales team... — read more
