I worked with them through 2014 and saw the NYE firing. Pretty brutal.

But at that point the 'agile' team hadn't delivered in over a year. Badly mismanaged...

Support.com (NASDAQ and soon to be OTCBB[sauce]: SPRT) let go of over 20% of their call center by email/robocall that same day. That was a 'fun' year.
