The COVID-19 pandemic may have slowed business and sent employees home to work, but it sure hasn’t curbed the amount of conflict and controversy in the channel.
Among the expected news of the day, such as new hires, breaking M&A and changes in channel strategy, there also are controversies that get the channel talking. There have been quite a few since our last channel conflict and controversy roundup last October.
Recent hubbub involves Frontier Communications filing chapter 11 bankruptcy, Zoom facing heavy criticism for its security and privacy, and layoffs by AT&T, CenturyLink and others.
In addition, the pandemic has eliminated all tech sector hiring and McAfee was rocked by executive leadership departures.
