If you can buy the product of your dreams before the end, do it.

And you think support is bad, now?

Hey, at least the s/w updates that break things would stop.

That means the others will have to work overtime at ignoring you!

I listend to the recording of the call, one comment of a analyst was a positive feedback on the actions taken by the management, but with Corona crisis kicking in this is all now dust from yesterday unfortunately. Also not sure if I got it right but there was remark that Stage and Harmony may not have reached the sales numbers expected. 

(and I think support functions are not mainly customer support but more in regards HR, accounting etc.) Nevertheless very sad to hear. 

I also have the feeling that this could be the end of B&O and many dealers.

It’s sad enough that people lose their jobs - is it really necessary to terminate them as well?

A bit drastic, I agree, but nevertheless a permanent solution.

I have a more 'high-level' question:

Are we seeing any board members leaving (read getting sacked)?

As far as I am concerned, the deep troubles of B&O are pretty much all down to a useless board not being able to keep up with the realities of the world.
The bad software we have seen over the years is almost certainly a result of top level decisions.

The fish rotts from the head...

And now over 100 persons will be out of a job, to no small reason due to incompetence at top level.

No company ever failed due to excellent leadership!
