Zendesk acquisition of SurveyMonkey. HORRIBLE DECISION

Whoever is making this call at Zendesk is one dumb moron. The m&a team is an embarrassment and always have been. As are the c-level supporting this. Leadership is going to face a lawsuit from shareholders for this Horrendous decision. The dilution of stock in insane and criminal. For a low moat product declining product like survey monkey. Absolute trash. How are people inside Zendesk feeing about this.

Zendesk got fked by FreshDesk. A slap on their face feels good.

Zendesk Jin-Yang OP Oct 29, 2021

Heads need to roll at Zendesk. Freshdesk makes 1/3 of the revenue as is valued 20% higher

Fresh desk is now worth more than Zendesk. Mikkel you’re fucking up. You need to answer for this decision of diluting the shareholders. Fresh desk 1/3 the revenue but is worth 20% more!!!!!!!! How the hell do you let the market perceive us like this mikkel.

No one at SurveyMonkey was happy with the news either, makes no sense!

Zendesk Jin-Yang OP Oct 31, 2021

Half of survey monkey jobs are going to get eliminated. That’s the only way to make this work.

Zendesk NewtyProfe Nov 1, 2021

Could get rid of 25 percent of existing ZD staff also. Nice people. But not good enough skillswise.

Zendesk Jin-Yang OP Oct 31, 2021

Shareholders are going to get this rejected. And this is going to have heads rolling at Zendesk.

Ahhhh the same feeling happened with Medallia. Everyone threatened lawsuits, came to nothing. Sale goes through this week. Get used to it Survey Monkey is getting sold.

Zendesk Jin-Yang OP Nov 1, 2021

Huge difference. Thom bravos stock didn’t tank 20% causing the value of the deal to go way under. same thing that happened with zoom and five9. So no, shareholders won’t get used To it. This is going to be a battle to fight stupidity at zen

It’s because they saw the writing on the wall. Once your company is barely pulling 20% growth they know the stock ain’t going anywhere. And they found the idiots at Zendesk to bail them out

Well the acquisition is officially dead. Not a great news for the svmk employees. Many of us will probably get laid off.
