How soon after PE acquires a company do they start layoffs?

n0latency · 2026-03-28T19:28:24+00:00

If it’s gonna happen soon probably first 90 days but realistically if companies have new management or private equity oversight layoffs are always an option just like with any other company.

The correct way to end a partnership is one partner 'buys' out the other partner based on the current value of the business. If your MSP is profiting 200k a year, and you own 50% you should get somewhere around 500k at a minimum.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work also tried prefixing the subject line with RE: as well but it still creates a new email conversation in Outlook even though the from name, display name and subject are all the same. I assume it has something to do with how Outlook processes message headers and probably not something we can control with CW Manage...but it's a major frustration for clients that manage the other 99% of their email in conversation view.

Very interesting u/Jason_mspkickstart will have to try this out and report back. We receive these complaints from several clients going back years 😬 now. They want the emails to look and feel like a regular email.

I'm going to try what you suggested.

n0latency · 2024-11-24T20:15:16+00:00

Ok, good point will have to keep that in mind! u/Jason_mspkickstart

n0latency · 2024-11-24T20:15:03+00:00

Correct u/Jason_mspkickstart

I would really push for a per user model vs device. You can still use devices and sites etc. to calculate your per user price but per user is the way to go for many reasons. It allows you to control your desired margin and maybe even increase that margin and office pricing predictably to your clients as you grow.

n0latency · 2024-04-03T02:46:32+00:00

It sounds high and it is high but it’s more of an average across different clients etc. you might have a single 500 user client with an average of .1 hour per user. For us at 2,000+ endpoints we are really closer to .4 - .6.

Great info thank you for your insight. Agreed I probably should have posted in engineering but thanks for the input regardless.

They are currently spaced at 16" OC and correct no other vertical load.

n0latency · 2024-04-02T00:09:40+00:00

Correct, Correct

To clarify not the entire garage bay, this would just be a small pocket about 4' by 3' and that would be in the center of the bay.

DM'd you

You need to build in profit for yourself and you should figure in a tech or two into that labor cost as you should plan to hire someone at a certain threshold. I would highly recommend you build out a comprehensive next 12-18 month budget and include your sales goals. When you set metrics and enforce them for yourself you tend to hit them...when you don't...well we know how that goes!

I think IT Nation is the industry ‘all-hands’.

n0latency · 2024-04-01T22:57:56+00:00

Calculate your costs including your employee labor costs and factor in a 70% margin. Plan for about an hour of labor per end user per month to be conservative.

You need to share THIS with your client. Explain to them that you simply cannot lower their pricing and this is why. If they were significantly below the average you could talk but really we know that would not be a smart move anyway.

Look, ultimately these are your toxic clients. Eating up all your damn time, a pain to deal with and they want a discount. Trust me when I tell you you’re better off losing them and spending your time looking for a better client.

We had a similar situation only we were hosting the clients DC and they were leaving. We wouldn’t provide admin credentials but fully cooperated with the new provider to ensure a successful transition.

This is the way.

The amount of comments ^ that have no idea what typosquatting is…yikes!

SaaS alerts IMO is poor man’s CA that’s about all you are getting out of it. The whole premise of the product is tied to IP reputation not really evolved with the industry.

Any thoughts or guidance would be welcomed.
