When did it become perfectly acceptable to carry the workload of at least two people for the same pay? Since the last layoff, everybody on my team had to pick up extra work to make up for the people who were let go, and it just stayed like that. We... — read more

https://siliconangle.com/2025/03/06/hpes-stock-craters-mixed-earnings-results-tariffs-layoffs/ Glad the merger failed before we got su-ked into that mess. Stall for time, then take the $1 billion and use the DOJ suite to sell against Aruba .

Wonderin what 2 expect? Three months? Three weeks? Kisses from you new manager that just came from Cisco?
Watching so many good people leaving on their own is a big sign to get out!
What a quick hot mess this place has turned into since the failed acquisition! When you start to see good people turning severely disgruntled and leaving on their own, it's time for a fool like me to follow. People are being treated like sl--e. ... — read more

Update on Upcoming Case Conference
I have been pulled into the legal team to submit some thoughts on the strategy. It appears this may be resolved before it goes to trial.
HPE vs DOJ trial update
HPE & DOJ have proposed a trial date of Jun 16 & Oct 27 resp. The latter conflicts with the merger termination date of Oct 9. The judge today declined to set the trial date and has asked both parties to work together to come up with a feasible trial... — read more
Wow, how about the low morale? Can we go straight to HR for a mutual separation?
Is HR offering any mutual outs?
After DOJ block, HPE integration meetings still continuing?
Got invited to a couple of recurring HPE meetings after a lull from last week. Also got asked for some info from a HPE person. I thought no further engagement from Juniper side until the courts issue a final verdict. No clear & consistent message... — read more
HPE in the news…Data Breach.
https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/hewlett-packard-enterprise-company-3944876/ They should be worried about their own stuff versus trying to buy juniper.
Dishonesty is at an all time high
I came across a discussion about whether HPE should divest Aruba for the deal to proceed. It's important to note that HPE is unlikely to get rid of Aruba. Just three years ago, there was the “Ki-l Mist” campaign, which indicated their strong belief... — read more
Another Year Another Fail
Juniper outwardly .... We are doing great, smashing every competitor and winning new customers.... Followed by 2024 results... Revenue Down YoY again, no growth and revenue in line with 10 years ago Total losers
Juniper and Artista lost XAI PROJECTS
Major loss
An interesting take…a d I'm buying it.
What do you all think?? I agree 100%. https://www.futuriom.com/articles/news/hpe-looks-likely-to-lose-its-juniper-buy/2025/02
Would HPE divest Aruba to acquire Juniper?
Was wondering if HPE would jettison a stagnant $5.4B Aruba for a fast growing $0.7B MIST?
CLEAN ROOM
I am part of a so-called Clean room. I had to sign 2 NDAs. I personally shared a lot of information with HPE and received information. Information has been sent back and forth that should not be allowed. The DOJ has attempted to contact a number... — read more
Rentention bonus / CLEAN ROOM
What happens to the retention bonus? Juniper has granted a limited group of people in finance this if the deal were to close. These people have worked very hard but are now empty-handed. Does Juniper still have to pay out this bonus? The culture in... — read more
Whatever you do, don't quit just yet
If the deal goes through, layoffs will be everywhere, meaning there's a good chance you'll get severance. Things aren’t bad enough here - yet - that waiting it out isn’t an option. And if the deal falls through, you can always quit then. I’ll never... — read more
HPE really looks lame in the DOJ suit, and Mist looks wonderful!
https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1387541/dl No wonder HPE was willing to pay SUCH a premium on JNPR's then stock price. From DOJ's POV, I really can see how HPE is buying JNPR to eliminate a competitor. If the merger doesn't happen, JNPR survives... — read more

Beat Mist
HPE had a campaign to Beat Mist. If this was known to Juniper, why would Juniper want to sell itself to HPE with the potential for Mist to be swept under the rug?
