Too many management cliques and petty politics have drained the energy of those who actually do the work. It’s clear the company needs a major shake-up to bring back motivation and get things on track. Get rid of the useless managers who do nothing... — read more
Have a Great Holiday!
If you need a little assurance going forward, let this site be a great lesson for that. Not one single prediction in this site has came through since the acquisition announcement in January. If you need a little laugh, go back and read the up to... — read more
Thoughts on recent Cisco and Nutanix hires?
Seems like a lot of new hustlas from Cisco and Nutanix around. Making extra work with their bright ideas that obviously worked well in their previous roles. Shouts!
Why DoJ couldn't concude today
There is no conclusive response or action from DoJ, Why is it. How long will they take, either to challenge or approve or postpone the decision till Trump arrives
Dealing with a toxic manager
Yesterday, my manager of just three months totally lost it. He got verbally abusive, started gaslighting me, and even threw out some wild, made-up accusations. It was so frustrating and honestly kind of surreal. Have any of you had to deal with a... — read more
Juniper- a lost decade
RR became a CEO in Nov 2014 , when the stock price was around 22$. Stock price after the buyout is 40$. This implies a compounded return of 6 percent over the last decade. Without a buyout this is even worse.SP500 meanwhile had a return of 12 percent... — read more
HPE CEO lied
https://www.sdxcentral.com/articles/analysis/hpe-juniper-cisco-networking-chaos-has-enterprises-nervous/2024/11/ He told that there are no overlapping products between HPE and Juniper. Aruba and Mist are overlapping. It is a big thing as not sure... — read more
Why DoJ is taking time
Their concern is HPE's inability to handle ASICs. Juniper got inhouse built ASICs for their routers and switches. If concerned, they must deny the deal otherwise move forward. What explanation they need from HPE execs is something I didn't... — read more

How many of you are buying JNPR stock today
Best case, we can make $4 per share if DoJ Blesses
I don’t really care if deal comes through
We’ll have layoffs anyway, sooner or later. Because that is the way.
Deal close & next
Deal close might happen as early as this Friday, if the DOJ approves. This will potentially sc--w up the Thanksgiving holiday weekend for some. Employee day one (ED1) is rumored to be early April for the US. Asia might be 3 months later. All of the... — read more

It's for 10% more than I was expecting. Huzzah HPeJuniper! I can't believe how many RSUs they threw at me! Amazing! Thanks Rami!!!
End of This Week - Lock
It will happen the end of this week. Guaranteed. I am the tru Mist Man and I am tight with one of the key players.
Massive layoff
Deal can fail with a greater probability and the execs now decided to start next year with a massive RIF of around 2k if that happens. Be ready for the movie on screen.
Not today!

Did all get offer letters
Acquisition closing is finalized only when you all get offer letter with new title, salary and benefits from HPE. If this is not done, it is months away to close the deal. No mistman involved here.
The future looks bleak
I fully believe Juniper will stagnate and fade away because of its failure to attract and retain young talent. Let's face it, we're at the point where very few people worth their salt are looking to join the company and once they do, they can't wait... — read more

RSU and ESPP shares are gone from E*Trade
Just checked E*trade and my RSU’s and ESPP just disappeared.
Understaffed
I have to pull 10+ hour days to get everything done and I'm getting really sick of it. My manager doesn't give a damn. Things are getting done so he's happy. The fact that half of my team is considering quitting doesn't bother him one bit. When I... — read more

Acquisition won't happen this year
JNPR is still paying dividend in Dec. So acquisition mostly won't be completed by then.
Don't ask for feedback if you'll just ignore it
Does anybody else have this issue? I'm constantly asked for advice or feedback but no matter what I say, it's always ignored. It’s like talking to a wall. All suggestions are ignored and problems swept under the rug. Nothing changes, ever. It’s the... — read more

SKO
Interesting that myself and all my colleagues were invited to HPE SKO when many here have been claiming imminent layoffs are on the horizon. Not saying there won't be any, but I don't believe they'd plan this event if there were wide scale layoffs... — read more
You might think you have friends at Juniper but that's a mistake
This place is full of opportunists just waiting to find a way to put one over you. They'll do what they need to gain your confidence, get you to lower your defenses, and then stab you in the back when you least expect it. This entire environment is... — read more
Juniper rescinded my offer
I'm sorry for posting here, but I just wanted to check if you've had any hiring freezes or anything like that in the last couple of weeks? Juniper rescinded my offer and I can't figure out why. I couldn't start before December, but I doubt that's the... — read more
