Look, this industry is running on borrowed time. It had been commoditized. All major players like AMZ and alike already building their own high speed switches and alike better and faster than Juniper, still oblivious and stuck up with its own products. Move in while you can. You can stay and winder when you will be next to be axed. You want that? You are not one of the kind. If you are, its a math problem
Headcount does not decrease when there are layoffs in US and EMEA. Why? Because Juniper turns right around and hires a replacement in Bangalore. The cost is 1/4 or 1/3. No wonder there are so many directors there who are given huge teams to manage. Anyone hear about the resent shake up in Bangalore and senior leadership leaving?
@9hku+13l4X68L,
Can you hint which team you are in. Sorry to hear that. But, Juniper typically gives 3 months package. If you can get a similar job, worth taking the package and move on,
Guys,
I am the OP and this website if for layoffs. Don't worry about our English, we are more than good enough to communicate. Guys, Juniper doesn't deserve to be a standalone company. Many politics and they k–led good talent. My suggestion to those who are capabale of finding jobs outside, to move on or call BoD to cleanup the management from Directors to CEO. Speak your heart in Surveys.
Layoffs are a good thing, lads. Moves out the poor performers. Yes there will always be protected clowns that remain. Not much you can do about that. And sure sometimes high performers are in the wrong place at the wrong time.
But most of the time when you get laid off you feel much better one year out. You realize the place wasn’t a good fit for you.
What a lot of the young people at Juniper don’t realize is that it’s not a development culture. You need to make sure your learning and growing rapidly. Some youngies start out at Juniper and stay for 5-10 years and don’t realize that they’re not operating at a level they should be operating at. Then they get canned and they literally don’t understand why. They just don’t comprehend that their Juniper managers failed them for years by not developing them.
Hey OP and @3ssr+13l4X68L : If you know layoffs are not a good thing why do you come here and post such sadistic stuff about people who may be struggling feed their families because of this?
Italian managers are far worse than the Indian ones. Hint: We KNOW who you are ! As always, your English is a dead giveaway. When you were s—ing up to the EMEAR VP's for a promotion to a management position (before they busted you down again), you did not talk like this. The management is still the same and now you sound angry - and yes, we know why: Grapes are sour. Juniper in EMEA, finally has started doing what they should have done long time back: push out deadwood like yourself instead of laying them off and giving them comp. It is now a better company with at least one a$$ki$$ing, political waste of space out of here - the air already smells better.
@3qrg+13l4X68L,
I know layoffs are not a good thing for anyone's life. So, you must tell this to your leadership who brainless laidoff or created situations where good people are discouraged and resigned finally. Telling me in this thread is not useful. Also, I already helped my friends at juniper by referring them. As you mentioned, I don't have any more friends at Juniper, every body left. The rest at Juniper are a$$holes for me and I won't refer them or network with them.
Wish you good luck
OP, you should never be happy about layoffs. Layoffs are disruptive to the company as much as the individuals, and their families, who are let go.
Since you appear to be outside of Juniper, Why not help your friends at Juniper (that is if you have friends at Juniper, or any friends at all), and help them find better opportunities by networking for them and referring them to better jobs, instead of being so negative and hoping that Juniper would do worse than it already is?
What goes around, comes around. Be kind to one another and this world will be a better place for all of us.
