Thread regarding F5 Networks Inc. layoffs

So what does a Chief digital officer do?

Have an insane compensation? Figure out who to RIF? Give presentations of jibberish? F5 is in desperate need of someone that knows quality

@OP CDO does make sure that FLD's YouTube video recording setup works flawlessly and ridiculously easy.

"After 18 months, when massive RSUs is vested, she will exit, new DEI hire will come in"

That's how the greedy tech industry operates. In most cases. Nothing to do with ENGINEERING anymore.

Just another DEI hire. This is what F5 is good at. After 18 months, when massive RSUs is vested, she will exit, new DEI hire will come in. Musical chair

CDO tosses a coin: 1 and 0. Like Russian Roulette. 1, we fire you; 0, you stay (till the next round).

"we do not need too many Sr.Directors , Directors, VP's" - correct! BUT:

For a Product based company like F5, we do not need too many Sr.Directors , Directors, VP's and the list goes on and on.

Many of the well qualified people who knew what to do been driven out. Remaining don’t know even care to know what to do. Nothing will change in F5 as long as curettage corrupt management remains.

A Chief Digital Officer is long overdue. F5 really needs someone to keep track of all of those 1s and 0s.
