Thread regarding F5 Networks Inc. layoffs

@kw You must really be upset about losing your F5 job, to spend this much time here. When someone drops you, a company, a boyfriend or girlfriend - do you obsess over it or move on? Clearly, you obsess over it. You definitely have a lot of growing to do as a well adjusted adult.

Maybe start with AA.

@hs You su-king on that f5 exhaust pipe forever. Definitely a corporate shill or plant stakes out here to calm the damage.

Just wait - someone will have the ba--s to attack f5 publicly on LinkedIn the there’s jack cr-p you could do about it lol

Awh there are def f5 staff working round the co-k to try to quell the massive amount of damage and sh-t talking this company naturally brings about. It’s hecka cute to watch them panic. Professionally. Calmly. Panic

@ja Stuck employed with benefits. It su-ks. You’re right. Can’t wait to get fired and then I can start sh-t-posting here about how much I hated F5 all those years I stayed with them.

@hs says the bootlicking executive in charge of cleaning up TheLayoff area lol fu---n narc

@hs they are also not obligated to provide their customer the best just needs to be something that sells.

@j4 sticking>>>stuck

@j1 Promotions and raises are thin, I’ll give you that. But benefits are good. And…. Just to let you know what you already know, the opportunities out there right now aren’t numerous. So many of us are sticking with F5. When we get laid off, so be it. It happens. When the entire industry is 20% the labor force of what it once was (AI), so be it. Bi--hing and crying about it won’t change anything. And it only makes you feel good momentarily. Work on yourself, we’ll be fine.

People talking about what works what does not work: look, f5 is a poisoned well. Get out

@OP F5 ( or any corporation) has no obligation to do the best for those who are no longer going to work on their products. If you own a company, will you send the terminated staffs on a trip to Hawaii?
Don't let anger, bitterness and pain get into your good judgement. Do not post anything negative, either. After October 2025, F5 will need to hire some to fill the holes. It can be you. I know some enjoyed the April RIP and got hired back in the next Fiscal year.
Do not commit a career su----e.

@d4 it was 1 week

The 8 weeks starts after getting full pay and benefits into October, so everyone is taken care of into December. While I strongly dislike this decision, getting four months of severance doesn't sound particularly insulting.

I think it was like 1month per year during the round of 2022/2023

What was the severance package for employees with more that 13years with the company?

@a7 man what?

Instead of committing crimes on camera, maybe the @OP should do the opposite. Get busy applying for their next job, build new skills, start a side gig where you are your own boss, and this time save money for your next RIF at the next company. This industry isn’t going to get more generous over time.

@a1, I'm afraid it is too late for you. You’ve gone down a dark hole you can’t seem to climb out of. The hate is too strong for your better half to overcome. Some day, maybe your last day, you will look back and realize what a waste of time and energy this hate was.

Take everything that is not nailed down
