Thread regarding F5 Networks Inc. layoffs

Oh goodie....

Oh goodie... We have a new Vice President.

F5 has hired yet another Vice President - this one is Vice President of Talent Acquisition....

It would seem to me that their first task would be is to rehire all those RIFd in the last several years. Yeah - I know that won't happen.

@2cs at times I wonder what the word "educated' really means. Definitely "soulless, cynical" but I wonder about "ignorant". I believe they know exactly what they are doing and they just don't care if it makes them $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Looking but at my time at F5 I see that it was wasted - I could have been other places solving real issues and helping real people have better lives.

@26e F5 was built by dropouts and misfits. I know, I was one of them. The current leadership is soulless, cynical, and ignorant, but not uneducated.

@208 there has been at least one layoff every year since 2017 except for 2020. It is not if, but when.

The new VP in HR is backfilling a prior VP. That said, there are a lot of new senior director and VP roles in HR in particular. For a team of only about 150 people, they are super top heavy.
