Interesting if this is true.

All were A-hats ... let’s be clear.
Agree! Juniper should be do lucky as to have growth and profit. Numbers don’t lie, no matter how you spin them in CFO land. Congrats to AB on his new position AND on having the kind of good reputation that allowed you to secure that new position. Onward and Upward to a winning company!
It's too bad good execs such as VM have been ousted. VM was a good man. AB left. Is AC leaving next? All the initiatives that VM started are being dismantled. It goes to show that Juniper is now focused on short term profits and do not mind getting rid of entire teams...
Dude. It's pretty damn obvious AB is defending himself here.
lmao @XmwW5C5-iqky & @XmwW5C5-hfid both of you think he cares about your opinions? Or better yet even knows this stupid thread exists? He's out there living his best life, probably making a sh---ton more money than both of you combined, while you two are here writing about it...let the man do his job and worry about yourselves LOL
@XmwW5C5-iyep. Nice try AB. NOBODY is buying your alternative personality shenanigans.
NOBODY!
Get a life!
@XmwW5C5-hfid This is not AB. I used to work for him years ago. How about you? Do you know him personally? I think it's funny how you think he would have the time to even look at these troll sites. Nor would he care about the opinion of some irrelevant person hiding behind a screen. For some reason he's in the position he's in and not you. You must have a lot of time on your hands to talk c-ap online. While we're here talking sh--, he's out there working hard and trying to make a difference. Could you say the same about yourself? Is anyone even bothering to even write about you in any capacity? Probably not. Nobody cares about your or my opinion. Get a life. As should I, wasting even a minute of my time entertaining a hater like you. BYE.
@XmwW5C5-hjik "It's because he doesn't play those games that other executives must feel intimidated."
Hey AB. Your reputation at J was very well established, and it was not in the positive sense.
Btw, I thought you moved on dude. Stop trying to defend yourself in this thread.
He left because Juniper had nothing left to offer. Dinosaur mentality. Why waste your energy on a company that doesn't want to move in the right direction? And "do-nothing" politicalness? That's the last thing he is. It's because he doesn't play those games that other executives must feel intimidated. And a gift to Juniper? More like a parting gift. They're staying in the past. Time to move towards innovation, and shift that energy towards products and business with a brighter future ahead.
Speaking of Cisco, today on their Earnings Call, they beat on top and bottom. Every category grew, INCLUDING routing and switching.
Stock is up 4% after hours.

Why did other comments get deleted? AC, you troll this site? Truth hurts, bro.
This is the equivalent of Juniper sending a SCUD missile into Cisco town. The guy is a poster boy of "do-nothing" politicalness. This has been a gift to Juniper in every which way in order to go in the right direction.
This wasn't a "poach", but rather him seeing the writing on the wall. It's amazing how some retreads can FAIL UPWARDS. And it also tells you that Cisco also doesn't know how to vet too well either (i.e. similar to PPA type vetting).
Poached? That would lead the reader to think Juniper wanted him to stay. Hope he implements GS&BT at Cisco.
Regardless Juniper is going to be a frame of a company that once was!
Juniper is done!
It's over!
Tap Tap!
