Just heard the news. What is the outcome of his Augmented Freaking Trick? That was supposed to resurrect J, right?

Who is "the dude from Kings Landing named The Mountain" ?
Why are you being so cryptic? Is there a reason to hide this information?
can you explain more.
How sad are some of these people's lives that they would lie anonymously about others on such sites.
KK was weak. Way over his head for running cloud. He was pushed out. This is a good thing for Juniper.
"who is replacing or taking over NK position?"
A dude from Kings Landing named The Mountain.
He's doing it as a personal favor for Sr. Mgmt.
I think turnover/attrition will be high with this dude.
@YyIV61J-4tyr Hopefully not someone on NK's team. It'll just be more of the same. We need someone with a vision and can truly lead DEs to execute, not just talk a good talk.
who is replacing or taking over NK position?
kk is VP of PLM for Routing, Junos etc

@YyIV61J-3ktp very true. We may be talking about the same EBC. The other folks who attended the EBC were asked by the account team and senior execs to dress up. Somehow NK was exempt. That's the sad thing about senior execs these days: treat DEs like gods who need not follow rules.
Who is kk? Is that kompella?
It doesn't matter if he is an engineer or exec. He needs to dress appropriately. Shorts are not acceptable when there are customers appearing for EBCs in suits and he is presenting. It's not cool, even though he may believe it is. That's the bottom line.
@YyIV61J-3mzg NK showing up with shorts (if you've been to one of his talks) is a reflection of a person's arrogance and lack of respect. He's an executive not an engineer!
for the comment -"Word on the floor is that buddies KK and NK were gentle glide path RIFFed, which prompted those two to resume-fill a "start-up partnership" until they land at another company in a similar title position"
Really? That's such a silly assumption. Because someone tries to start their own business they were given guidance their time is almost up? KK and NK are massive losses for J. I guess that is what a blog is for, so people can weigh in on their view. To say that these two were headed for the door anyway....that's so far from reality.
No...i'm not either of them. No, I don't work in PLM or Engineering.
What goes around comes around!
I hope KK reads this, and NK starts wearing pants!
Pretty much shows that most of the people in this forum don’t even work for Juniper. Sad.
It pretty much shows some of the people who post in this forum don't work for Juniper. Don't ignore silent majority.
Anyone else of note leave?
Word on the floor is that buddies KK and NK were gentle glide path RIFFed, which prompted those two to resume-fill a "start-up partnership" until they land at another company in a similar title position.
KK leaving for a start up. With a couple of his team. And there was a RIF last week. Pretty much shows that most of the people in this forum don’t even work for Juniper. Sad.
@YyIV61J-1cya: Do you really not know who is NK? He and RM are AAs right and left hands.
DId he leave on this own or pushed out? Never dealt with him, but have heard lots of negatives after he got promoted from IC -> VP. If he is leaving to found a company, he will most likely pull in several folks from PFE team.
@YyIV61J-dme VP kumar
NK VP of PFE? Is he leaving really?
I thought he was a superstar of Juniper.
NK, really, thought that's the most brilliant star in J
"Talent-less" is more like it!
Who is NK? Be more specific.
Yeah NK VP of SW is leaving
Routing VP of PLM KK is also leaving
Good riddance
MJGA
Are these VP or SVPs?....
Give some last name will ya?...
"Talent"!! Hahaha
Yep. Him and some other top talent bolted in the last 3 weeks.
