Thread regarding Juniper Networks Inc. layoffs

What is wrong with recipe

https://www.crn.com/news/networking/juniper-networks-we-made-the-hard-pivot-and-are-now-set-for-great-growth-

Juniper has “made mistakes” because its recipe – not its strategy – wasn’t right, Marcus Jewell, Juniper's chief sales officer and executive vice president, told an audience of channel partners this week. Service providers have historically been Juniper's biggest customer base accounting for about 40 percent of Juniper’s business today, but the segment is on the decline. In Q3 2019, Juniper's service provider segment dipped down 17 percent year-over-year.

Is the recipe is engineering or sales? Can some expert clarify.

MJ ran Brocade in EMEA into ground by firing people indiscriminately and Juniper had to hire this guy among all the people in all the nations across EMEA. Then he proceeded to fire people in key positions in EMEA and hiring his buddies from Brocade which he broke with their help. He is a bully and know nothing about technology - he is actually proud of that fact - told us in Milan that he is a "numbers man" - we don't meet the numbers, we are history. Of course he gets to stay and milk the company. Disgraceful waste of space.

Is this some sort of joke? Marcus Jewell couldn't find himself out of a paper bag.

It's the same as contrail, where Juniper made them kings. Now mist is the new queen. Rest of the Junipers are slaves

Read the article. So the recipe "pivot" is from Service Providers to Enterprise "solutions", being greased through by MIST. The quotes make MIST sound like the 2nd coming of JC here to single handedly save the day. I thought MIST employee collaboration with J's people was toxic internally? How can you execute in such manner?
