Thread regarding F5 Networks Inc. layoffs

IT Job Market is Ugly & Getting Uglier

Probably doesn’t help that hiring managers and recruiters use services that look at and summarize FB, Instagram posts, etc., and company-identified boards like this one, to not only get a sense of personal characteristics of applicants, but the culture from where they are/came.

It’s already super competitive marketplace for jobs in this industry. And it’s only going to get worse. No company using one of these services is going to hire anyone with F5 on their resume based on the comments here. Too many competitors will have applied for the same job without this baggage. And AI tools specific to this task will only make this sort of information more accessible.

Remove F5 from your resume if you can. Or, hope that the sh-t-posting stops - probably unlikely as humans are their own worst enemy when cornered, or laid off.

So, a round of applause for all the sh-t-posters. While they practice their freedom of speech, accomplishing nothing to change anything with F5 for the better, they are making it impossible for all of us to find another job if laid off.

Good luck out there. You’re going to need it - based on the comments here.

@gv On everyone’s that been employed by F5.

You’ll understand once you’ve been looking for work for > year with no interviews.

@f6 ¯_(ツ)_/¯ You missed the point of the @OP, but if you want to rage on capitalism on your capitalist created cell phone or computer while wearing your $200 designer Che t-shirt, you go right ahead.

Another post that would convince any hiring manager to steer clear of F5 candidates.

@OP Too much money influx! Companies don't solve real problems people want to pay for. They keep inventing BS and try to convince markets to buy it. It's all about money laundering, not about solving real problems. Then, don't be surprised that they lay off people who got salaries not from the company's profit but from virtual money from "investors". It's an economics 101 class in a kindergarten.
