No posts here, no layoffs and everything looks great now while the likes of Goog. MSFT, AMZN, CISCO, intel, twtr, saleforce and many others announced major layoffs.
You guys are thinking that RR is doing great and other execs are fu----g hard. Guys, the time is approaching where you all will be fu---d soon.
Who do you think Juniper sells a lot of its equipment to? Tech giants like Google, Amazon, etc. Anyone at Juniper who thinks reductions in CapEx in these tech giants won't impact Juniper's bottom line and potential for layoffs doesn't understand Juniper's buying and selling cycles.
It's possible but I am confident that Juniper will pull through. Layoffs yes but not at the scale of these other companies.
What a bunch of nonsense. Juniper has been hiring then firing every year. They are a total joke of a company with zero strategy
thanks for the sentiment.
one thing Juniper avoids is over-hiring. while painful when the workloads are high, it means there is not as much dead weight when outlook isn't great (not saying that is the case).
the googs and metas and Salesforce etc never faced bad times and hired brainlessly... so now they are finally losing their sense of invincibility (remember networking companies in early 2000?) and losing their big layoff virginity. Cisco does its re--rded yearly pruning to hire cheaper employees and now.. look, the results are in yet again.
when you overhire, people are disposable. I feel for the people of course. and Juniper prunes here and there, but it doesn't fall for the over hiring and overfiring cycles that are toxic Cisco core business strategies and hopefully the Googs and metas etc never make it their culture after this lesson.
First off Amazon laid off not on the tech side but on its non tech product sales side and over 2000 were seasonal employees that would be let go anyway. Google is bloated as is Microsoft who is finally feeling the pinch from its antiquated software offerings not that Linux has become mainstream. Cisco hires and fires like Dell its a constant thing. A tactic used to get rid of the older worker and scare the cr-p out of the younger. Juniper doesn't need to lay off it needs to double down and finally get serious about its markets. Stop treating SE's like sacred cows many of whom take endless days of vacation, pick and chose what they want to do and eschew any type of real sales work.
