Thread regarding Juniper Networks Inc. layoffs

Everyone on TheLayoff is a self-proclaim genius.

I know I will get many of downlikes on this, and that's okay.

No matter what company you click on, it's the same story. Everyone thinks they know what's going on. "Hey layoff's by the 1000's!" Really? What is your source? At the end of the day, no one knows $#|+. If that was the case, you would have known Juniper was getting bought by HPE BEFORE December. No one mentioned anything, until it happened.

For example, I saw a post on here that said "Juniper died in 2013". Really? That's awesome. I've been here since 2020 and the commercial team has been setting records every single quarter. EVERY. ONE. We got bought because we are at the top of our game. We weren't a low hanging fruit. Bet that.

So to ease everyone's mind of the pessimistic approach that this website is filled with, why not take one day at a time? Why add unnecessary, fabricated stress to everyone's lives? If you take offense to this, then you are probably the ones posting your bigoted opinions of "what's to come".

I am in Engineering. Not C-Suite. Not even close. Most of those dudes don't even know who i am and I am okay with that.

So my advice, although contrasted to every single thing on here, live your life. Do your job. Have fun. Enjoy working. Quit worry about 'what if's', or layoffs that may or may not hit you. Live in the NOW. This website is why most people on here are on Xanax.

And besides, the HPE acquisition, doesn't mean anything. They could have laid everyone off last year or even 5 years ago. Stop with this nonsense of knowing what is coming. You are better than this.

Based on results and outlook, Juniper Stock should be hovering around $18. If anyone thinks they are getting $40 for their stock, they probably need to read the terms of the acquisition a little more closely. HPE purchased Juniper for MIST AI. It is hype. Ask anyone that has dropped this tu-d in their network.

We may not be geniuses but the drivel you just spouted made most of us look like one. “Top of the game”, lol. If we’re top of game, we’d be too expensive to be bought

I can guess who you are based on your writing.

I do love the delusion. Surely you cant be that naïve, I have been stupid enough to be here for 13 years, and trust me this company loves to fool itself that it looks after its employees and is something special. It's not. They missed the boat big time and have been stuck in a rut of $5b rev for 11 years. No plan no strategy

@OP, If you were visiting these pages regularly and were paying attention to what's been written, you would have known its value in terms of having a heads-up about layoffs and reorgs. Not to mention the fact that people started talking about HPE back in September last year.
Might be just a lucky guess, but you’ve noticed right a lot of people find these pages convenient to vent. Some of us have been building our careers here for more than 20yrs. We remember times when we were breeding down Cisco’s neck, and it’s really frustrating to see this “we might be doing a-ok now in some terms” approach that brought us up to this acquisition. So there actually is a lot of stuff to vent about.

Which brings me to my next question - if everything’s great on your end what brought you to these pages in the first place? And if you are not one of the c-suits mentioned and not HR, why are you so frustrated about what’s been said on some lousy forum that you had to write a whole drivel about it?
Your mental health should be your No.1 priority, so if you feel that some internet content might distract you from focusing on that, just skip it/stop visiting. Always a better solution than stressing about it or trying to change other people’s behavior.

Wise advise. You are a paragon of the community. thelayoff.com should just shut down as you have pointed out this site is irrelevant. But then how would I get your sage advice in the future? And why are you even here if this is a wasteland of nothingness.
