"There are no conversations around layoffs or reductions in force taking place in July." - they will be in two weeks, in August, just about time for the financial end of the year. Besides, no talks are required; the "AI" will sort it out.

There are no conversations around layoffs or reductions in force taking place in July.
I'm embarassed to admit that I once was an employee of F5.
yup - f5 is surely "human first". right up there with another company I worked for long ago that "humans are our most important asset".
I was let go as a remote individual earlier this week too
Just going to leave this here:

So very sorry to hear this....sigh
I was layed off in Spokane.
At the rate it's going F5 is going to get acquired by a leveraged buyout firm who fires all the useless execs and sells the tech to better managed companies who know how to bring products to market. The incompetence and arrogance of managers at this company is staggering.
F5 will continuously seek cost-saving measures by reallocating jobs to India.
Layoffs? They are an ongoing consideration for the executive teams. Over the past 18 months, nearly 13% of employees have been let go, and this trend may increase, especially if the financial results do not meet market expectations.
isn't it cheaper to hire dirs and VPs in Hyderabad?
PIP is notice to be fired.
Rarely survivable.
Sigh...
Yup its about time to schedule a "trash" day to make sure those accounting books are all nice and shiny
There are two signs. First is the PIP. If you are put on PIP after a "performance" review, it's likely they will replace you soon with someone in India. Second is the inability to log in to your laptop. You work or try to log in in the morning, and suddenly, you see the equivalent of the "Blue screen of death". In the first place, there is a sign. In the second, well. You just got disconnected, trashed, logged out. They will either call you or send an email to your private address with instructions on how to return company equipment. Mind that at this stage, some Indians have already been interviewed for your position.
