Thread regarding F5 Networks Inc. layoffs

It's people first shown the door when profits aren't 35% or better

If Prophet has any clue of what’s going on in TS Etc, he would first chop the clueless leaders..

Might be why the trend in letting go or terminating older-tenure IC's and such; these are the folks over the past ten years who remember some better days, when the place was actually into its people and they were handing out vacations for just doing your job awesome. I mean, if I were that company and wanting to be more like Amazon, I'd have to start by changing the culture, but without changing the "human-centric" wording. So fire/lay off everyone who has that old-style view of "human-centric" and retain the sheep who won't question the wool over their eyes.

Yes. Perfectly said. Trust is gone.

It used to be part of core values. Now it's just lip service.

You mean “Prophet First”, right?

Shareholders must be people. Ya know ..like Corporations lulz

Human First is BS slogan. This place is empty, doesn’t allow people to be creative, take care about engineering quality and to grow. I bet most people, as in many companies, feel burned out.
Just watch and think if it resonates: https://youtu.be/raVms8w61No?si=pWpRIRZuDWZUFx20

"Human First was a cute HR tagline that gave people a warm & fuzzy feeling while product revenue growth was in the double digits."

It's the same in every company. It's a gimmick to make employees believe they matter, whereas they are just a row in a spreadsheet.

At F5 networks...absolutely. Sc--w the employees.....take care of the shareholders at all costs!!!!

Human First was a cute HR tagline that gave people a warm & fuzzy feeling while product revenue growth was in the double digits.

Every publicly traded company is a shareholder value first company. F5 is no exception. When revenue growth does not materialize, EPS can only be improved by cutting cost. F5 will remain an “EPS First” company until it returns to double digit product revenue growth.
