Last week. Manager came back and asked if there is anything Juniper can do to reverse the decision. Flattered but can't work here anymore. Too much uncertainty. Not sure if manager himself will keep his job. Go to start up time. Juniper was a great place to work once. However falling faster than a grand piano out of a 10th floor window at present.
IMHO
Here is my suggestion, to those who are planning to leave Juniper now...
find a job, with a start date in November (11th, 20th)
if Juniper decides to include you in the layoff, “take the package” with severance pay
if not, quit a few days after the layoff in October ( 11th or 23rd )
start your new job in November
The most important thing here is to get a severance package... even if it is a few weeks/months pay.
Good info but wrong thread, I will copy this post to @Pz70LSP
Rumours are heavy in EMEA about the impending layoffs. BUt we have not heard anything concrete. The brickheaded new EMEA boss, since he started in July, has told us multiple times that he is "about numbers only" and knows only one way to meet them. At the last-all-hands call told us explicitly that "numbers needed to improve" and for us "to accept the oncoming changes". The message is clear. Our products , except for the Telco routing and DC switching platforms, cannot compete. Arista and even Cisco are ahead of us in datacenter (look at Gartners). SDWAN is immature, not nearly ready for market and Cisco already has production level deployment of SDWAN with Viptela and NSO. Customers have no confidence in Juniper Security products - last quarter alone we missed 4-5 millions in sales for security alone. The writing, if the pub-brawler of the new EMEA boss is to be believed, is on the wall.
Come on, guys, be nice
Let OP vent. It is part of the fun in leaving juniper.
Have to agree with the below. Keep it specific to information about layoffs.
If you have any specific data or rumors regarding the layoffs, please post. Else refrain from posting useless one off “Resigned”, “Leaving” or “Fed up” posts. Nobody gives a sh--.
Hope you take this God given opportunity to help Make America Great Again.
Cheers to you!
smart move. good luck.
A smart choice
Good luck
