Are people the most valuable asset at Juniper Networks?

In this article, Ivan Gorski explains why people (with experience and know-how) are the most valuable asset in tech companies.

If this is true, why does the leadership at Juniper not reallize this, and jump at the chance to layoff people with knowledge of the business? They treat us as if the land at the Sunnyvale campus is more valuable. I have heard Google will acquire Juniper someday, just to get the land. At the rate we are going, and laying off experienced people, this maybe a reality sooner than we think.

People are valuable at Juniper only if they are willing to spread their legs and let their bosses have wicked ways with them.

At Juniper, only the relatives and friends of influential people & contrail employees, are valued.

LOL. Google execs. Smart, but don't really understand the industry - where the money is really made.

Every company has to make the little people feel valued.. "you're all talented, or you won't be here".. "you have a great deal! we look after our people"..

IMHO, No. Not the employees.

The most valuable asset for Juniper is the customer base, which unfortunately is losing faith in the company they once trusted and relied on to take them forward with evolving communications needs. Sadly, juniper as a company has failed to keep up with technology and demands of many of these long standing customers.

The second most valuable asset are the patents.

The third most valuable asset is the land at Sunnyvale.

Lastly, the people.

Not really. How can 1 person really transform the company. He has been there less than a year.

Changing the company takes courage and with all the noise around its harder to execute. And thats when true leaders come out. He might change or might not but everybody in the company along with every employee should take it forward to revive the company.

How many people are really ready to try and make it revive?

I believe just a handful of them, others think there is another brighter opportunity outside.

“Experience and know-how” are the reasons we picked up the new CTO, Bikash Koley from Google. How do you think that’s working out? Not well!

Google must have a master plan - get Juniper to run itself down into the ground and buy it for peanuts to acquire the land.
