Why hasn't a main stream jounalistic reporting website not reported this event? Something is odd here

No ideas as I saw people who delivered few things are let go?

Regrettably this RIF/layoff will be kept quiet and the details of how many and where will never become a part of the public domain. To the rest of the world it never happened

Just wondering if anyone noticed any patterns in this round of layoffs? for example, whether certain groups seemed disproportionately affected, such as women, LGBTQ+ employees, employees over 40/50, racial or ethnic minorities, people of certain... — read more 

I heard it's a signficant cut that includes me.

I left F5 Networks due to its shift to share holder value over quality of products

someone was supposed to come in to a meeting and messaged last minute that they got fired. rumors are flying that they weren't the only one

Am I the only one who is worried about Q3 results and what that'll mean for us? We know this leadership will use all and any opportunity to justify even more layoffs, and this could be a prime one.

New surveillance commissioner in board of directors? https://finance.yahoo.com/sectors/technology/articles/f5-adds-anand-eswaran-board-201000022.html

F5 started adopting forced resignations instead of layoffs. Recently did let go 22 members and no one is talking about it. It's very hard to choose a person from your team.

Soon…..
