Can someone check workday and findout how many full time employess F5 has now

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

Layoffs this morning

Now I have a feeling like I've put a target on my own back. Don't make the same mistake and trust HR.

the quarterly sales numbers are great, yet we cant hire any new help, plus no travel plus a very limited budget for events? is f5 on the brink of going down the tubes???? where is all this big money going to???/

A protracted quest for justice occurs when a person becomes destructively obsessed with righting a perceived wrong. In organizational psychology, it describes an ex-employee whose pursuit of "fairness" outlasts any practical benefit, ultimately... — read more 

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.

,,, oened up in India after the April 2023 RIF doing? Release dates all met? Code excellence? New technology advances?

Was there small RIF today , heard that few folks were let go

HR leaders are confirming the new reality. F5 is trading years of expertise for these external "strategic" hires. Long-term employees across various departments are just being phased out with no announcement or acknowledgment of what they built... — read more

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

I am an NGINX Dev and I'm worried about my friend that works in F5 Digital. I can confirm forced resigns are happening in US and India. Be careful joining F5 Digital Team. If you've doubts, confirm with your friends at F5.

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…..

I'm so ashamed I unknowingly participated in the lie. F5 CEO Compensation History 2025: 23.04 Million 2024: 18.,04 Million 2023: 11 Million 2022: 12.8 Million 2021: 11.5 Million

I just noticed that bunch of people left the chats, and they are not available any more. Was there any layoff recently? How many people were cut?

I heard that maybe some things at f5 are turning around but liking st the job postings i don’t see a difference or shift in direction No longer there but curious since this page got quiet since February.
