I called a friend at F5 to discuss stock. He is very happy that stock price tanked. He mentioned that he will buy more espp stock for the current cycle as well and optimistic that stock go to $500 range again. Looks like he is going to make 30-40k a year in espp. He is going to have quality hotizontal time with that money. Congrats to all of you who has this benefit.

@b0 stop impersonating trump. its so annoying. be original
@c4 I must be reading different surveys what I see Is employee moral is tanked
I keep reading that employee morale is "in the basement", but the surveys show improvement year over year in pretty much every stat.
The stock price collapse might make Espp more attractive, but it's also assuming f5 can recover even a portion of what it lost. I think that could take many years. Otherwise the Espp is just a normal 15% you take advantage of.
@OP. Gkad to see that stock prices ranks over quality of products
You can't make $30-40k a year in ESPP. Once you make $25k the rest gets refunded. On the positive side, similar to last year's security incident, this could help set a reasonably low grant price on RSU allocations for 2027 though. Of course, that benefits our benevolent leadership the most, and almost makes you wonder about the timing of these things ...
@OP Give FLD a standing ovation! The stock price is diving nose-first, down over 30%, employee morale is somewhere in the basement, and management's brilliant response is to preach AI, cybersecurity, and drag everyone back to the office. GENIUS! Apparently, AI will solve everything, security will magically improve, and three days a week sitting in an office will somehow reverse a collapsing stock price. Tremendous strategy! Meanwhile, management seems to be operating in a parallel universe where PowerPoint presentations count as reality and corporate slogans qualify as leadership. The employees? They've heard it all, seen it all, and frankly, couldn't give a damn anymore. But don't worry, folks, everything is GREAT! The vision is HUGE, the leadership is INCREDIBLE, and the disconnect from reality is absolutely HISTORIC. Nobody does corporate comedy better!
