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

@11w he can pull it off as he is chairman and CEO - total control. Not my idas of a "leader"
@11w When FLD became CEO, community and charity stopped
@ae back when I first joined f5 I found out that f5 wasn't using its own products internally. I was puzzled at the time. They then started to use their own. With the security breaches they have had especially the one in 2025 makes perfect sense now
I find it interesting that a CEO who believes high performers are intrinsically motivated so paying above a certain level doesn't yield better performance yet he continues to ask and get more compensation. With regard to giving to the community, doesn't charity begin at home by keeping employees and paying them market salaries?
@ae Oh, it’s a very interesting situation. VERY interesting. We’re supposedly experiencing record-breaking productivity. Absolutely tremendous productivity, the greatest productivity anyone has ever seen. And somehow a huge number of people are suddenly gone.
But information? Oh no. Can’t have that. Everything is completely transparent, except for the part where they tell you absolutely nothing. Very transparent. Beautiful transparency.
So naturally, people are asking questions. Could it possibly be another major security incident, like the one conveniently followed by the layoffs last summer? Who knows? Maybe it’s completely innocent.
But if there’s nothing to hide, why hide everything? Don't trust them!
@ae a good and interesting question
It's a weird one. It comes at supposed record productivity time, and it appears to be a pretty large number of people, but they are hiding all info. Could this be the cover up of another major security incident like the layoff last summer?
