Why F5 calls Human first, without knowing what is Human first.
If they lay off people who are not performing, they could have done when company overall under performing and CEO is taking a pay cut.

company doing well and CEO paid well, then cutting people is not called Human first, it is called Performance first and CEO first approach.

@OP Perhaps it is too "complicated".
