Can somebody please help me out? I've heard there's a possibility of layoffs before the end of the year and I joined a little over six months ago. I'm petrified that I might be affected and I'm not even sure if I'd be eligible for severance. Is there... — read more
Layoffs in winter?
Anyone aware of any further plans for sizeable layoffs? Everything's gone silent.
How is RT still here?
He is such a bag of hot air, making claims about all the great things we're doing but all the products still have all the same problems. A lot of talk with little action and progress. New things don't make old problems go away. The new stuff is... — read more
Has riverbed gone down the drain yet?
What’s the latest on rvbd? . Are they hitting their revenue goals? Did Tworek and his useless Dunning Kruger brown nosing loser staff members achieve anything with their POS “observability” product ? Are they still laying off senior experienced... — read more

Riverbed engages in shady employee termination practices

Why are we still here?
I came here to find out if there are layoffs coming. Instead I found this short and sad gist of the state of affairs. Maybe I shouldn’t fear the layoffs after all? Riverbed is a shadow of its former self with ZERO chance of profitability or... — read more
New Acceleration leader
Anyone seen the new guy for Acceleration? Does he come into HQ? Is he the miracle for our woes or just the next dude to wipe out more value? Curious to see if I should speed up my exit
What is the end game?
I can only see bankruptcy and liquidation is the only end game I can think of. The other options would be IPO or acquisition. There is no way they can IPO until they become reasonably profitable, which I see no path towards. Acquisition would be... — read more
F your package
F Riverbed's HR/Legal cronies. The default package handed out is a complete insult to those who gave it their all. I hope you did right by you by not accepting their original cr-p offer. Shame on you.

Expiring annual revenue
Yep… RVBD is living on renewals. Renewals pulled their a$$ out of the fire for every quarter so far….ARR : annual recurring revenue. But it’s not recurring forever. Especially if there are no new innovations. And there aren’t. Also note... — read more
Official Riverbed Communication Channel
Let’s make ‘the Layoff’ the official channel for communication as the company will no longer afford its people this courtesy and respect. The silence from leadership is deafening. MB where are you? Crawl out from under your rock and face the people... — read more
More people being “disappeared “….
It’s Oct, a new quarter and it looks as though more people are being “disappeared “. Anybody know anything?
Work/life balance
My work/life balance has completely disappeared. I'm getting more and more work which I'm expected to finish by a certain date, while nobody asks if it's even possible or not. I have a feeling this is intentional. Riverbed wants to force us to leave... — read more
Prediction for the end game
Prediction for the RVBD End game: Vector Capital cuts down to the bone to be profitable. Lots of layoffs, elimination of everything nonessential. There is still a good bit of revenue to be had for a while from SH /NPM renewals and continued... — read more

The knives are out for the old guard

Severance?
Are severance packages still being handed out post-Vector buyout? I suspect cuts to my team is on the horizon.
I honestly don't know how long I can last...
Started here less than a year ago, and trying to make it to a year mark but man it is difficult. Had I known what I was getting into, I wouldn't have jumped ship from my last place to this, but as somebody who came from a place that ran like a well... — read more

The sh*t is hitting the fan today
Layoffs
When are layoffs going to happen?
“This transaction is an exciting step forward for Riverbed that will enable us to build on the strong momentum underway."
Isn't downward momentum considered a death spiral?
What's the Vector, Victor.........
Looks like the white knight has arrived! Read the filings carefully to see how much Danny and his band of merry id--ts will be receiving in severance......
Your dictatorship is stupid
I bleed red, white, and blue and thank you for your service but for God’s sake, stop with your militaristic ways of management and attitude. It’s ineffective and no one gives a flying phuck. Your pewpew training isn’t as transferable as you might... — read more
All they want is cheaper
One year under TB, another round of layoffs or restructuring, whatever they call it. QAD didn't hit their revenue targets but did hit our EBITDA goal, which seems like its the only goal that matters since its directly tied to everyone's bonuses. On... — read more
Nepotism is out of control at Riverbed
I'm hoping to be laid off just to get away with something to show for it.
We need relevant and useful tech
Riverbed is going to go out of business if they don’t develop some relevant and useful tech. Use your experience as a stepping stone to a better place. Sadly, this here is the truth. This used to be a great place to have a career, but lately, it's... — read more
Leadership changes are rampant
How is anyone supposed to build a career when your leadership changes out like you change your undies (daily). Incompetent hiring managers hiring incompetent leaders. Love the ⭕️ jerk.
