My last day can’t come soon enough. This has to be the worst sales leadership in the whole industry. My 5 year old grandkid could do a better job than the SVP and he doesn’t whine n’ cry as much.
Which matters more to you?
I'm job hunting right now and what I'm finding is that some roles pay well but have mediocre titles while others have great titles but the salary is significantly lower. I wonder what matters more to the people here. The actual money in your pocket... — read more
Just offer the package already
Morale’s so low at this point that a decent package would probably have people leaving willingly instead of fighting to stay. A lot of us checked out mentally a while ago.
What to expect
Belden is acquiring Ruckus from Vistance for about $1.85B. Expected to close in the second half of 2026, pending regulatory approval. Between now and close, they will keep operating as separate companies — that’s a legal requirement, not a... — read more
belden got played by a used car salesman
The Ruckus-to-Belden sale has all the smell of a polished used-car pitch: shiny numbers, big promises, and just enough spin to make the buyer believe they were getting a prize. In my view, Chuck and the Carlyle playbook were not about building a... — read more

Great news for Chuck
Everyone is leaving in waves. You don’t have to plan anymore layoffs! 🤭 Word of advice to Chuck.. you want to treat your employee like numbers? Well your employees will treat this company like a number. We’re just here to do the bare minimum and... — read more
Silence
It’s oddly very quiet. How is the business going?
Why do anything?
We’re eliminating a lot of people. The round of layoffs like always are getting swept under the rug. We’re just expected to keep our heads down and focus on generating more revenue.
More restructuring, more layoffs
People are being asked to leave. When would this ever end?
The art of keeping your job
Honestly, lately I’ve just been really passionate about whatever my manager is passionate about. Turns out I have a lot of really strong opinions about their ideas and weirdly, all of them are great ideas. I’ve also been stepping up for the bigger... — read more
Question
Has anyone else been asked by their manager to write up everything they do, plus what each person on their team is responsible for?
Has anyone heard if the acquisition is expected to start this summer?
With the reorganization that’s been happening lately, and hearing there may be more changes coming, it seems like it could be part of preparing the company for a smoother acquisition. In situations like this, layoffs sometimes continue periodically... — read more
The Vistance Networks move is a classic "Prep-for-Sale" play
Let’s be real about why all support organizations are being moved under Vistance Networks: it’s to grease the wheels for selling off Ruckus and ANS. By stripping IT, Finance, and HR out of the main entities, they’re effectively lowering the... — read more
To leave or not to leave? That is the question
Every day I log in to work and think, why the fu-k am I still here? The pay sure as he-l isn’t keeping me around. My manager looks like they’re one bad meeting away from quitting, and the people reporting to me are obviously trying to get the he-l... — read more
Org structure for Vistance
When will the organisational structure for lower levels be announced. Waiting 7 weeks at this stage since the ccs sale went through. Beyond ridiculous... as my team advised on townhall weeks ago that it would be announced shortly!!!
American company? Not even close…
Another American company with 85% of its ‘team’ in low-cost countries and 3 confused dudes in the US pretending to be the HQ. Not really an American company anymore—just a flag of convenience for venture capital. 🇺🇸 in name only.
The new sales manager su-k
We’ve fired some of our strongest sales leaders and replaced them with people who are completely incompetent.
Any word on bonuses?
I don’t remember the last time we had a bonus 😅 Is there one happening this year? And do we know when it’d be paid out?
What happens to vistance networks if the 2 sub divisions are sold off?
Ok.. my understanding is depts such as Hr, finance and IT are vistance networks So what happens then if Ruckus and aurora networks are both sold off
RUCKUS layoffs Feb 2026?
Looks like some prominent people are out
There’s no need to leave. Take the severance.
I get why leaving makes sense, but there’s likely severance coming, and it could be enough to give you some real breathing room. maybe even allow you to take 2026 off.
What’s the best way to ask for a raise during challenging times?
Every time I bring up the topic of a raise with my boss, it gets dismissed. Meanwhile, the cost of living continues to INFLATE, and I’m struggling to make ends meet at home. I’ve been actively searching for other jobs. Applying to jobs every single... — read more
Why the fu-k bother working hard anymore?
Used to grind: stay late, extra projects, crush it. Reward? Emoji thumbs-up, 2% raise (lol inflation), then piled with more work. Meanwhile minimum-effort crew dips at 5 and skates by fine. Loyalty’s a one-way scam; hard work = free labor. Fu-k going... — read more
Resigned employees
An organization full of quiet people is not calm. It’s resigned. And resignation, unlike conflict, is very hard to reverse once normalized.
Okay, who’s responsible for these names?
“Vistance Networks” = Wi-Fi that arrives “within… vistance.” “Aurora Networks” = your internet goes out, but it’s beautiful while it happens.
Future of Aurora
Any rumours if Aurora networks could be sold like Ruckus? Will there be more layoffs?
RemainCo Town Hall
Here is what I heard from today`s Town Hall: EBIDTA is at a great level (90% of the employees doesn`t care, or have no idea what that is.) We should be very happy for the shareholders, as they will receive a min. 10$ divident / share. How nice... — read more
Sh-t people in management - read me
You sh-t managers stand out like a sore thumb. You’re not fooling anyone. We’re the people who actually make this company run, and it’s wild to hear you talk about “making things better” while your incompetence makes everything worse. You don’t solve... — read more
Is the rip apart on schedule?
Any updates appreciated.
HR boss is …
Top HR seat just emptied. The rest of HR is next in line—because duplicate roles are the first to get axed.
