new layoffs ?
Anyone expecting new layoffs today after a disastrous Q1?
Layoffs today
No idea how many.
How’s it going?
Haven’t popped into Layoff for many months. Come in today and the last comment is like 4 months old. Did RVBD close the doors? Does the corpse have a pulse? Can someone provide an overview of what’s going on? How have the last couple of quarters... — read more
Why are you still at Riverbed?
No judgement on your reasons. I'm curious, for the folks who are still actually working at Riverbed: why? Or is this forum entirely made up of bitter ex-Riverbuddies now?

More layoffs today!
But not surprisingly no executives! Feed that fat!
Tone deaf town hall, showing off luxurious presidents club, and flashy “Vegas” studio for SKO and Webcast while no raises in years.
All while engineering in the comments begging for raises for their hard work stating we haven’t gotten raises in years, and then Dave lectures the entire company stating he’s answered this question THREE times and goes on an unhinged tone deaf rant... — read more
Is Riverbed’s Ai good?
I don’t know anything about Ai but I keep hearing about it and it sounds like everybody thinks its important. So I have no idea…. Is Riverbed’s Ai good or not? No haters no bs I just want to know what to think here.
Spies amongest you
Are you an older employee? Maybe a long time older employee? Have some medical issues? Want extra time to spend with your new baby? Have your ducks lined up because your manager will exploit your humanity to lay you off. Riverbed leadership will only... — read more
Where can I find info on severance?
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

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

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

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
