Smartest people are jumping off the riverboat at alarming speeds. My manager has been offered a retention bonus to stick around.
Anyone else being offered $$ to not leave?

Movie references awesome! Riverbed reminds me of a zombie apocalypse movie where the zombies would mindlessly do and repeat the same trivial tasks every day. Like Riverbed, these zombies weren't thinking, had no emotions (for the living), and didn’t even do a good job at the task they were doing. So yeah, it’s exactly like Riverbed
If Riverbed was the titanic in the movie Titanic”, it would be at the part where the ship is completely vertical, nose diving into ocean. The difference being the captain(s) of the titanic would already be in their own life crafts speeding away.
Hasn’t riverbed restructured enough? What else can be done? Get rid of more products?
I’m certain this restructuring will create some momentum for us. People leaving aren’t very smart after all.
Manager talked about restructuring of the business yesterday, looks like the rumors are true
Quote from @ucb: “ Riverbed has no idea who the smart ones are, so I’d imagine the answer is no.”
I’ll add to this. Whomever Riverbed believes are smart are MOST DEFINITELY not, just politicians and are contributing to this ship sinking. The unfortunate part, these people don’t even know.
That post is FUNNY!!
Well Riverbed is plugging the leaks with out dated leaders and Aternity rejects so we are in good hands.

Sounds like HR are trying to counterplay here. I've been in R&D for a while, and would love to know what upcoming products are being developed. All I see is slight tweaks to the same old stuff we've been pushing...
