The company signed up for a shiny new domain. This one stayed exactly where it has been since before the company existed: with the founder who bought it personally, long before day one. This isn't the official Scandron website. It's a lamp left on, a mirror on the wall, and a place where current and former employees of Scandron and its sister companies can say what press releases won't.
Click anywhere to launch a rocket. Unlike some explanations we're still waiting for, it actually arrives. The snow is fake too, but at least it's honest about it.
To everyone who has ever worked at, with, or around Scandron and its sister companies: the engineers, pilots, ops and sales folks, the interns on mute, and anyone who ever typed scandron.com out of habit.
Diwali is about light winning over darkness, so this year a lamp has been left on here. No anger, and no crackers aimed at anyone. Just a small, steady light, the kind that makes it hard to pretend a room is empty.
Light does one simple thing: it shows what is there. Stories have a way of drifting over time, and a small, convenient untruth repeated often enough starts to sound like a fact. A lamp doesn't argue with that. It just lets everyone see for themselves.
So this page has three jobs. It sets the record straight where we know the facts first-hand. It gives the people who did the work a place to share their experience in their own words. And it adds a little sarcasm, because some things are easier to say with a smile.
If anything here is wrong, say so and it will be corrected. If you have something to add, the door is open. No NDA, no "let's take this offline", no circling back.
Things that have been going around, next to what's actually true. Just the facts, served with a sparkler.
Heard another one? Post it in the Mirror as "Setting the record straight", with what you know first-hand.
Imagined conversations from an imaginary boardroom. Any resemblance to real meetings is purely… a resemblance.
Hover or tap to translate. Compiled from years of town halls, all-hands, and emails that said nothing at length.
Signed by nobody, understood by everybody.
Got the shares. The domain (a founder's personal purchase from before day one), the goodwill, and the benefit of the doubt were never in the box.
"My door is always open." *door opens onto another, locked door*
Live system status, updated whenever someone tells us something. So, rarely.
Diwali, Christmas and New Year, all in one season of giving. Some people give gifts. Some give "feedback". Here's a fair exchange.
Thoughtful presents for people who have everything, except answers.
Modest requests. Santa says most of them are "under strategic review".
Thirty seconds to shoot down as many corporate excuses as you can. No Type Certificate. No board approval. No "let's discuss next quarter".
Click to fire. Aim with WASD or arrow keys, shoot with Space. Gold drones carry an actual answer — rare, worth 3. Don't hit the akash kandil.
For current and former employees of Scandron and its sister companies in the same group. Your experience, your words, rated on the official Cracker Scale. Some careers went up like a rocket. Some fizzled like a damp anaar.
Questions we've been asked, answered more directly than anyone else has.
No. The official one lives at a new domain. You've probably already forgotten what it is. That's not our fault, but we won't pretend it isn't funny.
Because it was never the company's. One of the founders bought it personally, long before Scandron was officially formed. You can take over a company. Taking over somebody's personal purchase is a different hobby.
Not at all. It's Diwali. We're lighting lamps, not fuses. The sarcasm is just how light looks when it hits a closed door.
We're holding up a mirror. What anyone sees in it is between them and the mirror. Stories in the Mirror are the personal views of the people who wrote them.
Yes, please. A real reply would be the most surprising thing to happen here since the domain didn't transfer. Write to info@scandron.com and we'll publish a fair response.
Absolutely. The Mirror is for everyone in the group, as long as you follow the four rules above.
It was bought with personal money before the company existed, so that's entirely its owner's call. So far the answer has been a lamp, a mirror and a lot of sarcasm.
Not the company, not its leadership, and not any founder making a statement. Think of it as a lamp that lights the room and a mirror that reflects it. The stories come from the people who've worked there.
Anyone named in a Mirror post, or the company itself, can ask for a correction, add a response, or request a takedown of anything that crosses the line. Write to info@scandron.com. A lamp only works if it lights both sides of the room.
