I just was told via AskHR my severance is being paid out over 8 months following the usually bimonthly pay cycle. My 32 weeks of severance will take them 8 months to pay. Maybe its a cost saving mechanism, but holy he-l keeping all the laid off... — read more 

I hear the leader charmed everyone into RTO during his last all-hands in BLR.

I was in the layoff. Has anyone had any luck with AskHR? I had a problem with my documentation and I've been trying since last week to get a response.

I’m not coming in to the office as is most of my team. The couple of times I went in, there was hardly anyone around. RTO, like every other TK initiative is a big fat joke.

Ok, TK, you want to play this game? I’m staying. You’re not running me out of here. And, I’m doing the bare minimum possible and will take FMLA leave (can’t take THAT away, porkie!) or just riding it out until I get my severance. Bottom line: IF YOU... — read more

I find it funny how many posters feel the need to convince others that they have to leave Citrix, "now, damn it!" Why would I want to leave? My life has improved significantly since I realized that no matter what I do my chances of being laid off are... — read more 

Citrix is dead. It started to die in 2009 when Mark Templeton just decided to lay off 10% of employees before the Great Recession hit in an attempt to recoup some stock value. Citrix could have resurrected itself in 2012 when XenApp and XenDesktop... — read more

Sometimes I think that, regardless of everything, we employees care more about the future of this company than our leadership does. In fact, I can't even call them leaders, because there is a lot more to being a leader than just cutting expenses... — read more

It's obvious.

Just Curious

Great to see how Citrites are now at one another's throats now that the layoffs are done. If there's a bright side, this ridiculous thread should calm down once everyone is gone.

AFAIK Citrix Greece employees have not yet been affected by the layoffs. It was communicated that the process will take a bit longer in order to be in line with local legislation. Is there anyone in Greece that was affected by the layoffs?

I feel sorry for people affected and I hope that everyone will find better jobs soon. What is unclear is how this company intends to continue functioning without all the knowledgeable people who have been laid off. Wouldn't it be more rational... — read more
