What does the severance packages look like for the people who were laid off today. Praying for a better job soon.
No need to feel ashamed about being laid off
Don't let Citrix discourage you. Isn't it very obvious that one's skillset and abilities have little to do with the choice of who becomes the target? I hope that your skills will be valued in new companies because in this sinking company they would... — read more
What motivates TK thread?
Serious questions. What do you think motivates TK? Gets up every morning to do the sh-t he does? Goes to bed feeling the way he does? How does one get motivated in life for that? More to life than that. Ge-z-us Can’t be just money. Wonder if... — read more
What's the end goal for the Citrix assets?
What a sad day for Citrites and thoughts for all the affected employees. What's next for the remains of Citrix? Asset sales of the Crown Jewels like NetScaler and Citrix Cloud to Microsoft (or AWS/VMware)?
What's the endgame here?
There's a point when cuts go so deep that it affects productivity. I firmly believe we've reached that point. Now what? Hiring cheaper but less experienced people? Outsourcing to India or anywhere else in Asia or Eastern Europe? Is that the final... — read more
Any contractors affected?
Does anyone know?
It is not easy to stay positive in these hard times
I know it's not easy to think that way when you get fired or the ax is hanging over your head, but there is definitely a life outside Citrix! Pretty much everyone I know who was previously laid off from here or left, is now in a much better... — read more
Citrix Systems layoffs
Citrix has not released an official statement on the layoffs. If someone would like to discuss what's happening at the company, please drop me an email at agonsalves@techtarget.com. Also, my condolences to those people who have lost their... — read more
LAST DAY! I got my webinar invite...
...w/ subject line "Invitation: Group Meeting with HR". Access to online resources like Slack, email & calendar should dry up w/i the hour—b/c, again, I'm done TODAY! SO EXCITING!! It's my first lay-off since 2015 and my first mass lay–off EVER!!!... — read more
Are US Notifications Done?
9:35AM PST. No news yet. Haven't heard anything from anyone I know either. Is the worst behind us?
Why are the once waiting for package not raising their hands
…so the once which are motivated working for CSG (not Citrix, not Tibco, not Sharefile, not etc) can stay???? I was layed off today!!!
Mark Templeton
Long live Mark Templeton. Those were the days. He was protecting the top performers. Wish him the best.
Is CSG Doomed to Fail/Go Bankrupt?
Virtualization is a legacy technology. Increasingly, more and more customers are migrating away from their legacy apps to SaaS offerings. Citrix's answer to the transition to SaaS was SPA/Gateway Service for SSO/Secure Access to SaaS. However, Okta... — read more
65 people made redundant in Ireland
Most CSMs, CSEs, Sales and Technologists will be made redundant in Ireland. Today the email was received
What's the total we can expect?
How large is the current layoff? Is there any way to know?
Any news about Asia offices?
Praying for all
Today will be a long day
With Australia and Europe done, it's our turn now. Good luck, everybody! May those who want to leave be granted their wishes, and those who want to stay have an uneventful day devoid of any notifications.
If I don't have a meeting scheduled, does that mean I will not be laid off?
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm new and petrified. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on.
I'm almost hoping to be laid off
If I'm not, all I have to look forward to is more work. Our team is already understaffed so losing even a single person will make life a living he-l for the rest of us. At least being laid off provides a new start with a decent safety net (at least... — read more

Leftovers will be culled soon enough
So it’s official, if you survive Jan 10th as a leftover the clock starts ticking and in 6 months you are culled. You can always take pride and quit and get nothing. In any event, TK has you by the ba--s (or equivalent) and you can’t do anything about... — read more
Received notification yet?
Has anyone received the layoff notification yet? What does the severance package look like?
Tom Krause must be a security expert…
…because we’ve all got Zero Trust in him.
How you get "notified"!
I was told that some people in the Asia Pacific region logged in after the close of their business hours today and saw their invites to the group meeting. Looks like the powers that be were ready and waiting to hit send. It's possible the same will... — read more
No "pins and needles" feeling
I do not agree that the only ones left here are those without talent and the possibility to find another job. How do you explain that there are so many people here who don't care at all whether they will be laid off or not? I notice that most of... — read more
Jan 10th or die slowly over 6mos
Read through TK's low grade composition email and got me thinking. Some on JAN10th will be cut, if you're not eliminated then you may be cut over the next 6 months. Going back to basics here folks, how the F__---___K is this constructive?
Will Support in ADC, CVAD, and CEM be reduced?
According to Krause’s email headcount in IT, legal, finance, and HR will be heavily reduced while they seem to be investing more in Support. But some are talking about potential layoffs in some support BUs. Support has been stretched thin for a... — read more
For the leftovers what’s it like to work in a shithole company like shitrix
Asking for a friend…
January 10th next round of layoffs
It’s coming next week. Don’t be the id--t that has their head in the sand calling everyone troll. Just because the ostrich in the sand denies the truth around them everyone else should understand the real impact this will have on your lives in the... — read more
It's surprising that we can function at all
Management does not care that job stress is causing health ailments nor that the most competent of us who are still here will soon find new jobs elsewhere. I believe that many often wonder how we manage to function at all, considering that some... — read more

Bonuses getting slashed?
What is happening to our VCIP bonuses? Are our targets getting slashed? For instance, my bonus is 10% of my base. Yet, is that being reduced? If so, what is the new target?
