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'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

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

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

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.

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

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?

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
