Any idea if Netscaler BU will also have layoffs 9th/10th of Jan?

I don't think I've ever been as anxious about layoffs as I am now. How safe do you feel in your position? I hope that I will survive these cuts.

I got my layoff notice as soon as the new year began. The ba----ds just gave me papers and a kick. I’m happy it happened, I didn’t want to be in this god forsaken shithole anymore. I was just waiting for my package. Happy new year everybody. I’m... — read more

How else to explain excessively unrealistic expectations except that they are trying to get as many of us as possible to quit. I am drained.

Here is to you Tom for a great 2022 and looking forward to another layoff filled 2023. You have made the difficult choices in 2022 for this mismanaged company but we are all better off that you got rid of all the losers and clingons in the company... — read more
