Asked to provide a list of issues with a coworker

*This system is already underway. I was asked on Friday to provide a list of issues with a coworker so manager can put him on plan. The culture of collaboration and supporting each other is gone. I feel dirty for providing anything even the one minor... — read more

Poor planning

It's hard to believe how badly the "planning" is going. I don't know what's going on. My manager doesn't know what's going on. His manager hasn't spoken to the group in a month. The exalted high ruler himself last had a company-wide meeting nearly... — read more

Laughing Stock

I recently saw a post on LinkedIn regarding someone who was promoted after his entire team was eliminated. I'm still laughing... It's as if these people are living in a fantasy world. There's no sense continuing to work for what remains. Let me ask... — read more

Let's call a spade a spade

The main goal of the layoffs is to clear the highest salaries off the books. That's it. Of course, this does not apply to the top few levels, which contained by far the highest number of overpaid blowhards. This only applies to regular employees who... — read more

Bam, I was culled today

The day started with a call from my boss with HR on the line. She told me I was let go and blah, blah, blah. I didn’t care what she said. I was free from this cesspool of insanity. I thank the lord and Gaia for giving me the strength to survive the... — read more

It's awfully hard to get a job in this market

I just hope I don't get cut before I get a new job, but I'm getting desperate.... I'm curious, how long have you been looking for a job without success? Some say that job market could soon become even worse and that worries me a lot.

Be very wary of the new 1, 2, 3 forced ranking system

Buried in the recent communications email, there was a little point about the new year-end review system. It links to a recent post that states that the new year-end performance process will have three tiers: 1 for out-performers 2 for regular... — read more 

Thank you Tom Krause

For doing the things that everyone else was afraid to do. You have made us a stronger company.

Go over TK's head to end RTO?

It's clear TK will not or cannot ever comprehend the value of working remotely. All the complaining here (though justified) won't change that. But CSG is part of the Vista group. TK must answer to someone. Is there a way to appeal to someone above... — read more 

There is no bright side to surviving layoffs

First, even if you survive one round of layoffs, there's always the next one to look forward to, which you probably won't survive. Second, even if you survive, you'll have to deal with a drastically increased workload since somebody has to do the... — read more

RTO Takes Not Gives

Parenting is hard enough on it's own and when caring for a special needs child adds more challenges and remote work is a true blessing. During the pandemic we adjusted filled with joy working from home gave us flexibility greatly appreciative of... — read more 

The worst part about RTO?

There are many reasons why most people would like to work from home. I'm interested in what, to you, is the most objectionable aspect of RTO? Wasting time? Spending money on fuel? Coworkers?

NetScaler would be better off outside of Citrix

The best thing that could ever happen to NetScaler is to free itself of Citrix. It's actually a very good and capable product with potential under the right leadership but it never had a chance to actually compete since it was always associated with... — read more

Wake Up

Those of us who were hired prior to the 2019 were lied to…given a set of values and false expectations of a company built on integrity and doing the right thing. But the bottom line is the ELT and HR Employee Relations sold their souls for a few... — read more 

US based Citrix Talent Acquisition Team gone

Just saw on LI several posts from yesterday where the whole Talent Acquisition team in the US was laid off yesterday. Predicted here by several people. Probably more hiring to be done offshore than in US in the near future.

CONGRATULATIONS to all the layoffees so far

Drop in productivity

I will not do more than the bare minimum for the time being. I believe that there is currently a huge drop in productivity because nobody is so naive as to do their best while layoffs are looming above their heads?

Nobody cares

Nobody cares, the market, the partners, the customers and also the employees now don't care. Citrix is a company in state of Shift + Delete with no relevancy and credibility. Customers should shift left and move on to solutions that add value and... — read more

Make them pay you to leave

Do as little work as possible. You don't owe these cretins anything. THEY didn't hire you, and YOU didn't ask for them to take over. Make them lay you off and pay to do so. All they understand is money, so the more you cost them, the better. This... — read more

How does leadership make decisions?

It seems to me that they don't spend too much time thinking nor considering all the options thoroughly before making important decisions, which is worrying. I wish I was wrong.

Laid off shortly before retirement

It didn't happen to me, but I heard that it's not unusual for an employee here to be laid off even though he/she has very little left until retirement. How true is that? How frequent are such cases?

Most hated CEO ever?

Dear Tom Krause: do you understand just how despised you are? I have worked for several companies. I've never worked anywhere where the CEO was as hated as you. You're an embarassment and a clown. Enjoy your money.

My thoughts on the company, and why I decided to leave

I joined Citrix a couple of years ago and finally decided to leave this month. However, I don't regret my time here. I think Citrix was and still is to some extent a pretty relaxed company, and I enjoyed working on some interesting projects with... — read more
