*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
Job market is still hot!
Anyone telling you otherwise are a fool who probably suck at their job. Plenty of jobs out there still to those deserving of one!!
TK and customers
More for sales, has TK met with any customers? Does he act normal and sound experienced?
recoomend labor attorney south florida?
does anyone have a labor attorney based in south florida that they worled with and would reccomend?
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
Who else was laid-off?
Talent team got the boot. Who else?
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
At one time, no one complained about working in the office
I don't understand how all of us could work in the office before and no one complained about it??? Before the pandemic, did you hear someone complaining about working from the office and not from home? I didn't.
No other CEO generated a negative response as strong as Krause
In my 35+ years of professional life I have never seen a new CEO generate a negative response even remotely like Krause. Everyone I know in Citrix put in tons of unpaid overtime in the last two years - we HAD to, to keep up with the workload... — 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
Your life begins anew, you are free of the bo----e and chains the incompetent management put you under. Look outside and see there is hope for you. All the rest that pleaded to stay inside, you are getting what you deserve. Layoffs are the best thing... — read more
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?
Cloud native load balancers will replace NetScalers somewhere in the future
Microsoft will consume all Citrix DaaS customers when their current subscriptions expire in 2-3 years.
$16 Billion In Debt
Think about it
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.
Termination risk by not Returning the Office and voiding severance
The Citrix that we all knew ceased to exist on September 30th. The new administration wants as many people to leave on their own as possible and mandating return to office is one of them. My question for the people keep saying they aren’t... — read more
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
Change your approach
Now is the time to start working smarter instead of harder. Start complimenting your boss, make sure that whatever you do makes him or her look good, and start kissing the right as--s. All of this will make sure you stay at Citrix no matter what. If... — read more
Thank you Day 28th October
The Citrix “Thank you day” of 28th October is back at some countries in Europe👍
All the secrecy
I'm so tired of all the secrecy. I'm tired of the leadership not trusting its own employees and not being transparent. We still have no idea what's really going to happen in the following days. After everything that has happened, we're still... — read more
Google acquisition?
If you Google "acquisition", the first result that comes up is the meaning as chosen by the dictionary. "Phantom’s hands quicker than eyes can see" - old jungle saying
Flex time starting in 2023: Got it. But what happens to accrued PTO on 12/31 is unclear.
The last TK communication was not clear on this issue (I am in California)....
I've made no effort to work in over a month
Am I the only one? Anyone else, I've done no "F_rking" work since the first TK all hands and surprised i'm still here. Tom, i'm not moonlighting but I am lounging rest and vest.
