Quick poll: in the US alone, there are 724 jobs with Vista companies. Thinking that we’ll lose our jobs at Citrix, by our choice or TK’s, would you consider working for one of them? I might, if I’m desperate. I’d prefer to avoid any Vista company... — read more
Motivating employees to leave
Citrix does not care at all that the best are leaving. As for me, I definitely intend to leave, but I'm afraid that it will be too late for this company when they realize that they have done irreparable damage to it. It's easy to cut... — read more
Look
Basically, I'm just not going to quit. I know.. UGH.. I know.. I'm sorry - really. I am just going to stay until they have to pay me severance.. HAHA
Rto motive

No regrets
I left a month ago. I know I could have waited for severance but I didn't want to risk not being able to find a job when everybody is laid off and looking at the same time. I have no regrets. My new job is with a smaller company and the difference in... — read more
What percentage are they aiming for?
There's got to be some number they have thought of that's the ideal number of employees for them. I wish they would communicate either that or the percentage of employees they plan to cut. I know it doesn't make a lot of difference to some whether we... — read more
Junping ship?
Wait until one of the new directors decides to jump ship. They might all be publicly putting on happy faces, but you know at least one of them is doing some thinking about their careers. P.S. a couple of them do not live near an office; will they... — read more
Be aware of the FUD
Hi all, as many of you, 10+ years Citrite waiting to see what happens. While we find a lot of interesting posts and information here, we also need to evaluate who might be the real poster. Could be people spreading fud, could be competitors, could... — read more
Pay cuts may be coming if not laid off
TK said base salaries will be adjusted to market. Who decides what "market" is? And if your current salary is above "market", I suppose you can expect a cut.
RSUs and April awards
Anyone has any experience with invested RSUs and layoffs? What about our awards from April, granted as a results of our performance in 2021? Any chance to get this money?
This is what you have to look forward to if you are one of the "lucky" ones

Office Closures?
I have a friend in commercial real estate in Raleigh. He believes Citrix is considering closing offices here. Does anyone know if Fl or SC is up for lease?
The truth about getting laid off as a Citrix employee
I’m a Citrite of 10+ years. I am getting cut in a couple weeks. I already know… 100%. I’ve been interviewing over the past month, so I’m heading out the door as prepared for this moment as much as I possibly can be. My feelings? The unfiltered truth... — read more
Obviously Citrix has no values
There was a comment comparing the downfall of Citrix to Enron. Looking up Enron’s history this is a fair comparison. Citrix no longer has a moral path…anything goes. Truth, respect, courage, curiosity and innovation are no longer valued. These have... — read more
New Software to be used
Love how the CEO made technology decisions... garbage technology decisions. Leave tech decisions about which software we should be using to people who understand tech. I can't wait for this to turn out just like Wrike and Slack - with a huge... — read more
TK quote: “If you want to advance in the company you must be in the office”
I guess TK believes that if you are not in the office then you are not a leader. I think TK wants to be Elon Musk. If you are remote then chances are high that you will either be laid off (aka fired) or they will decrease your title. All this right... — read more
Citrix will lose employees it wants to keep
When layoffs start to happen, especially with no end in sight, the best employees who have plenty of options will start leaving together with those laid off. I'm talking about the talent the company wants to keep. The ELT might see the increased... — read more
What a crazy and unprofessional way to find out you are out
When they just share an org chart and you are not on it. No communication, no respect
Is anybody here who was laid off and got a serverance? How was it calculated?
Typically it's a month's salary for each year of employment so curious to know what was offered.
How to save on tax for the stock buyback (India)
What are some tips to avoid paying heavy tax on the stock buy back?
For your own good - abandon ship
There are so many options outside of Citrix, great companies with great futures and still embracing remote work. I know how strong the connection can feel to Citrix when you have worked there for years, but trust me, it is liberating to break free. ... — read more
Unfair approach to layoffs
The leadership thinks that if layoffs are managed in this way, gradually getting rid of small numbers of people, it will avoid viral backlash and negative reporting in the media. But I think they are mistaken. Why? Because it is not conducting... — read more
ELT has no interest in Citrix being a great place to work
I honestly don't think this ELT has any interest in Citrix being a great place to work. $16.5 Billion is a lot of paper. What do you think their priority is? It certainly isn't making you happy. It is driving you into the ground until we have... — read more
Would you recommend a carrier in virtualization to a new computer science college graduate?
If a new CS college graduate asked you a question about a potential career, would you recommend work in the field of virtualization?
Thoughts on Hector’s email?
Seems like a lot of sales reps will be gone.
Citrix is a dumpster fire
If you get cut, consider yourself lucky!
History Repeats
In 1970 the average manufacturing worker made the equivalent of $42 per hour with an excellent benefits package. By 1990, US manufacturers moved operations off shore to reduce labor cost, taxes, overhead, and environmental regulations. Investors made... — read more
Executive leaders all hands?
In his email TK said all executive leaders will have their own all hands meetings. Has anyone received an invite? Per TK during these meetings we will find out if our position is staying or being eliminated.
Despicable way to treat employees
There are many employees who were hired remotely pre-pandemic and have worked at Citrix successfully. And, there are employees that were given permission by their senior leaders to move and officially work remotely. Exactly! Some people will be... — read more
I have to ask
Do people who are advocating for RTO not have families? Or do you simply don't like them all that much? I can't figure out any other reason why you would prefer to lose a minimum of an hour - or two and more for some of us - commuting each day rather... — read more

November 18

Rto
I know that lately there’s been a lot of negative comments about RTO. But I was wondering is anyone excited to return to the office? I personally missed interacting with my fellow peers!
It’s Double Dip time!
For those that are still there, I’d try your damndest to find a new job and focus 100% on fulfilling the new job and put 10% on maintaining a Citrix paycheck. Double dip the heck out of them, build your rainy day fund and you’ll be forever grateful... — read more
RTO strategy
