That is another study on productivity. This whole RTO ploy is to cause attrition. For all the bluster about data mr CEO could have just googled for these innumerable studies proving it time and again remote is better !

As this article outlines and is a systematic study done by McKinsey whose consultants these companies hire, IT can work remotely with 0 productivity loss for the most part. This whole nonsense about being data driven is horse manure at best ! T... — read more 

It's that simple. Do you have at least basic level integrity? Then why won't you do the same!? It's not worth the money..

Along with a myriad of red flag change announcements at the Oct 4th GEM and foreshadowing of more to come, Tibo+Citrix leadership announced they are doing their employees a "huge favor" by demanding employees "return" to an office 5 days a week... — read more 

As others have said, “I’m doing this for your own good” is insanely patronizing. As someone who currently basically works all hours to support teams in multiple time zones, I will be LESS productive if I am having to put in a commute, and end my day... — read more 

Data and transparency, please. “Other companies are doing it” is neither.

Citrix bought Wrike from Vista for 2.5B. Wrike had negligible revenue. Citrix ELT tanks stock - No one believes 2021 was an accident. Vista uses 2.5B in cash and Tibco Equity to bankroll 16B in debt for CTXS acquisition. Citrix ELT parachutes out... — read more 

I’m wondering if anyone else has received a letter regarding an employee lawsuit.

Despite the risk of long covid, new co. ELT encouraging attendance of the GEM at an on-site watch room. At FTL at least, that's hundreds of people packed together, sitting shoulder-to-shoulder. I, of course, will not attend that way (I'll use the... — read more 

In the months leading up to the deal’s closing, many longtime Citrix employees left the company, many reportedly from layoffs. Sources close to the company expect that more layoffs will follow... — read more 

Was anyone overpaid in their 401ks by Citrix? I was overpaid by $805 and they sent a letter to transfer it back to them using a fidelity address With all of the turmoil going on, I’m thinking of just ignoring it and see if they just send me a 1099... — read more 

Is everyone ready to be slightly pacified but mostly disappointed? I’m going into this thing with low expectations- expecting to get a few answers, but not as many as I’d like. I’m one of the ones who found myself yesterday without a team or leader... — read more 

They were much smaller than we expected but we do know at least some people were affected. My biggest fear is that this will continue for weeks or even months - small cuts each day. Small enough that few people would even notice it happened but... — read more 

Nobody got layed off since friday as some of the fortune tellers were anticipating. Stop creating false rumors, creating gossip with no fundamentals… just wait for the BU all hands and then we will see..

I'm going ahead an accepting a new position outside of Citrix. What happens to my unused PTO days? I've been looking on Workday and Backstage and cannot find the policy that explains it. I'm wondering if they pay it all out, a portion of it, or none... — read more 

Ultimately I decided not to RTO. And no one bothered me or questioned me. A few colleagues have told me that attendance in Raleigh and Fort Lauderdale was light today. Did enough people finally say no thank you to the RTO chaos?

October 17 sounds about right

Does anyone knows if there will be layoffs of SE's....

Has anyone noticed the remaining managers who survived the layoffs are incompetent clowns. They like to hear themselves talk, interrupt others, ramble endlessly, mislead upper management and are often confused. Who hired these people? Citrix HR... — read more 

Middle of the road. It's OK.

I'm a non-US employee and have been facing issue accessing fidelity since the deal closed. It says they are facing some issue. Is anybody else seeing the same?

Did everyone get an email from HR telling them to take all remaining PTO days by end of year? Hoping that wasn't just my team.. Also, I've been a remote employee and now live in a state without an office nearby. I know that they are reevaluating... — read more 

Why do yall people do them favors by quitting early I don't get it. Some of us want to leave on our terms and with our dignity intact. I don't want to wait out a severance that might not even happen in the end. I don't want to be out of a job while... — read more

It’s here, finally it’s done, the fat lady is singing, the chairs are on the table, the lights are turned off, closing time is here for the lucky 1000 few selected to be layedoff. And not a moment too soon…finally it’s over.

Citrix management is no longer in charge. It is the PE now. I don't think this is about dragging out anything. It is a new very brutal regime and the goal is to extract as much money as possible from the business. People need to be aware of this... — read more

The last few months have been especially unbearable to work here. But why? Because they intentionally put us under increasing pressure, they micromanage us more than ever - all with the aim of making us leave voluntarily. It's disgusting. Although... — read more 

Wow, they really must’ve had a team of solid negotiators on this deal. We buy a company for $2.4 billion and then the company we bought it from gets it back and then cancels our entitlements. What a joke!

I had accumulated some shares via RSU and ESPP that I had not sold. They are still sitting in Fidelity. Has Citrix shared what happens to these? Are they automatically sold and we get the cash, or do we need to sell them today?

Pretty sure that if I was still at Citrix, getting laid off right now would be 100x better than staying on board a sinking ship. All evidence shows that the environment there is completely toxic and morale is in the cr----r. Get laid off, collect... — read more
