More news yesterday on how banks are struggling to sell the debt issued for the Citrix transaction. The ominous comments around re-negotiating the debt terms with PE have been flashing bright. Lets see what happens next!

They are not incompetent as some might think. The thing here is that they don't care about Citrix and where it'll be in five to ten years. All they care about is how to make themselves as rich as possible as quickly as possible. That's what they've... — read more 

12 weeks until the big day. Don’t fool yourself into thinking that it won’t be a massive cut. All levels. You, your boss, and your boss’s boss. Be nice to your co-workers, because you’ll need each other in the aftermath. May the force be with you. — read more 

I understand those who want to be cut, but I would prefer to leave voluntarily at the moment that is best for me. I wonder how much real influence managers have on the decision whether someone will be cut or not?

We got a message from Dan Streetman, the TIBCO CEO, yesterday saying that he is leaving the company this week and he will join another Vista company. It is also mentioned that the transaction is expected to close by end of next month.

Have any of you worked for a company that was worse than Citrix in any way? I haven't. Every aspect of working here is by far the worst I've experienced in my 17-year-long career. From politics to a highly toxic work environment to management that... — read more

I want to get laid off, do y'all think that telling my manager that I am going to leave anyway if I am not cut in the next round will help? My thought is that my boss might prefer to help get me cut than be forced to cut someone else who might... — read more

Have things stalled or is it still happening?

Why?? This company keeps on trying to revive corpses to make VDI or (VDI in the Cloud) DaaS relevant again. Please stop its embarrassing.

It's funny and sad to see at the same time that Shitrix management and sales still think this dead horse can be sold and revived. They are massively dropping marketing bu-----t on social media and doing more usergroup events then ever. Hopefully... — read more 

Most of all, I am disappointed in what this company has turned into, because I think that everything could have been much different if only the leadership had made better decisions. When I started working here, Citrix had huge potential. Where do... — read more

Fortunately, Citrix is not the only show in town. Among the many reasons to leave a company, what do you think is the biggest reason why more and more people are leaving this place?

Alot of the PM and PMM team of Shitrix Secure Private Access (trying to keep VDI relevant) are switched too Lookout. Let's hope they don't fu-kup that product too.

We're still hiring and I see so many of the new additions excited and eager to help and burying themselves into a ho-e they'll never manage to dig themselves out of. Take it from somebody who's been here a while. Citrix is not the type of company to... — read more

There is no product manager, developer or support engineer left. Don't understand why customers would risk their business continuity with that legacy technology. Get a Shitrix exit plan as soon as possible and execute directly.

Does our leadership even have one, or do they only think of short-term goals (and of course, their personal interests)?
