How can TH be a independent Citrix board member and also employed as a managing director for Vista ?

Asking TIBCO people what happened to any accrued PTO you had at acquisition? Did it get paid to you? Did you lose it as I hear TIBCO has "unlimited" PTO at manager discretion, I assume meaning no accrued PTO.

Just after the acquisition by Vista, 11% was laid-off. The initial target was 20%. but they did 11% so that the rest would leave on their own. After that, layoffs happened every quarter. Now, they sold TIBCO's HQ and almost 30% of the US workforce... — read more 

When can we expect the first wave? As soon as sometime this month or will it take a while for the whole buyout thing to settle down?

Our grossly incompetent non-management screwed us employees over again. Then they took PRSUs as rewards for ripping off the rank-n-file. Only at Sh-trix could this happen.

Some of my colleagues would rather stay and wait for severance pay, but I don't think that's a good idea. It is better to make an effort and find something now, than to start looking after cuts when many will start applying. I think it's easier to... — read more

I don’t like to worry ahead of time, but my personal opinion is that many positions will become redundant.
