Do we lose the LTIs that are supposed to vest on March 1st? Unclear in severance package.
I've intensified my job search
Nothing like layoffs to light a fire under my feet. I've been casually searching for something else for a while, but the latest round has turned my casual search into something that's taken over my every free moment. I won't rest until I know I'm... — read more
Greener pastures
After many years at the company. I finally got my exit papers. It was a sweet moment as I can hold my head up high and say I survived this mess of a company during the PE days. Now On to bigger and better things.
You have no future here
How many times do you have to be hit over the head to get the message? Do whatever you can to get out. This "company", if you can call it that, is doomed by design. The equity people want to strip it down to the bones and steal as much money as they... — read more
Useless coworker still here
Yet one of the best on our team gone. Make it make sense, please.
Was this another attack on older employees?
I don’t know anyone personally who was laid off in this round, but I’m curious about the age distribution of those affected. Historically, it tends to lean heavily toward older employees, as Citrix has repeatedly demonstrated a clear bias against... — read more
Emails received?
Has anyone let go received their email yet regarding compensation, severance, etc?
Anyone have a count?
Curious if anyone left has some genius way of knowing how many did CSG cut globally?
How many CVAD Escalation Engineers impacted in US?
There was 5 CVAD EMEA Escalation Escalation Engineers impacted. 3 in Dublin and 2 in Bangalore who work EMEA hours
A single media mention
I've been trying to find coverage on the latest layoff, but all I can find is a single article (see below). It’s shocking how layoffs have become so normal in today’s society that they barely warrant proper media coverage anymore. Or maybe it’s not... — read more
Citrix Parent Cloud Software Group Confirms Layoffs
Cloud Software Group–whose companies include Citrix, Tibco, NetScaler and XenServer–has confirmed to CRN that the vendor conducted layoffs worldwide, with LinkedIn posts from former workers revealing cuts of engineers, technical account managers and... — read more
Unpopular opinion
Yes, TK and his gang, and the PE crew are a bunch of heartless a$$hol3s who care about nothing but making sure they can maximize their payout when they decide to offload the company. But that said… You can’t blame them for any of this. They are... — read more
So sorry, guys, for everyone affected
I know that for some, being laid off has been something they were wishing for. For many, it's a blow. We live in a challenging time, and it’s not easy to find another job. I hope that all of you land on your feet soon, and find a job that will not... — read more
My family member just got laid off- Citrix
My family member and a group of other employees had a call at noon with HR at Citrix. No more work as of today, 21st official layoff date. Call was 5 minutes long -they basically said it was due to restructuring, no one’s fault. To be followed up... — read more
Cowards
Cowards won't even take questions. Shows how little they care about the people they impact.
Several Departments Impacted
Today, many skilled professionals in the US were affected by layoffs, a deeply challenging experience, especially given the current state of the tech sector. The ongoing shift from domestic talent to significantly lower-cost offshore labor has had a... — read more
Minor Event?
It's early days but the impact seems pretty low so far.
Severance, RSUs and Bonus ?
I knew this was coming, so not that surprised, US employee here. Questions: Severance - is it going to be 1:2 ? Stocks - are they going to vest all the stocks ? Bonus - are we going to get the bonus which we were supposed to get next... — read more
Got my HR invite. US Senior Engineer. (Netscaler/Citrix)
The email mentioned restructuring of departments. I was asked to provide private contact information for future communication. This time the Jan 7 rumors were true!
Have all the invitations been sent out already?
I see many people already got their invites, does that mean they were all sent out already and if we didn't get anything we're safe tomorrow?
Meeting invite arrived
Tomorrow is the day. I got the email. US based employee here.
Some people never learn
I’ve seen it happen more than once. People trying to be nice by giving two weeks’ notice (or, in one case, a full month) when they quit, only to be asked to leave on the spot. When will people realize they don’t owe this place anything? You should... — read more
If it kicks off tomorrow
I hope I’m among the first to go. I want my severance and be gone. I can’t stand this place anymore.
Is this board all trolls? None of the dates given for the layoff have been correct.
Scroll through the posts on here. There are a myriad of past dates given for the layoff. None of them true. This is like some cult that predicts the date for the end of the world and then when it doesn't happen picks a new date. Rinse, repeat. All... — read more
Just received an invitation form HR
Is this the long January layoff. I hope they picked me Fu sh-trix
calendar invitation today?
What is this about?
Is Jan 3rd a thing or not?
Anyone got any news?
Waiting on Severance or New Job
Citrix lifers or those with 10yr+ tenures, are you banking on layoff or actively seeking new job opportunities? Different folks have a difference in opinions.
Jan 3rd is a go
It’s all confirmed Jan 3rd is a massive layoff. Pack your bags as it will affect a lot of people across ALL departments . Fu-k the VPs for going along with the misery. They need their bonuses more that you need you paycheck. Fu--ing VPs
January layoffs
Is this for sure? First rounds are going out Jan 3, another 15 - 20%. Source: @zaf+1wcVj0fa

Any news from the crazy December?

Veiled attrition
How is it OK for them to lie to us, to any of you sad su-kers with RSUs, to everyone like this? It's obvious they had zero interest in restoring the offices long term. Within a year time TK went from saying that RTO will save us all to shutting down... — read more
Sad to watch…
It truly is sad to watch a once-relevant company become a shell of itself. Those who were front and center of the take private discussions knew what was going to come, and come it did. One day this will make a great HBR case study on how corporate... — read more
Nepotism???
First the concern was folks collecting 2 paychecks. ...Which caused mandatory "Back To Office". Then "Nevermind!", allowing most of us to WFH (unload real estate) Now the fear is Nepotism???
Project Moondance is in full swing
