I need to do something or else I'll have a full-blown mental breakdown. I want to take stress leave but I'm not sure if that's even possible. Has anybody taken stress leave before? Do I need to go to a doctor to qualify? I don't care if it's unpaid... — read more

Job search has changed so much

CEO approval rating in Glassdoor
CEO approval rating in Glassdoor is 49%. Why I ask? Bob is simply trying to fix the old mistakes done by incompetent leaders. Why is he getting all the bad ratings? Its also confirmed that there wont be any other layoff till March 22. Why are people... — read more
I can't wait for the next meeting
That, of course, is sarcasm. If someone asked me what is the thing that drains my energy the most at Citrix - that would definitely be the unnecessary meetings. Why so many meetings? Meetings just for the sake of meetings, in 90 percent of cases. I... — read more

Toxic Country Manager
It is a pity that it is difficult to know the emotional intelligence of the person to be hired. I have worked at Citrix for several years and our Country Manager is the most toxic person I have ever worked with. He is a person who offends and... — read more

Stop the gushing on LinkedIn
Oh no, now the pathetic former Sh-trix employees are posting these long gushing goodbyes on LinkedIn. They are posting bu-----t goodbyes like “what a special place to learn” or “ I was part of the special team at Sh-trix” or “everything I am is... — read more
Why is returning to the office more important than the benefits of remote work?
vaccine opinions aside, let's discuss how Citrix's core value prop is enabling remote work, yet they're making employees go back to the office. I actually think this could bode well for them. If anything's going to attract top talent these days... — read more
Citrix is about to experience rude awakening
It matters who you lay off. In the long run, it matters a lot. When they made decisions based on pay instead of performance, they rid the company of some of its best people. The lack of their contributions can already be felt and it will only become... — read more
It could always be worse, I guess

Pondering next moved (PART 1)

It boggles the mind, but some people still love working here
I work with a guy who is petrified of being affected by layoffs because - as he puts it - this is the best job he's ever had and he would hate to lose it. He's a decent guy with good education, so it's not as if this is the only thing he could get... — read more
Wrong people in managers role
Unfortunately, it seems to me that this is not an exception but a rule in this company - managerial positions are filled with mostly completely wrong people. Why is that so? Instead of inspiring, encouraging everyone's individual growth, they... — read more
Anyone else at Citrix NOT getting vaxxed?
I work at Citrix Fort Lauderdale and have no plans of getting the vaccine. I am afraid to ask HR any questions, so I was wondering.. should I put in my two weeks before the January 4th deadline? Otherwise, I assume once the new year comes, I’ll be... — read more
Marketing is a huge problem
Not only many marketing folks don't understand Citrix technology or have solid daily hands-on experiences, but they also promote vision as if it is already done and shipped. This creates enormous pressure on product and eng to deliver in a rush which... — read more
Does it make sense for employees to join securities lawsuits?
Many of us were duped by ELT that CTXS will go above $200 and didn't sell. How much of a payout from lawsuit can be expected? Asking because currently there is nothing in sight to indicate that company will at least partially compensate employees... — read more

It's a great job market for some people
If you're over 50, then it doesn't apply to you. Yes, open positions abound, but all I've been running into are walls. I've been worried about layoffs before I started looking for a new job but this has just pushed my anxiety to a whole new level... — read more
Root cause analysis
While talking to product peers, most indicate that our execution is bad. Engineering folks tend to think that the vision and strategy especially around Workspace is fragile. What according to you needs corrections - strategy or execution?
Do they care at all for Citrix's future?
I would like to ask our leadership if they are doing anything for the future of this company and its employees? Sometimes I think that employees, my colleagues, care more about this company than the leadership. It's really upsetting.
Too many people are quitting
I wouldn't quit right now even if I had a job lined up. I want my payout. If I'm going to leave, I want them to pay me to leave. I have no intention of making them look good by getting rid of me without paying me severance. Layoffs are coming. If... — read more
What is going on in the ELT?
That one person is leading IT, Engineering and marketing, in a time of crisis, without ever sharing their vision, tells you all you need to know about where Citrix is going. If you haven’t or are not in the process of jumping ship, then you are not... — read more

The company may go bankrupt?
Some are already mentioning bankruptcy. How certain is that this could happen? I don't believe it, but I didn't believe 2021 would be this bad at Citrix, and yet it's even worse than I could have imagined. I hope that doesn’t happen, but one... — read more
