Enough said. I hate this stinking hellhole and Friday is my last day. Emancipation finally And F-c all the incompetent management. I hope you all get fired by Elliot real soon.
People would like to be laid off?
That says it all about the company. No one takes rumors about layoffs anymore as something that raises the level of anxiety, but everyone fantasizes about relief when they are no longer part of this company.
Who is the new CPO, has he done anything useful or another DH crony
Never heard of this guy, has he added any value to Sh-trix or just another management leech?
What would help stop the mass exodus here?
It seems they cannot stop the mass exodus anymore. I wouldn't stay even if they drastically increased my pay.
Are they worried at all?
I sometimes wonder if our leadership is concerned what effects will have attrition and all the layoffs under the radar, as well as the departure of people who will not want to take the vaccine? If I was the one deciding about the future of a ... — read more
Florida county is fined for requiring employees to be vaccinated
Does this apply to us? https://www.npr.org/2021/10/14/1045904204/florida-county-is-fined-for-requiring-employees-to-be-vaccinated
Missing motivation
I can't motivate myself anymore to work hard. I used to give it my all but with all the changes and uncertainties and resulting stress, I've lost that drive. Just getting myself to do anything beyond the bare minimum is a chore. I'm not sure how to... — read more
Citrix changing to Cutrix
Not 100% but news is that major layoff is being planned and may happen as early as Nov/Dec. The cut will be of the magnitude of ~15% with most of the hit in the US (~1 out of 4 jobs). Nothing surprising here, but this time the information is from a... — read more
People abandoning Sh-trix
My LI is full of postings at Sh-trix, must be because so many people have abruptly left. The boot licking , managers are constantly posting for people to staff the sudden resignations, but nobody is taking the bait. What a mess of incompetent... — read more
Mandatory vaccination or exemption coming
Email from Tony and Donna just confirmed mandatory vaccines for ALL uS employees coming because Citrix is a federal contractor. Facing termination if you don't get the jab or a religious or medical exemption. I have a feeling the current annual... — read more
Fear of new beginnings?
For me, Citrix is already the sixth company I've worked for. I didn't intend to stay here for more than a year either, but suddenly I started to have a huge aversion to new beginnings because when I summarize all the experiences, none of the... — read more
Have there been any layoffs since August?
I've heard there might have been some cuts in September/October but I can't get any info on where/how many from anybody. The last cuts I know of that happened for sure were in August. Has there been anything since then or are people stressing over an... — read more
I don't get you people
Why is everyone so scared of layoffs? I seem to be the only one on my team who's not petrified of the possibility of losing my job and I haven't been here for that long, so there's no severance for me as a safety net. It's just a job. If you're laid... — read more

What do we all think of our new Chief People officer.. do we really think he will be able to save Citrix?
Tips for staying safe at work
I’m not one of those who can’t wait to get laid off. I’d rather keep the job as long as possible, until I find something much better. Maybe there are some tips for staying safe at work?? I know that some will immediately want to say that no job is... — read more
Do the bare minimum
I'm not even joking, just do your bare minimum. Anything beyond will only put you in the "let's make sure to keep him/her in that position because they're making me look good" box. Here it's all about working smart and not about working hard. The... — read more
Attrition has never been this bad
What's happening, people? Why are so many leaving?
Don't burn your bridges
I see a lot of people who are getting new jobs ready to walk away without notice or even worse, by telling off their managers. I implore you, don't do this. You never know what's going to happen in the future and if you'll find yourself in a... — read more
Next round of layoffs
Will it happen before the end of the year or are we safe for the next few months?
“Everything is OK”
The message from the top is, “No big deal — we made a few minor mistakes, mostly to the Street, and with some small adjustments we’ll be fine.” This is actually the load of garbage they’re handing out to the rank and file. Soon they’ll be handing out... — read more
Citrix has drained my energy
Literally! After giving notice I realized that this is the company that exhausted me the most, and I stayed here the shortest of all my previous jobs! Citrix generally no longer has any creative or innovative energy. This company will just continue... — read more
Stock drops faster than a rock.
The CTXS stock is dropping faster than a rock with DH leaving abruptly. Is this going to be the moment of reckoning for Elliott to lose all the gains they made earlier ? Maybe their karma is coming back to bite them with them taking this company... — read more
Are you staying or going?
This is a legitimate question for you citrites.
Why do they keep the hard workers anonymous?
Many managers keep the hard workers anonymous while they take credit for their work in their 1 to 1s. Management is substandard, leadership is substandard, both from people mgmt point of view and technology point of view - impossible to learn... — read more
Leaked: Citrix CEO Change formula

They spoke about focus and gave no idea how they are going to do that... Always nice words and no follow through.
Look who was right
For those that came to this forum to say stop with the rumors looks like you were the ones wrong. DH out proves Citrix is collapsing. Layoffs are for sure next! No one should stay at Citrix.
When are the incompetent SVPs/VPs/Directors getting axed?
DH is out, ~30 more to go. I hope the entire incompetent leaders are shown the door in next 1 month. Thats the only way to save the company.
DH is out!!
Well, DH sent an email that he is out now. Guess Elliot pushed him out. I got a feeling something big is coming and its not going to be good for us.
How do you try to keep a job here?
Lately, I’ve also started hearing some rumors again about layoffs that I hope won’t come true. Citrix is not a company where cuts are as common as in some other companies, but still, one should always be prepared because no one’s job is ever safe... — read more
Is Citrix preparing??
I don't like layoffs rumors, as all it does it make people afraid of losing their jobs and causes productivity to go down.. In my 10+ years at Citrix, I have heard many rumors, have seen shady deals, and also seen the way layoffs start in... — read more
Citrix is sinking
I envy those who are able to leave. I'm stuck here for personal reasons and watching this place sink further and further every day has not been a good experience. But it is what it is. It helps to know I'm not in this alone and others are also... — read more
You are not trapped here
I see so many posts from unhappy people who seem miserable working here, but for some reason, they make a choice to stay day in, day out. Why? Nobody is forcing you to stay here. Do yourself a favor and walk away. The job market has never been... — read more
A Citrix story
Citrix is in a ho-e it may not get out of. It has a set of products that didn’t keep pace and continue to lose relevance. The pace of industry change over the last ~5 yrs. caught leadership off-guard, coupled with a very different Microsoft no longer... — read more
When did culture at Citrix change so much?
What happened here? This was a decent place to work and now it has the most toxic culture I've experienced in my career, and I've worked at more than a few companies in my nearly three decades of work experience. I hope things will start to improve... — read more
Can anything be improved here without radical changes?
People are usually worried when someone intends to buy the company they work for. Citrix is the only company where even some of my colleagues think it would be better for the company to be bought. This means that people here do not see the... — read more
Citrix - A management lesson for schools.
The current state of Citrix can become a leadership lesson - "How to ruin a great company and fast?". We are such a disaster now that unless there is a good level of cleanup at leadership level, I don't see anything else but a continued downward... — read more
I'm not staying for what's to come
I've been on the fence about leaving for a few months and this week I finally made my decision: it's time to leave. I won't badmouth the company. Yes, things have changed but I've spent too many good years here to not appreciate what I once had. No... — read more
