Elliot's back, not good news
Elliot wields a sharp ax! Look out, they will want to get that employee count back down to 7500 like they did in 2017.
Elliot is back?
Hearing that Elliot is back and demanding increasing valuation and stakeholders returns, again. Is it true or rather a gimmick to improve the stock price that has taken a beating over the last few quarters? If Elliot news is true, it brings back... — read more

What will this company be like after the big layoffs around the corner?
At this point I don’t know if it would be worse to get laid off or survive this big layoff too? The luckiest are those who have left, that for sure. I hope that I will be able to leave before they start cutting because being a survivor here means... — read more
I don't think they need layoffs
Judging by this board and the people I know, all they need is to ask for volunteers. Plenty will be happy to jump at the opportunity to get paid to walk away from this place. That way everybody would be happy - those who want to leave and those who... — read more

Writing on the wall - 'Winter is coming'
Fellow co-workers, start applying outside if you have not already. There is a high probability of massive layoffs in the next 6 months. Only if the board decides to remove DavidH, it may give a bit of time but that will not happen right away. I see... — read more

Is HR spamming your LinkedIn profile?
Hi Is it only me that has HR spamming my LinkedIn profile, time over time over time? It is almost like they want to know if I am open for a new role. Why would Citrix look at my profile on a weekly basis otherwise? Should I take that as a hint that... — read more

Why hire just to fire?
I've seen several people so far - all young folks - hired and then fired (or laid off or whatever) within a few months of joining the company. Why would we do that? They were not bad workers, they were just still in the learning/adjusting phase. I... — read more

I guess everybody can get a job here these days
We recently got a new team member after two people quit about a month ago. First of all, it took the company a full month to get one replacement for two people. Second of all, that person wouldn't know how to pour pi-s out of a boot if the... — read more

Why was there no pandemic bo-m?
It may be sound ugly, but the pandemic was a kind of an opportunity for Citrix to make a bigger bo-m. However, this did not happen, because the top dogs do not have much vision, so they failed to take advantage of that momentum. It is a... — read more
Stuck in the past
The core business is almost completely neglected and this company is becoming desperately stuck in the past. When I talk to colleagues who work in some competing companies, it happens there too, but the problem is nowhere as big as here. I just don’t... — read more

The long-term danger of short-term goals?
The problem is Citrix is legacy technology, but management trying to extract every last penny out of customers and even staff by moving goalposts and financial engineering. What they don’t realize is that the world has moved on from this type of... — read more

Stock is collapsing Down $15 as of now and keeps falling

How to earn promotion is still a mystery to me
During all this time I’ve been at Citrix, I’ve realized that I can’t understand the logic in this company at all, starting with promotions. I couldn't believe when I heard who was being promoted. I’m not envious, but it’s really weird how and why... — read more
