I was just invited to a meeting tomorrow at 9:30 AM. I sent them an invitation for 8:00 AM.

Does anyone have any update on xenmobile cloud team? Heard XM as a whole is getting impacted pretty big.

Any idea about unvested shares during layoff? Do they vest immediately? Or they just go away from the account? Is the compensation model same across all geographies?

I heard the Sharefile teams were getting hit hard. Does anyone here have any information on which product lines or groups are being affected? It’s been quiet.

Feel free to expand, we have a ton of material on this rumor.

How many employees does Citrix have as of today 10/3/2017? I am trying to figure out what does 10% mean.

UK engineering spend too much time to ensure they do it "right". They also don't make a big enough song and dance (visibility). Bangalore Engineering aim for a date and deliver whatever vaguely meets the requirements. Even if the code is incorrect... — read more 

Some people getting that same invite but from other managers (not even their own). Surprised there was not an announcement. Is the plan to lay off all these people and then act like nothing happened? smh

Any updates for Bedford. I am assuming you have a call tomorrow too?

Me!!!!!!

Think it impacts severance at all? Interested to hear your thoughts - yes , YOU!

I was just informed by an SVP that sales, marketing, engineering, vendor capital management and IT will take the hit. 10% of our workforce. Backfills from India and temp staffing.

Reading all these posts the good, bad and mostly sad, it's hard not to be in a state of anxiety and fear for what may be coming. I hope one of the benefits in the lay off package is life long "THERAPY." This is so stressful. Employees who get laid... — read more 

Both 100% incompetent and lazy geos in the company, waste of resources

I heard sales is going to be hit hard because they have a huge team that simply builds a TON (like $45 million in a week) of bogus pipeline and rejoices if they close 15% of it. There is a ton of redundancy ie ...one customer will have someone who... — read more 

Do we know this right now? Who's affected? Who will be hit the most. Anyone know about what locations are affected? How about our Satellite offices? What Departments and teams are targeted? I know I am asking for a lot but right now I have no clue... — read more 

OK, I am obviously visually challenged but here it goes anyway... There is an "ACTIVE" button right above the first thread - you can use it to see what posts had recent replies. That's all from me - I've been sporadically visiting this site since the... — read more 

We don't know how bad this is going to be, but I have a feeling it won't be pretty. Just wanted to wish everyone luck whatever happens. If you are unlucky, then I hope you land a new gig soon. If you're lucky, breathe a sigh of relief and carry on... — read more 

We may as well start a thread on 2018 layoffs at Citrix. Post your predictions.

There will be a meeting tomorrow Wed Oct/4 at 10 a.m. for UK Engineering. It's an all hands meeting. That'll be 5 a.m. EDT or 8 a.m. PDT. I will cover it live from my phone on this site, stay tuned for updates. I'd expect them to follow a similar... — read more

People already being told. Meeting invites starting to be sent as well. Here we go, friends.

Anyone hoping they offer voluntary terms? Or any idea if they will? Have they in the past? So many questions....

How do you deal with stress? I am thinking that anyone working for Citrix has to be stressed out - we have a constant threat of layoffs ... I think all of this affecting my health. Ever since 2015 cuts I've had trouble sleeping, my blood pressure is... — read more 

It's a job. Your reward is your paycheck. If you think the company is sh--, go elsewhere. No one is holding a gun to your head. Other companies do layoffs too. Not just here. Citrix is a lot better then most of the other options in FTL. Seriously... — read more 

Is this for real? I mean if we'll cut a few hundred people why do we still have 200 positions open and advertised? Is Citrix ETL gone mad? Why is this happening??? https://www.glassdoor.com/Jobs/Citrix-Jobs-E5432.htm

Totally my gut feeling only - no insider info: We'll be trimmed down, sold off, and moved to the West Coast. Better polish up the resumes now!

Former Citrite here. I ha sorry to hear about the upcoming cuts - I hope it'll not be as big as some here expect... I've been in similar situations, so I say this with pain in the hopes it helps you (for whatever it is worth): Let go of the illusion... — read more 

I remember when they announced that performance bonuses were changing to annual, and I thought to myself, "I bet they did this to minimize payout in case they do layoffs before EOY." Welp, here it is. First year after changing to annual, you can all... — read more 

There will definitely be employee actions on Wednesday 10/4 in the form of layoffs. This layoff event is being held so tightly that even the directors don't know what is going on. VPs are making the employee decisions on who stays and who goes so... — read more 

Do you know how COBRA coverage works if laid off? 8 years with the company, FTL. Thank you in advance...

Ed I. and his original crew of engineers built something unique and so easy to sell. The hubris was thick in those days. We all thought it was our efforts that made this successful. We had a part, but it was the product and the timing primarily, I... — read more 

Citrix is always a market follower, never a market leader. That means if the market goes up 2% then Citrix will go up by no more then 0.5% . The market went up by 0.56% but Citrix is up well over 4.0% so this is very unusual. Citrix is not a market... — read more 

Anybody else dreading tomorrow? By now we all know there is a big announcement coming from Citrix, and its nearly certain it will be about layoffs. I am feeling nauseated just thinking about it. At least we will finally know what is going on, get rid... — read more 

I’m confident there will be no layoffs and all the talk on here is rumours and bs

You know a company is in big trouble when engineers start leaving without lining a replacement job first. Look around you...

Yes, there will be layoffs. I am certain it will be at the earliest tomorrow and as late as a few weeks - but not excluding the possibility of it being a few months. But if not a few months, for sure in next year or so. Teams being impacted will most... — read more
