I am basing this on my fairly refined gut feeling (and some posts below)
Don't be scared
People are spreading lies on this site

There is too much buzz created about the layoffs. The rumors did attract attention of the people who make decisions. no doubt here. Unless they're completely blind and deaf. Now their silence and inaction are a bad sign. If you want your people to be... — read more

So who will go?
Who will be included in the 20%, maybe 30% that I've heard will be laid off. Tenure shouldn't equate to "keeping your job." There are hard working people at Citrix, that doesn't include many top level managers. Many managers wear a badge that reads... — read more
