Okay so did they delayer at all? Or was it just more buzzwords to try convince the investors that Citrix is actually doing something and has a vision? Over in Services, I mean "Sales" and Services it used to be like three hops to from an employee to... — read more 

Citrix SaaS is not hitting it's numbers so they are placing good people on performance improvement plans to dodge severance costs and to make the environment toxic. Any thoughts?

What do you think, how likely is that we'll be acquired within next 36 months? Very likely? Possible? I think Citrix is running out of options and it's increasingly harder to fight the fight alone. Thoughts?

Closing additional offices is just a stealth way of getting rid of more people and trying to dodge severance costs. Basically, close an office and tell people they can move to different office to keep there job and watch how many don't and quit on... — read more 

It's been a few days since layoffs, what do you think now?

How many recruiters got let go in FTL? I'm assuming there is a hiring freeze now?

I know that for many of us is nearly impossible to leave Ft. Lauderdale, but just so you know. Amazon always do a couple of recruitment drives a year in South Florida. They just grab talent off that are tired of the slim picks of the local tech... — read more 

I know it's been a difficult time for our colleagues in Citrix but at least Citrix waited 6 years between each layoff period (correct me if I'm wrong but the previous one was on 2009 and now 2015) I've been working for Cisco for more than 15 years... — read more 

Can ANYONE explain how that is possible... even in a company as shockingly shortsighted as Citrix, this beggars belief.

Can someone explain the process. I am here FTL, it's fairly simple here, the employment is at will and both parties can divorce at any point in time. The law mandates that layoffs at a single location that go over certain headcount treshold (e.g. 50... — read more

Re-posting this really good post, it's not mine but I think it's worth a bump: The problem here is that South Florida have very slim pickings. I'm not trying to throw cold water to anyone, but these are the things that people need to be aware of... — read more

The silence is frustrating here in Western Europe, all countries have strict laws and people will not be notified before several weeks. Do you know how many TRMs have been hit in other Europe regions? what kind of profiles (S5? S6? S7? experienced?)

I was there when the layoffs happened in 2009. Lady Luck was smiling brightly at me then but this time she gave me the cold shoulder. I got canned yesterday. I heard that there was a mass layoff around 2003. Is it true? Does anyone know? If it is... — read more

Rumors are that it's done in the U.S. and they are focusing on other regions today. I'm just wondering if there are any confirmed cuts today.

This latest layoff is another example of Citrix non-discriminatory selection where past performance means nothing and being in the right place (India or North Carolina) means everything. Who in their right mind of us left would give even a quarter of... — read more

The Netscaler group had relatively few layoffs. A rough estimate is about 10-20. Some were in customer support, some in testing, and a few in development. At least a couple of those laid off were managers.

I haven't seen any updates from India? Are you guys affected? How's the mood over there?

Can someone summarize what happened in 2009? I joined in 2011 and did not go through that round. I am still around but still very anxious.

My condolences to all of those who got cut during this purge :( For those of us left being, how many of you plan on leaving SOON on your own terms?! I know I am... Just say "+1" if you're thinking what I'm thinking... P.S. I hear Rizwan is still... — read more
