The most valid rumors so far. If you have any other information please provide everyone here is nervous and desperate.
Most of the layoff will be ppl that had a review of 2014 where a session of the review is 2.0 or less. Even if the overall score is higher. (Some ppl had their reviews score lowered with no good reason, so that could be evidence of this point.) After... — read more

How did ByteMobile acquisition turn out?
Citrix acquired ByteMobile years ago. How did it turn out? At the time, ByteMobile junk was sold to Citrix for around 400M and Citrix took the bait.
