You people who were laid off are really sad... So many posts on LinkedIn about how you were impacted by the events, blah blah.. Where is your dignity and composure? During a non-working leave period you are still technically employed by the company.
You are better off looking for work and telling prospective employers that you are still employed there -- if they ask.. When they ask why you want to leave, you tell them you are hearing rumors about more layoffs in Q1 and want to get ahead of any potential impacts and that there have been so many changes it no longer makes sense to work there, blah, blah.
Anyone who sees or knows that you are unemployed is either going to pass over your resume or is going to take advantage of your situation.
For the folks in FTL who were impacted.. Good luck finding a comparable salary in the FTL area given how much Citrix over paid people. Especially for you Managers, Sr Managers and Directors...
