Thread regarding Citrix Systems Inc. layoffs

For the old time Citrites

For those of you who worked at Citrix during it's heyday, watching it crumble to pieces is tough. I don't think anyone could imagine what has transpired over the past 5 or so years.

Layoff after layoff, the CEO-merry-go-round, active investors, tough working environment, and that is just the tip of the iceberg. At one time, Citrix was THE place to work in South Florida.

So, to raise the spirits of those who were a part of that climb to the top and helped make Citrix a true leader in the tech sector (gotta love the upper right corner of magic quadrant) I share with you a cinematic masterpiece that will make you laugh, cry, and cringe, all at the same time.

There is no rating low enough for this film so Rotten Tomatoes just gave it a "what the f-ck is this" rating. The Razzies refused to include it in their award ceremonies saying this film made them realize they actually had standards. James Franco declined to be in the film saying it could really hurt his career, even more than getting cancelled for his horrible behavior.

So, without further delay, I present to you this piece of, honestly, not sure what to call it. You decide.

Just like the good old days…filmed on company time instead of actually working, incorrectly uses really large words that are meant to impress but do the exact opposite and, of course, filmed in total self-absorption and egocentric bliss.
Siskel and Ebert - if they were still alive - would give it 2 middle f-ngers!

That's right - almost everyone in that video was fired from datacore promptly after RiP's departure

Who cares? Rizwan has been gone from Citrix for over 5 years. Go discuss this on the Datacore board.

Very genuine. That cringe some comments mention was very natural and actually endearing if you knew those folks. Imagine them as kids playing games and everything will make sense

Can’t unsee it. Just can’t.

Can’t sleep. Nightmares. Daymares too!

My therapist is going to make a fortune getting me through this not so minor setback.

ThanQ Riz. More like F-ckQ. TM that!

What in the actual f? I dare anyone to watch beyond 2 mins. Double dare.
Whoever’s idea this was, should’ve been nipped in the bud. To spare us all the agony.
