Thread regarding Citrix Systems Inc. layoffs

Ex- TIBCO - How is happened

Just after the acquisition by Vista, 11% was laid-off. The initial target was 20%. but they did 11% so that the rest would leave on their own.

After that, layoffs happened every quarter. Now, they sold TIBCO's HQ and almost 30% of the US workforce is left. Almost everything is offshore.

PE firms come and reduce the headcount to improve profit margins. Also one more thing - Vista group of companies do an IQ and personailty test as soon as they take over a company. They said the test didn't have any say in the layoffs - but I am not so sure.

So be ready for layoffs. Start prep for interviews but don't leave without a package.

Sounds about right. Use this site and look at the Tibco comments to see how often layoffs occur there.

The next few months and years will be about maximizing profits, reducing duplicate roles and eliminating costs.

You won’t get a Citrix style layoff package under the new structure. You don’t have PRSUs that will pay out at 200%. Your benefits will change as stated next year for those who remain

It takes time to find a job that meets all of the criteria that you’re looking for. Start now so you don’t feel rushed or panicked
