Thread regarding Citrix Systems Inc. layoffs

We need a union to protect Citrix employees

For every dot-com millionaire, there are most likely a thousand IT employees that will never see an IPO. These are the workers that struggle as contractors and freelancers, often without benefits or job security. We are them.

What will it take for Citrix tech workers to unite and fight the egregious exploitation of the Citrix workforce. Citrix management has been forcing out older workers and replacing them with young inexperienced workers who are will to work for half the money. How is that legal? The only way we can be protected is to unite and unionize. Wake up Citrites!

What cr-p. nearly everything you've said is bullsh*t. Unions do not stifle innovation. They just provide a safe and fair environment in which it can happen.

Almost every German company has a workers council (similar to union) - they do pretty well as a nation of unionised labor and innovate just fine.... Look at the best engineered cars in the world.

You are right about the best Citrix being under Mark T. there was a plan then. I saw nothing of the sort when the SAP Mafia took over..... Never saw an effective business strategy in all the time there has been an "EVP Business Strategy".

Sc--w unions. Union workers want to work as little as possible and get paid as much as possible. Innovation is impossible in a unionized company. Technology doesn't automatically get better. Regular working hours is for the weak or those without the drive to really become great. In fact, people that are great at something enjoy doing it for most of their time. It's what they live for.

Imagine the greatest innovators of our time only working 10 hours a day (2 more than people actually want to work kicking and screaming). If the majority of people at Citrix think unions are needed, we deserve to fail, go bankrupt and be deleted from the corporate world. Citrix was a great company to work for. If I make it through the layoff rounds I will keep working even harder than I have to help bring Citrix back to the company it once was. Even if it doesn't happen, it's worth trying.

The Citrix under Mark Templeton was the best Citrix we ever had, and it would be great to have it again. Stop whining and enjoy what you do. If you can't do that, get out of the way from those that can.
