As others have said, “I’m doing this for your own good” is insanely patronizing. As someone who currently basically works all hours to support teams in multiple time zones, I will be LESS productive if I am having to put in a commute, and end my day at 5:30 pm. A VDI company with a circa 1998 RTO policy is laughable.

He showed his @**. Sounded to me like little Tommy Boy has wanted to be a big boy CEO for quite some time now, and today he displayed why his peers didn’t feel like he was ready for the role. Just a first class jerk.
Additionally— nobody in these threads mentioned the fact that chairs were set up on stage for his leadership team, complete w/ bottles of water, prob with the intention of making a united front, involving them in the discussion, Q&A, etc … and then Tommy Boy just blew hot air for 90 mins and shut them out. That’s some Executive maturity right there. We got it Tom, you have a teeny little c**k and your ki-k is a heaping dose of masochism. Prob a ball gag daddy.
More patronizing than Blan Stack's, "This security breach was everyone's fault" speech a few years back?
Clearly, you don't understand the Krause mindset, or what motivates him to do what he has explained at GEM. Remember, rewards drive behavior. He's not being rewarded to make you happy, but to extract cash from the business ASAP in the best way he knows how.
RTO is about employee surveillance, finding out who is working hard out of fear and at the lowest cost (salary + benefits). He's a been-counter, and you're a line item on a spreadsheet, nothing more.
But “Work from anywhere is just a marketing slogan”
Completely agree. Not only that, but Citrix BU leaders HAVE to recognize that it literally flies in the face of 30 years of promoting "we power work from anywhere" and the more recent pandemic/post-pandemic "we power and enable the future of work". The implied "...*but we are mandating the majority of our employees to return to an in-office culture because productivity and collaboration...." is not going unnoticed by customers and partners.
