Thread regarding Citrix Systems Inc. layoffs

Several Departments Impacted

Today, many skilled professionals in the US were affected by layoffs, a deeply challenging experience, especially given the current state of the tech sector. The ongoing shift from domestic talent to significantly lower-cost offshore labor has had a detrimental impact on the quality of work across the industry. This decline is largely driven by private equity strategies and aggressive cost-cutting measures from mid-to-large enterprises.

Affected roles include:

  • TAMs (though not all transitioned to ATS)
  • TAM Managers
  • Escalation Engineers (NetScaler and CVAD)
  • Incident Response teams (US and EMEA)
  • * ATS / aka former SE (stuck around final commission)
  • * Sales Managers
  • * Red Account
  • * Marketing (at least until the next public event, with bonuses reportedly withheld)
    Dublin Support counterparts

It remains unclear whether options for re-badging under HCL or other arrangements have been offered.

This is Tech today ladies and gentlemen - the SH-T is ugly but we have to weather the storm. I hope this turns around sooner than later.
