Yes, TK and his gang, and the PE crew are a bunch of heartless a$$hol3s who care about nothing but making sure they can maximize their payout when they decide to offload the company.
But that said… You can’t blame them for any of this. They are simply the symptom, the consequences of years of gross mismanagement and incompetence from previous so called leadership and their "yes men". Look at why Citrix ended up being acquired by PE. That’s what and who is to blame. Those who pushed the “cloud only” agenda; those who thought the intelligent workspace was a great idea; those who decided to acquire Wrike; all the people who have been sandbagging because they got too comfortable and think producing mediocre output is ok because they’ve been there a long time; all the unqualified managers and decision makers…
Many good, solid people have been caught as collateral damage over the last 2 years, but there was also A LOT of fat that needed to be trimmed.
To those who are still there, good luck to you!
