In my 35+ years of professional life I have never seen a new CEO generate a negative response even remotely like Krause. Everyone I know in Citrix put in tons of unpaid overtime in the last two years - we HAD to, to keep up with the workload generated by the whole US going to remote work, and us being one of the major providers of remote software capabilities.
For Krause to go up there and not only just sh*t on all the free hours Citrix got from its employees thanks to working from home, but go on and suggest that rather than providing free work to citrix, we were 'stealing' by moonlighting multiple jobs? I have never been so disrespected by any person at any level of management in any position I've ever held - let alone right after two years of working my a-s off above and beyond the hours I'm actually paid for.
The people who he insulted the worst were the really dedicated people who went above and beyond without any compensation, just because we wanted Citrix to succeed. Those are the employees he most needed to keep. And those will be the first to go kthxbye after this cr-p.
I have zero interest or incentive to work for any company that has this a**clown as its chief executive. And I know I'm far from alone.
Well said, @5exf+1jjNc8wV.
