Perhaps someone thinks it's a better option to stay here and wait for severance pay, but I'm really fed up with this place and I can't wait to leave. What I notice is that Citrix on the resume does not seem to help in the least in getting a new job!?

What’s hard?
I’m white so it’s hard right now.
Interviews really don't care about the ups and downs of a formerly decent sized public company. They care about what you did there, how well you did it, and what you know about their business. The fate of a former (or even current) employer is not an issue in the tech world.
You do what is best for you, keep your options open.
Agreed, prior experience at a company that has been portrayed in the tech press as a failed legacy software vendor is not helpful in our job search efforts. Regardless, I'm still focused on finding a new job in 2023 where my contributions will be appreciated.
Just the thought of experiencing "life after CSG" inspires me to keep searching.
Like the rest of us:
- Smile
- Say you’ll get right on it when asked to do something
- Don’t put excessive effort in your job. You’ll probably be gone this year.
- Network with friends, family, school buds, former co-workers. Dust off your resume and update it. NETWORK.
- Wait for that severance package. Once you receive it, pat yourself on the back for getting off the Titanic on one of the few remaining life boats.
- Remember to tell people to avoid this company in any capacity possible.
