Thread regarding Citrix Systems Inc. layoffs

Look for a job while you still have a job

You have a paycheck now, but who will hire you when you are terminated? Anyone who thinks that staying and waiting at CSG is sensible must be delusional. It's a bad situation.
Update your CV and make a plan to leave on your own terms. Don't be afraid to change. Don't let them just cast you aside when they're done with you. Have some self-respect. : OP @iuw+1kbEIcQM

Everyone who is still wasting their time here should think about this question before it's too late.

I’ve worked for and hired for many companies throughout my career. No one will care. There won’t be a stain on your record.

I think there's a point to this perspective. It's often overlooked, and that's the belief that those of us that stay to the very end of the upcoming layoffs will struggle to defend our professional reputation. Truly, that concerns me. We're not being terminated by a market leader, we've been fired by what some posters here call a 'dumpster fire'.

Other tech employees can point to their prior employer's excellent track record of success at VMware or Microsoft, as an example. But we're all part of a strange combination of legacy software BUs with no future. I think that's the key point to remember. Each of us may be talented and skilled, but now we're associated with this weird Frankenstein company that the PE bankers (in hindsight) consider a mistake.

Who are you people who post this stuff and why do you give a sh-t what anyone else does? Weirdos.

What makes you think that someone who stays has no self-respect? That's ridiculous. Stop being such a pompous amateur psychologist. And getting laid off is not a scarlet letter. It's happened to countless people in tech. No hiring manager is going to look down on it.
