I heard there were 200 culled from FTL and in Europe the TRMs took heavy hitting. Do you know the numbers who were let go from other regions? Were there any managers and directors ?

In India the number is around 90. I am one of them. Its very difficult situation here.
there are some vert talented people being laid off in the Uk. Pretty sure they will all find better jobs.
About 60 in the UK, but it feels like more! The SVP of Eng in the UK is going, and about 95% of Dev and Test managers' roles are "at risk", as are many Dev and Test roles. Suggests Citrix will only have a small presence in the UK in future. Sites are likely to be consolidated, esp Cambourne & Camb 101. This is very short-sighted and shows the bean-counters have been allowed to run amok: they know the cost of everything but the value of nothing. These talented engineers will take their skills and experience elsewhere (they need only cycle across the Cambridge Science Park) taking their IP with them.
13 cut from saas, departments include corporate communications, customer experience, facilities, finance and human resources
NA TRM here, all levels were affected here. It's my understanding they will go after VPs and Executives next week as well. I do not know how numbers break down overall.
