Hi all, as many of you, 10+ years Citrite waiting to see what happens. While we find a lot of interesting posts and information here, we also need to evaluate who might be the real poster. Could be people spreading fud, could be competitors, could... —  read more 

TK said base salaries will be adjusted to market. Who decides what "market" is? And if your current salary is above "market", I suppose you can expect a cut.

Anyone has any experience with invested RSUs and layoffs? What about our awards from April, granted as a results of our performance in 2021? Any chance to get this money?

I have a friend in commercial real estate in Raleigh. He believes Citrix is considering closing offices here. Does anyone know if Fl or SC is up for lease?

I’m a Citrite of 10+ years. I am getting cut in a couple weeks. I already know… 100%. I’ve been interviewing over the past month, so I’m heading out the door as prepared for this moment as much as I possibly can be. My feelings? The unfiltered truth... —  read more 

There was a comment comparing the downfall of Citrix to Enron. Looking up Enron’s history this is a fair comparison. Citrix no longer has a moral path…anything goes. Truth, respect, courage, curiosity and innovation are no longer valued. These have... —  read more 

Love how the CEO made technology decisions... garbage technology decisions. Leave tech decisions about which software we should be using to people who understand tech. I can't wait for this to turn out just like Wrike and Slack - with a huge... —  read more

When they just share an org chart and you are not on it. No communication, no respect

Typically it's a month's salary for each year of employment so curious to know what was offered.

What are some tips to avoid paying heavy tax on the stock buy back?

There are so many options outside of Citrix, great companies with great futures and still embracing remote work. I know how strong the connection can feel to Citrix when you have worked there for years, but trust me, it is liberating to break free. ... —  read more

The leadership thinks that if layoffs are managed in this way, gradually getting rid of small numbers of people, it will avoid viral backlash and negative reporting in the media. But I think they are mistaken. Why? Because it is not conducting... —  read more 

I honestly don't think this ELT has any interest in Citrix being a great place to work. $16.5 Billion is a lot of paper. What do you think their priority is? It certainly isn't making you happy. It is driving you into the ground until we have... —  read more 

If a new CS college graduate asked you a question about a potential career, would you recommend work in the field of virtualization?

Seems like a lot of sales reps will be gone.

If you get cut, consider yourself lucky!

In 1970 the average manufacturing worker made the equivalent of $42 per hour with an excellent benefits package. By 1990, US manufacturers moved operations off shore to reduce labor cost, taxes, overhead, and environmental regulations. Investors made... —  read more 

In his email TK said all executive leaders will have their own all hands meetings. Has anyone received an invite? Per TK during these meetings we will find out if our position is staying or being eliminated.

There are many employees who were hired remotely pre-pandemic and have worked at Citrix successfully. And, there are employees that were given permission by their senior leaders to move and officially work remotely. Exactly! Some people will be... —  read more 

Do people who are advocating for RTO not have families? Or do you simply don't like them all that much? I can't figure out any other reason why you would prefer to lose a minimum of an hour - or two and more for some of us - commuting each day rather... —  read more

I know that lately there’s been a lot of negative comments about RTO. But I was wondering is anyone excited to return to the office? I personally missed interacting with my fellow peers!

For those that are still there, I’d try your damndest to find a new job and focus 100% on fulfilling the new job and put 10% on maintaining a Citrix paycheck. Double dip the heck out of them, build your rainy day fund and you’ll be forever grateful... —  read more 

The RTO is a strategy they are using to force people to quit and avoid paying severence. This strategy was also used by Tesla, Yahoo and others.

That is another study on productivity. This whole RTO ploy is to cause attrition. For all the bluster about data mr CEO could have just googled for these innumerable studies proving it time and again remote is better !

As this article outlines and is a systematic study done by McKinsey whose consultants these companies hire, IT can work remotely with 0 productivity loss for the most part. This whole nonsense about being data driven is horse manure at best ! T... —  read more
