Many teams in the UK remain in limbo. No-one has told us anything.

not ALL UK staff have been told, critically no one in engineering has been told yay or nay except for a few higher ups who were told weeks ago.

All UK staff have been informed about the cuts in the UK, whether they're leaving or staying, and the total number of UK employees leaving.

It's actually a very low number, a lot less than previous layoffs. Maybe we're cheap labour these days due to the £ crashing.

I think we can assume that most jobs outside of India will either be eliminated, or moved to India.

"Feels like there’s a lot more to come." -- I agree, employees in Europe should see their cuts coming soon. Some countries require employers to provide advance notice before they start to terminate local employees. Again, this process will take weeks to complete

Feels like there’s a lot more to come. On LinkedIn for every post announcing someone got impacted, there are 10 offering help by posting a link to their current companies careers site. I think yesterday was more VP level plus a few depts like marketing but nowhere near the 900

If you go to LinkedIn, search on Citrix, and click "all results", you'll see some posts by Citrites who got cut. It will give you some idea of what groups were hit.
