From reading about the Citrix financial situation, it seems that some part, at least, of the current need to improve margins is related to the Wrike acquisition. 2.25B for a product that - the ELT have now admitted - doesn't fit into the product... — read more 

We've had no calls scheduled and we've heard nothing about cuts in our team yet. Does that mean we're safe? Or will they be doing this over the following few days?

Only hearing about individual contributors in engineering. Anyone from management let go?? Name the names.

Calderoni's email specifically said 11am Eastern. I'm in the SF Bay Area and I have a call with HR at 11am Pacific. Any other West Coasters here? Did you get an 8am Pacific invite, or are you on tenterhooks waiting for 11?

I haven't received an email yet. Can someone forward it to me??

Has anyone heard anything about Education, Consulting and Customer Success? Are they getting hit?

Was inside sales in Ft. Lauderdale or field sales in the US hit?

Curious to hear about what areas are hit? The email called out some specific stacks.

Per the email. We’re all supposed to know by 11est. Good luck to all!

Next few weeks and months, brace for “We had a little bump, but everything is fine” communication Tsunami. All org leaders are going to reinforce this message it via email, messages, team meetings and 1:1s. The strategy is to buy some more time as... — read more 

Any thoughts on who will buy Citrix?

It seems history repeats itself every 4 years or so with this company. Mass hiring, following by mass layoffs and constant purchases of products that die out quickly because they make no sense to the portfolio. How many layers of middle management do... — read more 

I think the anticipation is ten times worse than knowing layoffs are going to happen on a certain date. Just constantly stressing over it and wondering if today is the day when we learn right then and there something is happening is taking its toll... — read more 

If I'm still at Citrix a year from now, I'm going to consider that a personal failure.

[inherited and adapted from another thread, just to bring smiles during this hard time] Rumor is that ‘LayOff v2122’’ is an XXL sized initiative. The initiative will be broken down across all ARTs, and is expected to be fully completed over next 2... — read more 

Everyone talks about toxic environment, but the only thing that really suits me at Citrix are the people I work with. I don’t feel that toxic environment. Incompetence of the managers yes, but the toxicity of the environment no. Moreover, the only... — read more 

There is no support level for the Sh-trix stock. Sub $60 is a real possibility.

Of all the acquisitions this company has made, I don’t know how it’s possible that almost none, or none at all, turned out to be a good move. I’ve seen someone mention it here, so I wonder what are the main reasons for such poor decisions? — read more 

I think it will not be next week. The obvious product areas not doing well and low performing employees in all areas may see some impact if at all, but it’s not a one time cut. Over the next 6 months, a more diligent consolidation and restricting is... — read more 

Somebody mentioned this in one of the threads and I believe it bears repeating. There's nothing you can do about layoffs. They are going to do what they want to do whenever they want to do it. Only focusing on that is a waste of your energy. What you... — read more 

Do you think there may be small/medium/large Citrix Systems layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

I appreciate that other people might have landed on their feet but everybody's situation is unique. Being laid off would be devastating for me. I'm not close enough to retirement for that to be an option but I'm already at an age where I'm passed... — read more 

It’s coming and it’s going to be massive. No one - not even the bootlickers - will not be spared. Happy Holidays.

Citrix was very good to me in the last layoff, and I might say that getting laid-off was the best thing to happen to me in a long time. Don't be afraid of the layoff. Sometimes it helps to get pushed out, especially if you know the inevitable will... — read more 

I am unfortunately not one of those who would like to be on the layoff list and I hope I will not be be the target. I prefer to go on my own at the moment that suits me best. I wonder if anyone knows who the target groups will be this time?

In the last 2 weeks people are taking control over their own destiny and choosing to leave Citrix. So many people are leaving or have left.

Does anyone know what type of severance package one gets from being later off at Citrix? It may not be a bad thing if one gets nice chunk of change.

That’s at the time you have left, get your heads out of the sand and depart with dignity.

With no bottom in sight. Looks like the only way to save incompetent management bonuses are with huge layoffs. As always the worker employees get shafted.

it's very similar to the 2017 layoff ...Not a good way to end the year!

At this point I do wonder how many of us would take a voluntary layoff. I certainly would.

Broke 90 pre market. We will be testing 80 this week. Was holding RSUs with the hope that Q3 might be better.

It’s actually coming.
