Do we get state unemployment with layoff package
I’m planning for the fall layoff and asking if anyone knows when we get state unemployment . With a layoff package can you get the state UI right away or is there a waiting period? Also if citrix gives a 3 month package do you get UI benefits after 3... — read more

Jobs going to China
It’s great visiting our @Citrix teams around the world. Thank you to everyone here in Nanjing for the warm welcome. -DH Consider more jobs going to China. Don’t duck with the CFO-CEO. He understands excel only.
Arrogant engineering leadership
Tons of examples but this is a good one. In 2009, Citrix publicly made fun of using UDP for ICA protocol: https://www.citrix.com/blogs/2009/11/12/how-many-protocols-does-it-take-to-deliver-a-great-user-experience/ One of the major design flaws in... — read more
No Citrix layoffs until fall
Heard there will be annual staff trimming and adjustments in the fall . Right now they are hoping attrition will take care of the numbers but there are many hanging on for a package so no one is volunteering to leave on their own. This sounds about... — read more

Citrix analytics
What a crock of sh--. The thing doesn’t work. It takes a day for it to tell you if something is out of whack of your citrix environment. This product was rushed and shipped to market a year early just so they could show something at synergy. The... — read more
Citrix s---s
I hate this company and this job. It’s run by a bunch of Florida idiot clowns that are pumping the stock price by faking data and telling Wall Street anything it wants to hear. The house of cards will crumble when the sec investigation starts Time to... — read more
Microsoft buying frame
Confirmed that Microsoft is buying San Mateo based fra.me software. They have also been having talks with workspot in Cupertino to buy them. Looks like the noose is circling the floridiots and they don’t realize it yet.
Citrix is in for a big competitive surprise
Amazon is about to announce a new End User Computing Service. Citrix won’t need to worry about renaming Xen. It’s name will be dead and gone soon.

Biggest blunder in the last 24 months
My vote goes to product renaming. Marketing idiots have nothing better to do. We spent a decade building a trustworthy "Netscaler" brand. Management diluted it by adding it in the same sink with crapware Xen and Workspace bundle. Your vote goes to?
Lawsuit strategy is a genius move
DH is a genius. He intends to buy companies but wants to pay them little money. Try to kill the small competitors that are clearly next-gen like Avi Networks and Workspot, and buy them when they come to the negotiation table All the trust shown in... — read more
