IT a bloodbath
Getting hit hard this morning. My group has been decimated. Lots of old timers being let go.

Keep the useless
My Sr. director (IT) decided to keep only the useless people on my team. I hope he has fun with them, and will notice in a few weeks that actual work isn't getting done because they don't know how to do it.

When will Citrix cancel H1B after Layoff
Will Citrix cancel H1B and green card processing immediately after layoff or will they give some notice?
