Of the dozens of companies we've acquired, we've screwed most up (Bytemobile, Sanbolic, Octoblu, AppDNA,Cloud, Virtual Computer etc) because no acquisition had a sound and reasonable plan on how to take these ventures and develop them into profit... — read more 

Do you think they will target (for layoffs) ALL people who work remotely?

how did Citrix payout the accruals in the previous layoffs. is it payed out day for day or something else.

It's incredibly quiet around me - it certainly feels like a big one is coming for all of us at Citrix. The execs and VPs cannot be found, if you have an email thread with them, you noticed that they are not responding. Not sue why, it almost feels... — read more 

When I was affected, they sent a meeting notice for a required meeting in a conference room the next morning. There were 6 - 7 other people there at the same time. Some exec read the script and an HR person was there as witness, I guess, and to... — read more

It is real. Hundreds of small empty boxes have been delivered to Citrix offices.

It’s looking like this could be the largest layoff in Citrix history. Elliott need the share price to rise to complete their investment and the share price hasn’t been moving for months. They are looking to make some significant cuts. I think... — read more

When I joined the company many years ago Citrix was family. Execs and VPs really cared about the company and the people working here. Over the last two years the VPs have been replaced with hired mercenaries that don't care and don't have any empathy... — read more 

Citrix used to be a great company to work for, but all that changed several years ago as market and industry realities, along with years of poor executive decision making, hit all at once. Citrix made a few good acquisitions, but more importantly... — read more 

I love working at Citrix. I'm pretty sure most of the employees (past/present) do too. Having worked for several large corporations, I've never seen so many freaked out - stressed out - on the edge group of people. This is not just limited to the... — read more 

Heard from a good source that 24% of global workforce (including contractors) would be laid-off. It is going to affect all geographies and all the departments. Thoughts?

hearing 2 weeks per year, up to 10 weeks only.

Anyone know about locations? Satellite offices? Departments? Specific teams?

The same thing is happening here at LogMeIn.

Layoffs are coming on 10/4 and a second one in Mid December. Rooms have been booked in the Santa Clara offices for HR actions on 10/4. The 10/4 seems to be a smaller event but the mid December seems to be a MOAL (mother of all layoffs). This is very... — read more

Repost: A friend in IT just told me their rewards program has been put on hold. This was abused last time during layoffs by people recommending others for large rewards once they had been given the push.

Everyone is doomed!

Layoffs are definitely coming. The question is the same, "who will it be this time around." Will it be the "bottom performers?" Will it be "last in, first out?" Will it be someone from the "legacy good old boy/girls club?" Who? If anyone knows how... — read more
