Citrix has said a reorganization is coming since the change of leadership in July. This is not NEW news. But it is real and it’s because they do have a brick and mortar business that is transforming to cloud and they need to shed the old to make room for the new. It hasn’t been the old Citrix in a long time. There’s still a bit of that spirit left but now it’s coupled with newer stuff. People here still want to do a good job. They still care when a release is crap. They still want to make sure customers get value. If you’re outside of the company or if you prefer to blame others for the failure of your career here then I can see why you’d be angry. Believe me I have seen people come and go and most of them (not all) but most deserved it. Citrix is very very very conservative about letting people go. If you get let go in a layoff it was probably wayyyyy past your bedtime. I come into this job every day because it’s still a challenge solving problems and making it all work and Citrix takes care of good hard workers and thinkers. If I get laid off this week I know it’s because I stopped being useful not because the leadership s---s. It’s all on me. I know this because I’ve been in the position where I had to let people go and I know how many of the choices are made and in some cases it’s heart breaking but in most... these people extended their welcome and were taking advantage of a very very generous company. #notacitrixexec #beenherelongenoughtosee5layoffs
