Charlie Sheen refs, hedging questions, and the word focus... a lot. Then the same info as usual. Citrix is a superstar that's just a little off track. Got it. For the bimbos in the audience, they loved it. Anyone who has a brain watched the most boring puppet show ever assembled. We were only missing the strings dangling from the ceiling and Jesse Cohn coming out for a bow at the end. Nice work boys.

Magic number 40.. Henshall was in the driving seat when that number dipped so badly..
Now he says something cliched like "you'll see the number trending up north of 30-35 on a go forward basis"...Don't trust the guy anymore.
Burley is like a mushroom. He's being kept in the dark and smeared with bullshit by visibility hungry engineering leaders who have mastered the art of covering up problems through routine number fudging. Feel sorry for the guy I actually like him...
All hail SupportGuy. Yes... Bill "the bat" Burley? Notorious skull cracker. The kind of guy that uses company "culture" statements as TP. Jan 2016 could be messy.
"Looking forward", "looking forward", "looking forward" .... am I the only one that thinks that Henshall is out of his depth. Mark's pet has lost his owner.
this was all predictable the moment that VP/GM guy from Symantec quit after only 11 months. i bet he saw what a mess citrix is; it's no coincidence that he was the only one of the higher ups around here that actually spoke intelligently...
It looks like the strategy is to make it as uncomfortable and risky for those left in the hope they jump to save on pay offs in Jan and beyond. The tone was not as all reassuring and inappropriate, it must have been by design. The joking with the FTL folks and the we all live here quips from Bill Burley et al... sent a very strong message to those in other locations and no doubt that Bill Burley is running the show with Geir Ramlath, the one exec with any experience of running a successful large company out of the door, to see the re-throning of the Bill Burley+college fraternity brat-pack back in FTL, the same team that led us to this mess in the first place, with a few token new faces in HR and Marketing. Quite envy the new head of HR, they certainly aren't redundant at the moment!
