Thread regarding Citrix Systems Inc. layoffs

You CAN make it with severance

I feel for all of you. I've been caught in a layoff before. What I found is that life does go on and you can survive this. With severance and/or unemployment, you can make it, but you have to cut your budget to "needs" only- food, home, water, electricity, ...don't eat out, defer student loans for a while, talk to your creditor and explain the situation. When things got better, I had learned that I could live without "wants" like cable and didn't add it back once I had a new job and salary. You will be alright. It will just be uncomfortable for a while. Best wishes!

Thanks, @PAc8JDz-fvr , this is a really good advice. Wish you the best.

I know in 2015 if you asked if you were that close they would round up give you the extra.

I am three weeks away from my 7 year anniversary at the company. I was denied the extra two weeks of pay since it has been technically still 6. That is pretty BS.
