Thousands of Citrix employees handed over pink slips
By MYBRANDBOOK
Desktop virtualisation company Citrix Systems has started widespread layoffs, with thousands of employees being handed over pink slips. The layoffs reportedly affected Citrix’s commercial sales organisation as well as some channel-facing employees. Sales, channel sales engineers and education sales roles were also said to be cut.
Several laid off employees shared their desolation on LinkedIn, including a networking, application delivery and security specialist for Florida and Georgia commercial field sales; a senior sales engineering manager who’d worked with Citrix; a software engineer; and an enterprise application delivery and security specialist, among others.
Mark Simmons, lead NetScaler sales engineer at Citrix, wrote: “Like so many others at Citrix, I was caught up in today’s massive restructuring. I have been associated with Citrix for the past 22 years, either as a full-time sales engineer or contract master instructor. I wouldn’t trade those experiences for anything. Now I’m looking forward to the next chapter in my career.”
The layoffs come as CSG moves to focus directly on its top 1,000 enterprise accounts, leaving mid-tier and commercial accounts to be supported and serviced by solution providers. It was said, “This [strategic shift] could be a really good thing for the channel. With Citrix focusing on the top 1,000 accounts, that leaves the channel with the opportunity to service the remaining accounts. This could provide some explosive growth for Citrix service providers.”
