They said they it’s a Citrix thing. They are getting rid of Citrix too, which is fine as it’s a pain in the ass, but moving to full PCs for remote workers tha don’t need them is a ridiculous waste of time and money, especially now. It’s just going to make things worse because supporting that won’t scale as cleanly.
And why this migration? It’s not like Citrix was a bad idea on the first place. It actually solves some real problems for us.

Pretty sure it’s more of a redirected folder thing with Windows, but Windows has been pretty wonky recently about redirected folders and profiles.
