“At this time the company decision is that we are currently unable to rehire any employees that were impacted by the RIF. This could change in the future as we continue to review policy. If so, we will most certainly reach back out.”
Former manager and adjacent manager gave good feedback to HR. Hiring manager was going to make an offer and at the last minute this came through.
Looks like it is all hiring now with no WFR planned - I might be wrong or missing pockets of layoffs happening silently.
It must be out of GPS, but I really like the program where we hire people with mental disabilities to clean the kitchens throughout campus. I genuinely think it's nice even though it's not always convenient.
But I don't think we've taken this program far enough. I think as a way of turning around the company we should replace the majority of VPs and Senior directors across the company with people from this program.
Now some of you may argue that people with severe mental disabilities aren't going to be able to operate in high functioning positions like Nike vice presidents and senior directors do. But at this point I'm willing to take that bet.

The market loves our moves and is confident on our hiring plans and return to growth
Are there any companies out there that are worth a damn and hiring? Doesn't have to be a bank or FI, just somewhere that those of us who are Grade 12 and up might be able to take our talent, while also being paid well, given solid benefits, treated with dignity, and not put through months of radio silence or fruitless interviews?
Trust and believe, I am doing my best to hold out for the inevitable layoff and severance, but in the meantime, may as well ask.
This company has already almost cost me my life once and I'm rapidly approaching complete hopelessness. There has GOT to be something better out there, right?
...Right?
Walmart has approx 2300-2400 H1B employees. That’s thousands of US workers that could have a job, but don’t, because Walmart would rather bring in cheap, foreign labor.
When did CVS start using HireVue for prescreening?
For anyone lucky enough not to know, it’s where you record yourself answering interview questions while an AI quietly judges you. Essentially a corporate Tinder.
This is a director level posting, not a role getting hundreds of entry-level applicants. I’ve been here over 20 years, and I only apply to things I actually care about—not panic-clicking “apply” at midnight. My skills were a great match for the role. I’m also not eager to risk awkwardness with my current manager just to get rejected because I didn’t maintain “optimal eye contact with my webcam.” Its a lateral move so I really need a two-way conversation with HR first to assess compatibility.
I was told it’s mandatory, so I withdrew.
Am I overreacting? Is this just the times? I get it AI is everything now but I feel certain circumstances should not be using this route to weed out candidates. Id love to hear from those who think this is a great idea because I must be missing something and some day I may very well HAVE to use it..
Layoffs in Q1, hiring spree in Q2. Classic.
• “They didn’t eliminate the work. They just eliminated the people.”
• “New hires = lower salaries. That’s the real math here.”
Does anyone have any idea when the next round will be, June or July 2026?
Please don't assume we're back just because we're hiring. If you've followed the trend over the last few years, OpenText has often hired and then later laid off employees to backfill positions. The current hiring activity alone doesn't necessarily indicate sustained growth.
So how is it working for the robotics team? I see they are trying to staff up? I'm a electromechanical engineer....place for me there?
Mobility build de-emphasized in capital allocation.
Fiber build emphasized in capital allocation.
So, where are all the REQs for wireline positions to manage the fiber build? There ain’t sh-t on workday.
There were plenty of rumors, has anything been confirmed?
Heard today that Schwab is going to discontinue hiring in the US and all backfills and future roles will go to GCC. Has anyone else heard this?
Fidelity Investments announced job cuts at its Covington, Kentucky campus. A larger reorganization eliminated approximately 800 jobs globally. The firm will reinvest in technology and recruit early-career engineers. This restructuring follows a financially successful 2025 for the company. The Covington campus expects net growth, but with different job types.

Up another 5% today - the market understands that we are hiring and have returned to growth
American Express employed 76,800 people globally as of December 31, 2025. This included approximately 29,500 workers in the US and 50,900 internationally. The company added 1,700 employees in 2025, a 2.3% increase. American Express did not announce major company-wide layoffs in 2024, 2025, or early 2026. The company focused hiring on growth areas like technology and operations.

Talked to a few hiring managers on Friday and they all echoed the same thing , the last few weeks were the toughest they’ve ever had to maneuver. Every open position was flooded with applications . multiple leaders recommending and putting referees for their own people , non stop calls and emails for referrals all against a deadline to hire before the end of May. Managers were grinding through 8 to 10 interviews a day, trying to balance candidate situations like urgent visa situations and ongoing medical treatments. So people who found internal roles during this time was due to strongest leadership push rather than the best skills. glad May is wrapped up so everyone can take a breath and move on. I am sure there is better way to do this ..
Many companies rushed to replace employees with AI, but the reality is that advanced AI tools like Claude and others can become expensive at scale and still require human oversight. It wouldn't be surprising if organizations start correcting course and increase hiring again. The best results often come from AI assisting employees, not completely replacing them. The next few years may see many companies finding a better balance between technology and human talent.
I interviewed and was hired on the spot. No experience!
I don’t understand how Cigna is hiring for customer service agents when a mass layoff was just done, along with possible upcoming layoffs with IFP/Evicore? Like why not move over the agents who are at risk of losing their job to the customer service department the company is hiring for? What’s the point in hiring others when you have internal people with experience? Why are we hiring anyways with current layoffs? I don’t understand the moves this company is making. Nothing makes sense anymore.
Been hearing rumors that h1b sponsorship is dead in cvs now. Does this apply to all roles? Or IT excluded?
50% of new hires are from that country, American new grads cannot find a job, fk.

Now we’re back to the usual agenda of outsourcing whenever possible!
“The Patient Care Systems hub will develop cloud-based platforms and clinical software to support connected care for patients with implanted cardiac devices, according to a Thursday statement from economic development agency IDA Ireland. The investment will add 85 jobs initially. New roles at the site will include leadership, software engineering and systems reliability positions.”
We are hiring and have returned to growth
To those posting positively about hiring and growth at OpenText on the threads here.
Please do a reality check on how things actually are here and across the industry. If you haven’t done your own research, ask around. Plenty of people will give you an honest picture.
If you know the reality and choose to ignore it, at least don’t mislead others. Stop posting overly optimistic takes about job openings or “returning to growth” when most people here see it differently.
From the recent all-hands and CEO town hall, many of us felt the leadership lacked ownership and accountability. Questions were deflected to the ELT, and there was no clear stand on strategy, growth, or revenue only focus on personal incentives.
The concern is real: without change, OpenText risks hurting both its financials and its people.
If you disagree, back it up with facts. Otherwise, it’s time to face reality.
We are hiring for our return to growth
We need lots of people fod our new customers
Recently went through what turned out to be a fairly extensive hiring process with Walmart Global Tech. It started with an HR prescreen call, followed by a HackerRank technical interview with a Principal Engineer, and then I was flown to Bentonville for a full day in-person final round consisting of three separate sessions — coding on whiteboard, system design, and behavioral.
At the end of the in-person interview I was told that none of the three interviewers were the actual hiring manager. Instead my scores and evaluation have been uploaded to a talent pool system where multiple hiring managers can review my profile and reach out for intro calls if interested. I was told to expect contact within a week or two.
Has anyone at Walmart Global Tech been through this process — either as a candidate or as a hiring manager?
Specifically curious about:
I am in a location that is not one of the "big 3" and have been turned down for job after job after job after job bc I cannot relocate and "must be in one of the listed locations"...
THE SUPPLY CHAIN SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT IS LOCATED IN LONDON, ENGLAND BUT I CANNOT BE IN A DIFFERENT US BASED LOCATION.

Everyone is watching the layoffs but only some are paying attention to the real issue -hiring has slowed dramatically...
The headlines make it sound like AI is eliminating jobs overnight. The actual labor data tells a more tricky story. Layoffs are still relatively close to pre-pandemic norms. What has changed is that companies are hiring less aggressively, which makes it much harder for people entering the market, changing jobs, or recovering from layoffs.
There is also a growing amount of what even industry leaders are calling “AI washing” - companies attributing cuts to AI when the underlying causes may include overhiring, cost pressure, restructuring, or shareholder expectations.
That does not mean AI is not changing work. It clearly is. But the broader employment picture right now looks more like a low-hire, low-fire environment than a mass AI replacement event.
The practical takeaway for companies and employees is probably this: focus less on the headline layoffs and more on adaptability, skill alignment, and where actual hiring demand still exists.

In *** Bratislava. This company is a joke and hates the American people.
"This position is hybrid, and you may be expected to go into Bratislava office 2+ days per week."
Rakuten Viber increased its headcount by 30% in 2025. This contrasts with many tech companies that implemented efficiency layoffs. The messaging app company reached nearly 600 employees globally. Viber prioritizes employee well-being and stability.

The New York Fed reports AI is not the main cause of the current hiring slowdown. Elevated interest rates and past overhiring play a major role. The Fed's analysis shows broad labor weakness, not automation, explains the trend. Most firms adopting AI are retraining workers, not initiating layoffs. Startups should focus on capital costs and macroeconomic pressures over AI fears.

Several U.S. states are experiencing increased unemployment. This trend occurs despite national economic resilience. Layoffs, slower hiring, and economic uncertainty contribute to the issue. Technology, manufacturing, and tourism sectors are particularly affected. California, New York, and Florida are among the impacted states.
