With the recent reorganisations, layoffs, and an increasingly demanding workload, my motivation to attend this year’s SKO event is quite low. Also the late evening sessions and a gala dinner that runs late, makes it a long and exhausting day. Given... — read more
New reorganization is coming
Confirmed! New reorganization is coming in July with more layoffs. Sales is impacted now. Good luck.
Opentext Ireland
Fantastic to see Shannon in Ireland this week with the announcement around growth (despite hating who she was standing alongside) . One thing we are in Ireland is a mecca for IT, put simply if you do not have an Irish presence in Europe, globally... — read more
I keep going back and forth on this
One day I think we've got what it takes to climb back up. We've still got plenty of smart people and good products. But then I look at how far we've fallen and I wonder if we'll ever get that back. So I'm asking all of you. Do you think we'll find... — read more
Layoff dates
Anyone any idea when notifications will go out and who will they come from ?
Where did Marketing go?!
I'm in sales and our leads have dwindled down to NOTHING. How are we supposed to grow the company if we have nothing new coming in?
How's today looking?
Any cuts?
And it starts again - June layoffs
The layoffs have started again. A colleague from marketing was let go today. Highly visible guy on social media as well.
Feeling less valued over time
I’ve been here long enough to see how decisions get made, and it doesn’t feel great at all. A small circle seems to have most of the influence, while everyone else just waits to see what changes next. I know no company is perfect, but I’d like to be... — read more
Do reviews affect the upcoming layoffs
Do year end reviews have any bearing on the upcoming layoffs ? Do direct managers have any input ? Is it all cost related ?
fast-tracking performance reviews
Heard from the India team that Muhi Majzoub was in India last week. In a meeting with employees and presence of HR, he basically dropped hints that layoffs are coming down the pipeline soon. Sounds like salary hikes are definitely getting delayed... — read more
Shooting for the stars
Hundred of open position, lots of new customers, very high renewal rates We are a rocketship and the market is impressed
Novell Groupwise new growth
One of the most surprising things that when Opentext acquired MF it included Novell groupwise. It’s been a secret winner ! It sells more than enterprise cyber
FU-K OPENTEXT
FU-K OPENTEXT
The Market is Punishing us
why is our stock down? I must feed muh family.
The market is rewarding us
Stock up again today The market loves our moves and is confident on our hiring plans and return to growth
AI first until it costs too much money
We are told we are an AI first company. Now we are being told not to use it too much as it's costing too much money!
heading down a familiar path
I genuinely want to understand what's going on with CDO. She regularly brings sales people to speak at her town halls, the CEO directs AI roadmap questions to her instead of the product engineering leader, and right before the new CEO takes over she... — read more
Why did the stock tank today?
Something had to be leaked. Huge drop.
Cost of living adjustments labeled as "merit increases" that are really layoffs
As we go into the annual review process, HR is always quick to point out that the employee evaluations have no direct correlation to the amount that an employee might get as a "merit" increase. I have two issues with this: When increases come... — read more
You'd think that after all these cuts, we'd be left with its strongest performers
Sadly, that's far from what happened here. The people who knew how to play politics, who knew how to hide during the bad times, they're the ones who mostly survived. Most of the people who actually knew how to lead, who had real skills and real... — read more
June or July 2026????
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... — read more
June 4 Announcement
Is a sale being announced tomorrow
No paycheck is worth this kind of stress
The constant manipulation by management just wears you down until you don't even recognize yourself anymore. Trust me, it's not worth it.
Next non-core unit sold?
With rumors of an announcement this week, anyone have info? Which product line is getting released?
Just bought calls on OTEX
Finally we are recovering, i think this is a great long term hold with our pivot to AI Thank you to our fearless leaders
Stock Price down 50%
How do we get back to break even?
Stock price
Up another 5% today - the market understands that we are hiring and have returned to growth
Layoff list at 2550 and counting
May the odds be ever in your favor.
The big day..
Layoff is commencing July 2 for NA region (since July 1 is a holiday) EU and others will continue the week following. Have been told it’s anywhere from 8-15% of WF. Good luck to all
Hotline #
Anyone got it?
Layoffs cancelled until 2027
Another business unit is being sold next week, can confirm this amount is enough to keep 9% of the WF until next year instead of terminating this July.
Very important news to share
We are returning to hiring and growth.
Where's the accountability?
They always have an excuse on earnings calls. Covid, Presidential elections, war, gas prices, etc. When will analysts call their bluff? They’re so far off from paying off their debt. If they don’t do sell offs, they will continue to cut expenses... — read more
Who the fu-k designed Netiq ..
Never works. Horrid software.
Is there a plan here or are we making this up as we go?
I have been at Open Text for a while, and I still can't tell if leadership has any kind of long term strategy or if we are all just responding to whatever crisis popped up most recently. My previous employer had plenty of problems, but at least they... — read more
brain pivot
it is tough to work here, full stop. BUT i like my manager and peers, i'm happy to be here with them. i hope we win and i hope we can make it work. i see and feel the pain......but let me tell y'all about the company i came from. i hope the opentext... — read more
At least we have time to prepare for the next round
I know people hate the wait, but knowing something major is happening in July is much better than just coming into work one day and being served your walking papers.
We are hiring and returning to growth
The title says it all. It’s great to be an OTEXer and shareholder. Our customers should be pleased.
The morale is bleak with constant cuts
Do they not realize that happy workforce equals profits and unhappy one brings major drops in productivity? It's been proven again and again. What's their aim here? To keep making us more and more miserable until what? We quit? Is that what this is... — read more
