Anyone know if there are layoffs coming ?
The IPO gamble I'm trying to decide on
I've got an offer from a startup. The role is a step up, more senior title, and more interesting work, but my total compensation would drop by about forty five percent compared to where I am now. The difference is equity. If they IPO in the next few... — read more
Heads Up, Return to Office or else
Several long time employees were FIRED last week for not returning to the office despite manager approval. Fired, no severance, gone after high performance and decades of service. Nothing descent matters to these people.

Hiring - returning to growth
This is confirmed, the tide has been turned We are hiring and returning to growth The turnaround has been completed, to be confirmed at earnings next week
The Future
The future of renewals relies on the stickiness of enterprise software. The gamble is that customers will tolerate bot-only support and sting renewal price hikes because the cost of migrating away is too high. The company is moving to a No Human... — read more
Can someone confirm what's coming in the summer
Are there layoffs coming ? If so what groups are going to impacted and what geo's and when ?
Worst team you’ve worked with
For me, it's the procurement team. A $1000 payment can go over 6 months without any update. And they always direct me to another team A, and team a pointed me to team B and C. And finally it’s all of these 3 teams. Then they told me the payment is... — read more

The ugly side of waiting
I've been through several layoff cycles now and every time, as soon as first rumors hit, the office turns into a competition. People stop sharing, managers get cagey, friends watch each other sideways...you get the picture. It's exhausting. My... — read more
Remember when layoffs were not omnipresent?
Can we go back to those times? I'll even take a round here and there, but this constant threat of more cuts is absolutely exhausting.
Is anyone going to buy ADM?
It's not a secret the OT is bleeding and drying out the divisions and there going to be another major layoff soon. I'm hearing a lot of rumors about OT going to sell ADM bu heard SAP and others but is there any credibility to those rumors? is anyone... — read more
Will layoffs be across the board?
People have been mentioning every single org that comes to their mind. Does anyone know something specific?
May not June ? Lists being prepared
Its being said that next round is going to be in May itself rather than June
What's happening in June / July
It's confirmed there are layoffs but what %? The 15-20% numbers include people being divested but what actual numbers for layoffs ?
Attention coffee badgers
Just a heads up to any coffee badgers - MS Teams is reporting your location activity and it is being actively monitored by HR. If you are coffee badging, you will be caught and once enough data is available for a "for cause termination", you will be... — read more
It’s Cheaper to Fire Us Than to Lay Us Off
I got fired for coffee badging. And I know I'm not alone. Cheaper to fire us than lay us off. Not even any sort of reprimand or PIP. They just went straight to "You're fired!"
Stock falling again
Down 5% today. Looks like the bounce is over
Morale is at an all time low
It feels like we've hit rock bottom.
Ratting out bad apples
I've been at this company for ages, and I've worked with all kinds of different teams. Even besides the top C-suite folks, there are some total deadweight employees that really should get fired or transferred to another department — especially the... — read more
LinkedIn is exhausting
I had to reactivate my account because recruiters kept asking for it, but the constant posts about nights out, people partying with coworkers, and random personal photos feel so unprofessional. Does anyone actually use this platform to help others... — read more
Thoughts on CEO All Hands
What is everyone's thoughts on today's Town Hall?
Watch your back
Can confirm that company is actively monitoring office attendance and employees who are not complying with what is now policy will be terminated. Also, outside of sales-coded roles, there will be NO hiring for virtual employees. Waterloo is the... — read more
What Open Text did to me
I came here excited about the work. I was full of ideas and wanting to make things better. Open Text took all of that from me. They don't cultivate innovation. They don't even pretend to. Any new idea gets met with bureaucracy, indifference, or... — read more
Compressed performance reviews?
Anyone able to shed some light on the “compressed” performance review cycle announced this past week? The pessimist in me wonders if it’s just to accelerate the next round of layoffs, but I’d love to know more.
The crackdown has begun!
Got flagged for occasional coffee badging. They must be monitoring the cameras. Any others?
Only sales in June / july
Only sales to get impacted and in very small numbers
ADM update anyone?
How long until ADM is sold off? Is there a definite buyer? Will the potential sale include employees or are they likely to get laid off before the sale?
Are managers getting targeted for this next layoff?
I heard sales people will be targeted as per previous treads but will managers from different departments will be too?
Right? Why no voluntary redundancy?
Nobody's exactly clinging to this place. A voluntary package would have takers, lots of them.
June or July
Some people say June, others July Which is it ?
Random layoffs still ongoing
Are random layoffs still ongoing? I’ve noticed a few people randomly disappearing this last week.
Generational entry on OpenText stock
Full port in.
Non-core sell off?
Does anyone know which non-core BU will sold next? Any confirmed buyers or rumors anyone is hearing? My area has been totally silent about it...
many are quitting - let alone the layoffs!
looks like OT should offer a voluntary redundancy round - they'd get a few more takers for sure! Maybe write a book on it. Canada/US market is open for business. closed to opentext - see ya #Energizing Life Every Day!
The layoff logic I don't understand
I've seen several rounds of cuts now. And I still don't get how they pick who goes. Because time after time, the ones who get cut are the people who carried the team. The ones who went above and beyond, who stayed late, who kept things running. The... — read more
