Thread regarding Open Text Corp. layoffs

Hold my beer …

… is what the chairman of the board likely said when it was assumed that Mark B. brought OpenText to the lowest depths possible. Jenkins is doing a great job of flirting with stock prices in the teens, which he will soon reach, and destroying what little morale was left.

I was let go today after receiving a great review and a hefty merit increase. I worked hard and produced great results. And as the case with many others before me and today, Mr. Jenkins and his ilk said sc--w you. Meanwhile, the two-legged snakes, family members and ever-shrinking legion of sycophants blissfully flop around in the increasingly pot of boiling water.

This ship has already hit the iceberg and is sinking at a faster rate than it was during the disastrous regime of Mark B.

The 3-book series on AI will not save this company, nor will the line-up of summits in Canada will not save this company. It is too late for that.

To all you good people still stuck on this garbage scow, find a life-raft now. Because if you thought marketing campaigns featuring scary muppets, goats and bland superheroes were bad, the upcoming Canada-is-a-trusted-player-in-AI campaign will “elevate” your opinion of those disasters.

Opentext is like a totaled car beyond repair.

@OP Jenkins just does what you tell it. Not unlike unlike what Tom Jenkins does for the board. One is a tool, the other is a Tool. Both serve the same function.

@a3 as a former CA and SGI employee, I can say anything is better than a culture built by Mark B. OpenText will soon be in the tech company grave yard.

@a1, it’s personal to me.

The excuse that “it’s not personal”and/or “it’s just business” doesn’t justify the poor treatment of people, mismanagement of a company and who knows what else of which they are guilty.

At the end of this chapter, I will transition to a better place. And at the end of the day, cr-ppy leadership is still cr-ppy leadership.

You're angry. You're emotional. It's understandable.

It isn't personal, it's business. Close this loop in your mind and see yourself at the next corporation you sell your time to.

Good luck!
