There have been strong discussions that people managers, at every level and in all locations, should lead by example by being office-based.
If you are a virtual people manager at any level, anywhere in the world, you should expect your team to be managed by an office-based leader. What that means for you, I'm sure you can guess.
OpenText is hospice for software projects, where only enough money is spent to keep them alive until they die. The problem is now that we stopped acquiring companies there are no new hospice patients just death.
@ac I've watched products be abandoned without reason a few time to know this is not only possible, but probable.
@ac these are likely the products that will be sold this year
I’ll believe they’ll enforce the RTO policy when I see Prentiss Donohue back in the office. Till then business as usual.
Layoff.com comes through again. RTO announcement is out. Looks like its targeting US and Canada so far.
@a2 you saw this where in today's announcement?
@a2 impossible, entire products would no longer have people working on them
@a2 not true. Where does it say that.
Could this be a “layoff” without severance and unemployment payments (US)?
I can guarantee that RTO policy won't increase OpenText's productivity, creativity, or revenue at all. High levels, however, typically ignore this presumption.
And virtual team members over 50km will have to relocate or else leave the company by Jan 2027
