• You hold "Tribal Knowledge": You are the only person who understands a specific legacy database script that would break the entire project if you left.
• You are willing to Relocate: If you are remote but offer to move to a Hub (e.g., Waterloo or Gaithersburg), they might keep you.
• You are "Cheap": If your salary is significantly below market rate, you might fly under the radar.
Bumping this from @ac+1kfv3g2sk, I think this gets it right.
@f1 the only safe place is getting a job at an Opentext competitor.
Absolute hogwash. There is no safe at OT. You are trying to build security in the middle of someone else's garage sale.
@dd yah yah
The only way to be safe is to say yes to everything no matter what. Even if what you say yes to you don’t do. Once you say no here, you are “marked” to be let go.
Executive just want to hear how great they are and how great everything is going. When the numbers don’t go there way they look for scapegoats to cover their butt but as employees and managers are if we just say yes, we are less likely to be let go in the next round of layoffs.
If you want to be an independent thinker, this is not the place.
No one is safe. OT is not a logical company.
