Thread regarding Open Text Corp. layoffs

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 ones that are in charge of all our core stuff. I already sent a long email to a handful of C-level execs and the new CEO calling out these bad apples. These je-ks are holding us back from building really good products.

@r7 AI can’t replace the human in the box, but it definitely can replace executives.

I agree. From my first line mamagers all of the way to the CEO. They're all useless!

Smooth move, ex-lax. C-Suite execs always appreciate wall of text emails complaining about others.

Golden rule dude, no one likes a tattle-tale, even if they are right.

@a4 Support teams though - stuck in the middle a lot.

Some departments have no excuse, but others do get track of who's helpful and who's a wallflower.

Is there a shared Google sheet? Not to my knowledge. But they're probably able to warn each other if someone well and truly su-ks.

@am maybe.

If you really want to reverse engineer layoffs though. Because it's rare to see someone get fired here. I've barely even heard of PIPs on my team.

If a 'poor performance' list becomes a 'add your name to be free' one - probably have takers.

@OP

If you have the time to monitor enough people closely enough to generate a "long list", sounds like you aren't spending enough time on your own work. Add your name to the bottom and send it out again.

@a1 enh, some people need to learn the hard way. Admire the sheer ba--s it takes, but despair the lack of the critical thinking it implies.

@OP Unfortunately, that is not the way corporations work. Which goes double for OT.
