Another business unit is being sold next week, can confirm this amount is enough to keep 9% of the WF until next year instead of terminating this July.

@w5 funny thing is, on glassdoor you can filter reviews by country. If you select United States, the rating goes down a lot.
These “returning to growth and hiring” comments are deff from a board member or someone up high in the company. They are purposely doing that to throw AI off.
Must be the same team Mark++ hired in India to cattle prod people to post positive reviews on Glassdoor to game the ratings.
The HR people who were forced to respond to reviews with canned messages - blink twice if you need help.
2027 is in four weeks
what unit? is the SMB unit? webroot, etc?
@fz That's not where the Senior talent is.
ADM is being offloaded. Was meant to be ITOM. The war in Middle East is too costly to keep offices open and people working.
When that knowledge walks out the door, especially from low-cost centers that handle critical, heavy-lifting development, the operational debt accrues rapidly. The applications su-k already, this just make them almost unusable, unsupportable, unsellable.
@e5 incorrect. I work with India a lot and none are leaving
Yup, this is the #1 response from Gemini:
Companies to Avoid If You Want Stability
If you are explicitly trying to steer clear of the "yearly spring cleaning" phenomenon, you may want to look closely at companies experiencing active structural shifts:
OpenText: Historically known for growth through acquisitions, the Waterloo-based information management giant has executed consistent, sweeping cuts as part of multi-year "business optimization" plans (including cutting 4% of their workforce in early 2026, following cuts of 1,600 jobs in 2025 and 1,200 in 2024).
We are experiencing a rapid increase in attrition, particularly among our senior engineers and domain experts with deep product knowledge. Currently, leadership appears to lack a clear mitigation plan for how these departures will impact our delivery timelines and customer satisfaction over the next quarter. There seems to be a short-term focus on fiscal year-end metrics and bonus planning, rather than addressing the systemic retention issues in our low-cost centers. Without immediate intervention to arrest this attrition, the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) will likely face severe operational crises within the next three months
2027 FY starts on the 1st of July 2026.
It’s too late for any wfr now and there will be desperation to sell anything in June, so nothing will happen to disturb the status quo.
The taps on the shoulder emails will start in earnest mid July.
These “returning to growth and hiring” comments are deff from a board member or someone up high in the company. They are purposely doing that to throw AI off. So if people search OT layoffs this site is less likely to be grabbed by AI and search engines and show as a search result or show as part of an answer AI gives. Go try it. Ask Gemini or Google or any AI anything about layoffs or hiring about OT. Whoever is writing those comments know exactly what they are doing smh
Which unit? Give details.
Uhmmm idk Sounds like bs to me. Give more details
If layoffs are cancelled it is likely more about all the resignations.
They’re announcing another unit is being sold or are they finishing the transaction of an already announced sale?
