So people can be ready for it.

It's been a few weeks, but I've finally calmed down. When I first heard the news my body felt weak, I couldn't sleep because this visionary was gone.

internal sentiment at this company is too negative. hard to work with some people/teams with sh-t attitude and outlook as a motivated new hire and outsider, trying to make it work. cant even explain how much worse my last gig was and it was rated one... — read more 

How can moving to limited pools of employees around centres of excellence, improve a company? I call BS. They are winding OT down.

No meaningful raises for 99% of the employees No more monetary awards to recognize years of service No cost of living increases Rare that leaders are allowed ot give monetary thank you's for going the extra mile. OT . The company that comes to mind... — read more 

What an absolute disgrace of a migration, whoever signed off on big bang approach should be sacked. I feel for the support team

I see the market was up again today, and the OpenText price ... oh, crud ... down again. This company's outlook is bleak as long as Jenkins, his pupppet CEO, the so-called Board of Directors, Bell, Muhi, Rai, Berry, Cione, Acedo, and all the other... — read more 

No kidding. These people laid off everyone in Portfolio then pushed their work to teams that have never heard of the product before. Literal people that support things like SiteScope now working Portfolio products with zero training on them. Just two... — read more 

Deals pushed. Numbers missed again.

Want your voice heard? Do not participate in the survey. A poor survey participation rate tells this company everything they need to know.

This company is the worst ever. They have no clue what they are doing. SMBC is for sale, probably sold already. Just let us go already. I'm not giving in though; they are going to pay me severance. Treating people like sh!t is going to work, and... — read more 

How many years do you need to be here to get severance?

A layoff is when good epmployees are let go due to bad business decisions. The employees were forced to support and try to make those decisions work, and are then fired. The executives who made those decisions stick around, say they hated to do it... — read more 

I hate this job and this company. I'd leave if I could, but the market is awful. The only silver lining is that layoffs happen all the time, so I might get out with severance eventually.

is there any new data about this topic? we are waiting for several month to be laid off or sold and it really disrupts the work flow and motivation, everyone is waiting so everything is very slow and unmotivated......

I've seen people starting to relax because they think the layoffs are winding down. That's a mistake. If you look at what's actually happening, it's pretty clear that we're not done yet. Anyone who thinks we're close to the end is going to be very... — read more 

Did anyone else notice this when filling out the culture survey they sent out - clicking on any answers on any questions acted normally UNTIL you got to the question of "do you plan to quit in the next six months" - every time you picked an answer or... — read more 

Well, the big kickoff is underwhelming. I wasn't expecting an episode of the view right out of the gate. I would've expected this later this afternoon. Good lord, we're such a woke, gynocentric mess. I gotta get outta here. Wonder if I can get... — read more 

Yes or no?

Ayman was given the okay from the board (including approval on HUGE spend) for what is unfolding now for F27. The caveat is that these investments must grow the business in each product group by 2%. To be clear, not an overall %, but each sales BU... — read more 

Winning ‘Best Company in Canada’ after shrinking from 35,000 employees to 20,000, spending a decade dismantling products, and still paying for awards… now that’s commitment to the wrong KPIs. I guess the award was based on marketing, because it... — read more 

The SLT received HUGE comp increases for the new opentext and many are on LI announcing their promotions and sharing endlessly about their many accomplishments. Others are publicly talking about the new GTM model , clearly excited about their new... — read more 

A lotof cliches can be said so I'll spare you the boredom. They did it again, stakeholder value was retained for a quarter at a cost of competency. We knew this comany is not here to innovate, I mean the top product is a cheap SharePoint variant... — read more

As expected, my LinkedIn feed for the last 18 hours has been filled with former colleagues announcing they had been kicked to the curb by OpenText. But in a new sick twist, a number of remaining employees have taken to LinkedIn to crow how they were... — read more 

This seems like a small round, but you can never tell with the size of the company.

Are there any cuts coming to engineering or cloud operations ? If so when

I was let go today along with many others at the Waterloo office. Many good people. All very senior, so it is all about cutting cost as much as you can. Happy to leave. Dead products with no future growth.

The poor performers are being removed from the company The people who don't do any work and don't comply with RTO policy are gone We can now move forward and thrive without the dead weight

Today I witnessed all that is wrong with the human race. All people really care about is themselves, they asked the questions, but all they really wanted to know or hear was not me, not me(this time). However, what I found most disgusting was the... — read more 

On a town hall just now, EVP mentioned there are layoffs coming. Hopefully it won't impact too many people.

As the title says. its WFRs with no relation to performance

To the folks that have knowledge of the layoffs and willing to share. It’s su-k being laid off but at least you are prepared for it and not blind sided one day. Gives you time to look for other jobs and get your finances in order.

Will there be more tomorrow?

Does anyone know what the payout for each year of service is with OT?

Just got layoff. Remote, but HR said it is not because I was. remote.

What is the difference or how are they related?

Just heard of several people in support and professional services getting whacked today. Bloody Monday
