I have real trouble with a new manager. I've been either left out of the work that fits my skillset, or outright subjected to passive-aggressive treatment. I thought it was some personal animosity at first, now I have the impression it's a campaign... — read more
Did the removal of low performers ever take place?
It seems like the people who can’t walk and chew gum at the same time remain blissfully employed at OpenText. I received a great review and an above average merit increase. I was laid off. I was the only person on my team who could do half of our... — read more
A coworker up for a promotion was laid off
He was waiting to hear if his move up was approved and he ended up getting the news he was kicked out. I have no idea how that happen or how it was allowed to happen but it goes to show that none of us are truly safe.
Engineering Cut
I see some groups had engineering cut heavily. This is typically a very bad sign especially when the 'process' professionals who mostly bring no value and simply get in the way of innovation (at this company) remained unscathed. The budget cut... — read more
All this is incredibly depressing
We're on a sinking ship, and options out there are almost non-existent. A colleague who was let go almost a year ago is still looking for a decent job. I started panicking a while back, so I started looking while I'm still here. Given that I've... — read more
People are too negative
Read this, it paints otex in a much better light https://www.fool.ca/2026/03/27/this-beaten-down-dividend-stock-is-off-55-and-still-worth-owning/
Why cut when people are fleeing?
We've been losing experienced, well paid employees for years voluntarily. That's the exact demographic the company would want to reduce. So why do we need to do formal layoffs when so many people are leaving on their own? Are they not leaving fast... — read more
Private equity - a strong possibility
Another 52 week low with the stock today and has fallen under major support If it continues to fall then it very likely PE take over, strip the company to bare bones and break it up for parts
Next town hall with ELT
In our upcoming town halls with our ELT leaders, we have an opportunity to engage with them directly about their contributions to enhancing OpenText. We must ask vital questions: What steps have they taken to drive improvement? How have they earned... — read more
And now we wait for the next round
No rest, no relaxation, no relief...now we start figuring out when the next round will happen because we all know there'll be a next round. I hate it here.
Find the nearest exit NOW
I know the conventional wisdom is to wait it out and force the company to pay you in severance. But, they'll try to deny it to you by every means they have. You just have to ask yourself one question. Is it worth it? You'll be faced with a ticking... — read more
Shout out to Team Shannon Bell
They surprised me at the speed in which they lock out laid off employees from the laptops. We are talking 15-30 minutes. And they can discreetly delete the Outlook and Teams app off your phone within an hour. I guess the proficiency is due to the... — read more

Anyone able to confirm that?
None-Core layoffs?
Non-Core layoffs, who's actually been affected? I'm a US-based remote employee in an SMBC Non-Core unit. I was certain I'd be laid off, but the axe hasn't fallen on me or several peers. Is this a real stay of execution, or just a holding pattern... — read more
Don't pick up any extra work!
Don't help them by proving that the work can be done with fewer people by breaking your own back for nothing in return. Don't say no, just say you're busy. Your plate is full. You'd love to help but there's simply not enough time for it all. They're... — read more

Thoughts and Prayers
For those of you getting laid off, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I am waiting for my time to come. Are they sending out calendar items, or just contacting you out of the blue? Also, it looks like India is getting hit...hard.
Is it over for now ?
Are the cuts over for now ? What about Emea ?
Will there be an email sent for this round?
Or are they doing it silent
Who is let go?
Higher pay? Remote? not AI first? not using enough AI(Copilot)
Laid off and relieved
Frankly, I didn't know it would feel this good. I was sick of the job and the constant anticipation. I have something lined up. Not certain, so who knows. But I don't care right now. Thanks to all the good people I worked with. I wish you all the... — read more
Got laid off today. Waterloo opentext
Sudden layoff. No notice . Said organizational changes
Can somebody share severance info?
I'm no longer at Open Text, I was laid off last year, but I admit I'm curious to see if severance remains the same or if they shrunk it even more.
Shedding institutional knowledge
Why does the leadership keep doing this? What's being achieved? We lost two of our most valuable team members today. I've only been here for four years, they both had 15+ years with the company. I don't understand how you just decide to get rid of... — read more

Layoffs in motion — is this just the beginning?
