Awarded Canada’s Best Companies

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 certainly wasn’t based on what happened to the products, the people, or the shareholders.

@f0 Are you Canadian? I am. You are clueless.

@h3 As a Canadian, I agree. Canadians, in general, are very ignorant of what is actually occurring around them. The country could be burning, but as long as PM Carney and his globalist friends get to carve out Canada and enrich themselves, the voters will rejoice.

As for OpenText. This company will shed all legacy products. I hate working for a publicly traded company.

Why do you think they called it the "Human Resource" department?

You are a resource. Nothing more.

Pay taxes and die.

@n5 Nonsense. There is no free lunch in the physical world. There's a cost borne by everything, even solar and wind, even if it's the acres of farmland denuded of life from the shade of solar panels. In reality, neither solar or wind power overcomes the cost, pollution, and energy used in manufacture. Those costs are carried by others, mostly China.

As the turbine blades and panels age and reach end of life, or break, they create toxic junk that has to be dealt with. Those batteries needed to store energy have a finite lifespan, after which they need to be replaced. Where do they go? to the third world where some poor mook busts them apart with a hammer and takes them apart in a field, gathering the good parts, and chucking the unsaleable toxic stuff in a pile.

Same thing happens in the business world, like with OpenText. The IT knackers will come and bust the carcass up. Keep the good bits and chunk the bad bits in the furnace.

@h3 exactly bud, that is why your country is in such good shape, where burning oil and poison people’s lungs is better than getting FREE clean energy from the sun and wind.
The always arrogant thinking of a decadent and totally sinister empire.

@f0 we are all leaving soon. Im just milking it to get a few more paychecks. Coming up for SKO to enjoy a partial vacation, last virtual interview is Tuesday AM and if it goes well, the rest of my time there will be on vacation. Go Blue Jays. Enjoy Carney and your new socialist life as you have less and less. We will keep refining your oil, we thank you. When Russia attacks you give us a call, we will be here

Nortel is calling and they want their “best company” honor back. Spirit of Canada lives in the fight of the hockey players and the ba--s of the truckers. OTEX needs both with a Molson chaser. Oh Canada

Canada is in bad shape if OTEX is the best.

It's likely a pay for play award. Most of those type of "awards" are.
