Now we’re back to the usual agenda of outsourcing whenever possible!

“The Patient Care Systems hub will develop cloud-based platforms and clinical software to support connected care for patients with implanted cardiac devices, according to a Thursday statement from economic development agency IDA Ireland. The investment will add 85 jobs initially. New roles at the site will include leadership, software engineering and systems reliability positions.”

We are hiring and have returned to growth

To those posting positively about hiring and growth at OpenText on the threads here.

Please do a reality check on how things actually are here and across the industry. If you haven’t done your own research, ask around. Plenty of people will give you an honest picture.

If you know the reality and choose to ignore it, at least don’t mislead others. Stop posting overly optimistic takes about job openings or “returning to growth” when most people here see it differently.

From the recent all-hands and CEO town hall, many of us felt the leadership lacked ownership and accountability. Questions were deflected to the ELT, and there was no clear stand on strategy, growth, or revenue only focus on personal incentives.

The concern is real: without change, OpenText risks hurting both its financials and its people.

If you disagree, back it up with facts. Otherwise, it’s time to face reality.

We are hiring for our return to growth

We need lots of people fod our new customers

Recently went through what turned out to be a fairly extensive hiring process with Walmart Global Tech. It started with an HR prescreen call, followed by a HackerRank technical interview with a Principal Engineer, and then I was flown to Bentonville for a full day in-person final round consisting of three separate sessions — coding on whiteboard, system design, and behavioral.
At the end of the in-person interview I was told that none of the three interviewers were the actual hiring manager. Instead my scores and evaluation have been uploaded to a talent pool system where multiple hiring managers can review my profile and reach out for intro calls if interested. I was told to expect contact within a week or two.
Has anyone at Walmart Global Tech been through this process — either as a candidate or as a hiring manager?

Specifically curious about:

1. How active is the talent pool — do hiring managers actually pull from it regularly?
2. What's a realistic timeline from talent pool entry to intro call?
3. Does being in the talent pool prevent me from applying to specific reqs on the Walmart career site?
4. Any general insight into how this process works internally?

I am in a location that is not one of the "big 3" and have been turned down for job after job after job after job bc I cannot relocate and "must be in one of the listed locations"...

Everyone is watching the layoffs but only some are paying attention to the real issue -hiring has slowed dramatically...

The headlines make it sound like AI is eliminating jobs overnight. The actual labor data tells a more tricky story. Layoffs are still relatively close to pre-pandemic norms. What has changed is that companies are hiring less aggressively, which makes it much harder for people entering the market, changing jobs, or recovering from layoffs.

There is also a growing amount of what even industry leaders are calling “AI washing” - companies attributing cuts to AI when the underlying causes may include overhiring, cost pressure, restructuring, or shareholder expectations.

That does not mean AI is not changing work. It clearly is. But the broader employment picture right now looks more like a low-hire, low-fire environment than a mass AI replacement event.

The practical takeaway for companies and employees is probably this: focus less on the headline layoffs and more on adaptability, skill alignment, and where actual hiring demand still exists.

Rakuten Viber increased its headcount by 30% in 2025. This contrasts with many tech companies that implemented efficiency layoffs. The messaging app company reached nearly 600 employees globally. Viber prioritizes employee well-being and stability.

The New York Fed reports AI is not the main cause of the current hiring slowdown. Elevated interest rates and past overhiring play a major role. The Fed's analysis shows broad labor weakness, not automation, explains the trend. Most firms adopting AI are retraining workers, not initiating layoffs. Startups should focus on capital costs and macroeconomic pressures over AI fears.

Several U.S. states are experiencing increased unemployment. This trend occurs despite national economic resilience. Layoffs, slower hiring, and economic uncertainty contribute to the issue. Technology, manufacturing, and tourism sectors are particularly affected. California, New York, and Florida are among the impacted states.

General Motors initiated a new round of layoffs. The cuts affected 500 to 600 salaried IT employees. These layoffs primarily occurred in Michigan and Texas. GM stated this is part of transforming its IT organization. The company faces criticism for simultaneously recruiting foreign workers.

Any thoughts ? Are we hiring and returning to growth

We are looking for lots and lots of people to help with the return to growth

We are hiring and have returned to growth

Can anybody figure out what the hiring manager is looking for to fill this position? The position has been on and off since the beginning of the year ... They are looking for a lead one day, a manager another day, a senior or level 4 ... Can someone make up their mind over there what they are looking for? The recruiter is in TX, a nice guy, and he told me that the hiring manager is driving him crazy.

I did an interview there and was ghosted after I mentioned that I am an ex L3Harris employee who was laid off in 2025. Every time I open LinkedIn, this job pops up.

Also, what programs are at Yorba Linda Sites ... seems it is L3harris, but nobody mentions that site much when I was in the SAS division.

Any info helps the Canadianite for this job since I am out of the picture.

New customers are flooding in , we are hiring and returning to growth

Anyone know who is hiring these days.

We are thriving, hiring abd returning to growth

No more layoffs. Just extra people to deal with the new business

I'm still in disbelief about my rescinded offer. I had a signed offer letter, a start date, and a moving truck booked. Then they called and said the role had been eliminated. I keep staring at my email waiting for them to say it was a mistake.

We have shrank and are now hiring and returning to growth

Is it me, or is EJ making absolutely terrible experienced FA hires? I have met a few and most have not brought over significant assets and probably were on their last leg at the firms they came from.

One actually said that they joined EJ because of Moneyguide. Not to service clients better - or for better options to grow a practice - and certainly not the culture. Simply because the firm uses MG.

Another one I met makes odd comments in meetings (totally off topic) and appears to have some personal hygiene issues (the type you smell).

Like, what is happening? Is this just hiring to keep Chubak happy? Or is this the best the K-Mart of wealth management can hire?

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but from my understanding, Fidelity is hiring junior engineers to replace high paid high ranking individual contributors.

So if that’s the case, what’s going to happen to Fidelity’s leap program? are they hiring these junior software engineers exclusively through leap? If not, what will come of the Leap program?

H1B and other immigrant hiring salaries are to be revised again and proposal to stop spouse work visa's( H4 visa holders) are in progress. This might give some relief to economy in tough market conditions.

When H1b visa cost more chances are more for employers to hire US students, Citizens and Nationals.

I am over 50 and considering applying at Humana but like many companies that seem to have become ageist and removing older folks first, I am concerned about applying here.

To those of you that either still work there or those who used to work there think they may have been discriminated against because of their age, I repeat tje same question as in the post title.

Is Humana an ageist company?

Thanks in advance.

The Canadian unemployment rate saw an increase in April. RBC Economics attributes this rise to weaker hiring, not elevated layoffs. The jobless rate reached 6.9% after the economy lost 18,000 jobs. Permanent layoffs actually decreased, remaining under their October 2025 peak. RBC indicates the labor market is adjusting, not facing a severe contraction.

I've been applying for two months and I've gotten three calls back. Is anyone actually hiring right now or is everyone just posting fake jobs?

Is anybody actually hiring, not just posting ghost openings?

Someone told me that Cognizant did not hire him as his salary was too high.
FIS wanted to transfer him. So ultimately he got riffed.

Is there a top limit cognizant is hiring FIS employees?

Information from the extensive deep research:

My base case is that a broad, post-earnings layoff announcement is unlikely, but selective reductions, tighter hiring controls, or reallocation out of slower-growth teams remain plausible. On the evidence available before the May call, I estimate the probability of any publicly visible layoff action within roughly 90 days after the call at 25%–40% (medium), with the probability of a broad company-wide program above 3% of headcount at 10%–20% (low). Confidence is medium, because the company’s operating trend is clearly improving, but it has also shown that it will still prune selectively even during periods of rising revenue

Supposedly Fiserv was going to open the new hub starting in the summer of this year, but there's been no news of it. I haven't heard if they even did the $175m in rennovations either. The plan was also going to relocate 500 employees and hire 1,500 new full time employees with annual salaries expected to average around $102K by 2030. Considering the recent the predicament the company is in, is this ever going to happen? And which business units are these even for, Merchant or Financial Solutions? The company is shrinking so an expansion seems bizarre.

What’s with the multiple FSE job openings currently in the US? Isn’t the plan to fully move to Unisys?

Do ye still accept people from outside of the US? Would it be worth a try?

Fidelity is implementing job reductions this week. Reports indicate 800 to 1,000 positions are affected. These changes follow a recent office return directive. The firm also plans to hire thousands of new staff. Restructuring impacts technology and product groups.

I mentioned earlier that it would be good to subscribe to Ignites.
The Boston Globe just put out an article titled "Fidelity Cutting About 1000 Jobs But Hiring More Than 5000, What Gives"
I am not going to subscribe to the Globe, but I'm sure it's an interesting read.

Listen for things like "Increased hiring " and " we are returning to growth "

The tide is turning , the company is over the worst

What have you heard? We have been poaching the cr-p out of Cengage, expect this company to turn in the same he’ll hole that they are. Why are we bringing over that AI slop?

A lot of my coworkers are jumping ship to join Wells Fargo. What is the deal?
