#uncertainty

get ready because they're not done cutting jobs! rumor has it another round of layoffs are coming after thanksgiving. the severance isn't great especially if you don't have a lot of tenure. update your resume and watch your holiday spending. this ship is sinking fast.

Super quiet in my group with a few folks burning unused PTO.

Was yesterday the main day or will it be today?

Despite a slight increase in job cuts from September to October, overall layoff numbers for 2026 are significantly lower than the previous year. Research indicates a trend of companies retaining staff for seasonal needs rather than permanent hires. However, a separate survey reveals that a majority of business leaders anticipate continued layoffs in 2027. This suggests a potential shift in workforce strategies despite current reductions. HR departments are advised to prepare for these upcoming workforce changes.

Hi all, it’s been a while since Fidelity paused visa sponsorships and hiring. Many contractors’ current contracts are due to end in about a month, but we haven’t received any updates. Does anyone know what’s happening? I’ve been working as a contractor for five years, and I expected to hear about a new contract extension by now. Any idea what is happening internal ?

I know companies have strategies to reduce workforce and adjust to the business. But layoff at every few months is not good for workers to concentrate. When is a good time to be stable and stop laying off? I have not seen this in the past 20+ years of my career in the company.

Do managers have their lists yet? Anyone gotten a meeting thrown on their calendar after earnings? Hearing conflicting info on whether it will be 11/13 or 11/17

Anyone have any insight as to what is going on with Home & Community? Things feel off in general since layoffs happened the week before last. Multiple meetings have been cancelled. It’s a very stressful and tense environment right now, feels like we’re all at risk as care coordinators.

Got fired today. I'm a team manager. But my manager wouldnt tell me if and who else on my team was also being fired with me.
Each team member one by one is getting meeting invite to be fired. Over a few days. And not at the same time. With a few still left who have no idea if they are just on the end of the list or have been spared this round.
WTF? Seriously you su-k OpenText.

Why is it so quiet in S&T? No news of changes or re orgs. Is it calm before the storm whilst other functions sort their teams out? Should I be worried or are we saved?

Jamie held a meeting today to inform us that our positions would be affected. With so many Cm's & Pa's what would be the criteria to be the first to be laid off?

Even here we're only getting bare bones. What's going on?

My manager/sr director still did not give clarity on if it’s over or not :/

Does anybody know if these cuts in the last two days are just isolated incidents or part of something larger that's coming?

Are layoffs still this week?

Are there layoffs happening right now or are people talking about cuts that already happened last week and last month?

I know they sent out the communication about changes and all, but it feels too quiet. Like nothing has been really said about what’s going on.

US based. Received email notification about meeting with the upper up today this morning. On Teams it appears only between me and this upper up. I've been mentally prepared for this during the past weekend(s). However when I was arriving to the room, there were so many other people from my team both online and offline. Apparently we are safe, and 1 person is impacted from our team. The upper up shared that he/she knows other team in different region (country) that we're working closely with got more severely impacted (5-10 people). Another smaller team that I'm working closely with wasn't impacted (all safe). We get to breathe now at least and is assured the round is over, until who knows when next year.

This week feels like a sweet spot before the holidays.

When is it happening??

Hearing mutters about layoffs the week before thanksgiving. Anyone have insight on what roles may be impacted? Definitely unnerving news to get right before the holidays, but not totally unexpected..

We all know it's coming... any rumors, news?

Anyone else receive a 15-minute Employee Information Session invite from the CPO for November 10, sent to around 400 employees? The subject says “Mandatory Attendance,” but the description says attendance is recommended. Does anyone know if this is related to layoffs, restructuring, or general company updates?

Most of the people are from El Paso location
It’s quite interesting

Or will there be more cuts in other areas throughout the rest of the week?

Where? How many?

I only wish that meant our chances of layoffs were dropping, but I know that couldn't be further from the truth.

This or next month?

Anyone have a random short meeting pop up for tomorrow?

I mean, they've been cutting consistently throughout the entire 2026, I'm hoping they cut everybody they wanted to for the year. Am I being too optimistic?

During the town hall, the CHRO pretty much said they don’t know what’s going to happen to business areas that support the enterprise (DDAT, HR, Finance, etc.). I’m guessing both companies will get their own Shared Services area?

Anyone else hear that there will be layoffs, starting with 2nd shift at the beginning of the year??

Is everything okay at the Tampa site? Heard of a developing situation, but not many details. Praying for all.

Another notification could arrive at any time, and we're left wondering whether we'll be the next ones called in. Constant uncertainty like this is no way to treat a workforce.

Or let me rephrased that, I used to really like my job, but now that has been overshadowed by constant layoffs with no end in sight. We had layoffs before, this is not new, but at least once the round was done, we knew it was done. How are we supposed to deal with the constant axe hanging over our heads?

Even if I'm on the list, I'd like to know as soon as possible.

As a result of this mess?
