Todd Cione All Hands
Quoting Proverbs. He is starting to get desperate. I wonder if that's because he knows who is new boss will be and recognizes he will soon be without a job.
George Schindler from CGI added to Board of Directors
This does not bode well. Have a look at CGI layoff. Same playbook. Mistreatment of employees, off shoring to India and layoff being the only solution adopted.

The OpenText Storyteller Quest by Sandy

James is not the right leader. It should have been Duggan
This company is not serious about getting better and competing. James is a weak leader. Duggan has vision and cares about this company.
Memory Book?
A Memory Book for Mark B? For employees to thank him for all he did at OpenText?? I didn’t think Sandy could get any more delusional or tone deaf, but here we are.

Inside News Request
Insider, any word on when the next round of layoffs will be?
Am I the only one who still likes working here?
Layoffs are something that happens everywhere, we're not special in that regard. And I still think this is a decent job if you're lucky to have a good team and a good manager. Just my 2 cents.
Just move SWE to India already
The outsized focus on India sends a message that every other engineer should be heading to the exit. Just get it over with.
A message to our Chief Product Officer and CTO, Saginay Berry
You have a very short window sir to do the right thing until the new CEO comes and sees right through your wall of snake oil and misdirection. Your presentation onstage at the internal kickoff was an hour of wasted time I will never get back. You... — read more
