With so many useless leaders under Shannon who don’t contribute to opentext success . Why are the still here ?

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

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.

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
