I'm no longer at Open Text, I was laid off last year, but I admit I'm curious to see if severance remains the same or if they shrunk it even more.

Why does the leadership keep doing this? What's being achieved? We lost two of our most valuable team members today. I've only been here for four years, they both had 15+ years with the company. I don't understand how you just decide to get rid of... — read more 

Long time follower first time poster from Canada, laid off today! This site can pinpoint a specific day! Just epic!

This isn’t speculation anymore — layoffs are happening, and India seems to be in the middle of it right now (likely continuing through the week). From what I’m hearing, this is part of a broader org restructuring with global impact. The numbers being... — read more 

This is your sign to keep applying to a new and well-deserved company that will actually cherish your years. Life is too short for this BS. I've been laid off today but thank god I have a few offers lined up. I can only wish the best for my fellow... — read more 

After I was told that I was let go, my OT accounts got disabled in around two to two and half hrs. Since I had not locked my device or logged out, I could continue to access my local personal files and upload them to cloud storage. If you have any... — read more 

Good luck folks! It happened to me this morning

Muhi will announce his retirement soon. Today, is a definite possibility.

No invites sent, nothing has happened in India No layoffs

May the odds be ever in your favor. Just know it’s a normal thing here at OT, nothing you did wrong. Onwards and upwards

How hard would it be to put together an actual strategy instead of just running the same play over and over - dispose of people, repeat.

Big difference in both these numbers . Which one is it

When are we expecting the event ? Will India have it's layoffs done by the time people in North America start Monday ? Will it go on all week ?

My guess is that he won’t stay longer than a year. I’m in management and preparing for a revolving door of executives along with quarterly RIFs until we are ultimately acquired.

Tough times are ahead. Again. I'm training myself to use every moment away from work for myself, to stop carrying it with me all the time. I can't influence what's going to happen, so I can at least try to enjoy what precious free time I have. Good... — read more

One of Shannon's direct reports going to India, coincidence ?

Let's say we survive next week, what's ahead of us in July ? More general layoffs or entire teams and órga being gotten rid of ?

A massive reorg is being planned to reduce business units , and consolidate around AI document management systems. Think Content Server + Aviator.

To be honest id welcome getting released from this pressure cooker, a truly horrible place to work

Any orgs or regions getting a pass?

Being told to implement IA to do your job, so we don't need you anymore, or we will let you go, makes no sense. Especially when no tools or assistance are provided. It's like telling the bus driver to implement a self-driving system so we don't... — read more 

In previous companies I've worked at, the direct mgr does the layoff but from what I see in OT it's the VP who does the lay off ? Are direct managers in the loop at all ? When will invites go out , Friday ?

none of them are regular software engineer positions :-(

This layoff round is taking a large amount of causalities. US/CA/UK/EMEA/India Good luck to all

Who is the target next week ? Virtual / managers or everybody

Following block , OpenText will use this at its new narrative Before it was “Covid” then it was “tariffs/trump” now it’ll be AI This is the only option they know

Is this being reported on? Four days in the office is too much, the low morale in the office is ki-ling me.

Now the people left are doing twice the work. Every single day.

Over 8000 people in India and only 12 job openings Are Opentext shrinking India ? If so, why

Yearly spring cleaning time at OpenText. Brush off your resumes !

After 90% of the MLT was let go in December. Whether you liked them or not everything has gone to sh-t. But today embarks on the official end. The last person standing in Marketing ALedgister was let go. For all of us left in Marketing and are... — read more 

India is the most important region to OT, they are hiring and completely committed to India No layoffs there

We have so many people whose whole job is collecting updates from those of us who do the work and presenting them somewhere else. They don't add anything. They don't do anything. They just take the work, repackage it, and hand it up. Cut them all and... — read more 

Hearing to 15 bucks a share

Oy with this cr-p company for 7 months so prob wouldn't severance but I can't stand this place, I dread every day What are my chances

It's down to $25 usd. That's a 28.8% 6 month low. Someone in ELT is going to push the layoff button because they don't have any other buttons.

I am "offboarding" this wonderful place in the US. Of course, the links to the offboarding processes do not work or time out. All I really care about is COBRA (they can take their surveys and shove them). Has anyone that has recently ejected... — read more 

People are suggesting this date but would they pick the last week of quarter ? If it's true, is it just India or everyone ?
