You would not believe it. There's about 30% of people working their a$$ off. The remainder either put mouse wigglers on so it looks like they are working 24 hours a day or are just mia. There is z e r o accountability. No one ever gets in... — read more 

Do we think layoffs will come by the end of October or November? I heard there will be layoffs

And yet I don't know if I'll be let go this week because even when they say cuts are based on performance, we all know by now it's anything but true. It's sad that these days, being good at your job means basically nothing here.

The PHP incident bringing to the fo-e the skelton technical staff we have to remidiate situations like this, resposne and communication to end client has been less then impressive. Also seen reports of data been stolen from OpenText reported on... — read more

Compare this to people from NVIDIA, Anthoropic, OpenAI, and Grok discussing AI with these persons invited by OT at OT World 2026. I know one thing: they are unfamiliar with artificial intelligence. They continue to use the old definition of AI. One... — read more 

How long until somebody notices?

For those of us who have not been there. What exactly is this other than office space and people? The video promos make it look very futuristic, cutting hedge CIA/MI5 type vibe, keen to understand what it looks and feels like and is it locked down... — read more

I'm dealing with two directors who are making this place absolutely miserable. One of them keeps trying to claim my work as his own, like I won't notice or something, and the other one spends all her time tearing down what other teams accomplish just... — read more 

You know where you rank, regular OT folks. The company needs to save money, cut back (WFRs) on costs, but then we're slapped in the face with this big to-do in Orlando.

Has anyone lawyered up after they received their severance ultimatum? If so, was it worth it?

I have 6 goals for financial year 27. I am told that is normal despite. To me this sounds odd having just joined from another company. Am I fodder for a layoff or some forced curving ?

My manager was canned this week. Told that the position has been relabeled as Waterloo. They weren't given the option of relocating, this was the first they heard about this on the HR call. She tried to ask questions and kept getting the same... — read more 

Oh dear , dear oh dear

No layoffs for the foreseeable future , our CEO said our new plan will be built around our most important asset, our people Rest easy people and collect that cheque

OpenText has spent almost 10 years building and running our FedRAMP environment. In my estimation, we must have spent at least $30–45 million on this entire exercise. And how much revenue have we generated? I will be very surprised if it is even $2... — read more 

After all the reorg emails last week it said management and HR would be talking to people about reporting lines within a week This hasn't happened, any idea when it will ? Everyone is in limbo

I can’t get into anything today, and it feels like this is an ongoing problem. Saving money by using our own technology is great if it helps solve problems or streamline how we do work, the problem is none of our tools are leaders of the pack, or at... — read more

Honest question. How are we supposed to work and live like normal when our reality is anything but?

Manager is fed up with how they have been treated, unable truly make decisions on ratings and merit, believes they have a target on them. They have an official "talking point" doc that came down from HR with how to respond to employees questions... — read more 

Is that it ? Do we all go back to work or will there be more to filter down

Any layoffs next week ? When will the org changes be finished

They have no idea. No one was briefed outside of Ayman's circle. They were told by the VP a lot of employees will get shuffles around.
