I left without another job lined up, and I don't regret it. Having no paycheck for a while feels less frightening than going back to that place, having to deal with an abusive manager who thinks screaming at the top of his lungs is a valid management... — read more 

Seriously, how much longer are we supposed to wait? It’s been almost a year already. When is OpenText finally going to sell ADM?

The lack of energy in the office is incredible. We aren't hiring so many but HR can't even keep up Our stock price is heading into the toilet due to all the lost customers There are many rounds of layoffs on the horizon as our CEO said on the town... — read more 

For anyone who's completely burned out, here's something I've learned. You can push back on some of the nonsense and the sky doesn't immediately fall. A lot of managers aren't going to fire someone who is still carrying a big part of the workload. If... — read more

At this point, whatever happens, happens. For about a year now my manager has been slowly cutting me out, from questioning why I'm in meetings to giving opportunities I asked for to newer coworkers. I used to get furious about it, but I've realized... — read more 

Amazing to listen to the sales president spin everything. Truth is Q1 is a disaster and the BOD and CEO are going to be making some major changes.

Is it true that new hires with less than 1 year tenure are given the "developing contributor" primarily due to them being new to role and not really because of performance reasons? Also, what are the implications of this rating?. I believe... — read more 

Anyone know if large layoffs are coming in October ? Aymon mentioned in town hall that large layoffs were only if a company had a profit problem whereas Opentext has a revenue problem so sounds like no cuts ?

Finally. It's here. Part of my Opentext AI mandate to learn AI. This is what I have learned. There is now an AI tool to replace ELT. It can't do any worse and Opentext get instant cost savings by replacing the entire Suite C level with AI. That's... — read more 

Not only is OT late to the party, but they're rushing to join the worst party. https://www.wheresyoured.at/premium-the-haters-guide-to-the-ai-bubble-3-0/

What a piece of Shi$ Mu#i and the rest of the cr-ppy leadership. How about giving up some of the exec pay raises so monetary awards can be given back to deserving employees.

I’ve been watching these new CE get their number and realise that they actually are responsible for ITOM Business networks and Cyber. I’ve been invited to their meetings for input…… The ITOM business and Cyber haven’t done big deals in years….. Has... — read more 

How many employees are put in the lowest two buckets (needs improvement and developing contributor) . What if you have been unfairly out into that bucket. Is there any point in challenging it ?

What's the change Ayman skirted around during today's town hall? Solutions and teams moving "out of the Core". He is waiting for a recommendation from "the team". His way of putting a WFR blame on others since he is going to follow "the teams"... — read more 

Take all the bonuses away from M4 and above. Make all M4 and above take a 3% pay cut. Give all M3 and below a minimum of a 5% raise. Then we will believe that you truly understand we are the most important assets the company has and that we need to... — read more 

As thankful as I am to be employed, the nightmare here never ends. It isn’t the work itself that is stressful, it’s the culture. There’s too little focus on competence and too much focus on sycophancy. Some senior “leaders” know nothing, don’t listen... — read more 

Not sure why SLT cannot see their sh---y politics and zero value add to the organization. Shannon bell wake up.

I can't tell you how many hours are lost every day because of faulty network or connection issues. I won't report them anymore because they go into a bottomless pit. I just sit and stew about it. and if I'm doing that and everyone else is doing the... — read more 

The leadership's perfect candidate has wisdom of a 50yo, experience of a 40yo, drive of a 30yo, and will work for pay of 20yo.

Does anyone have credible intelligence about when the next round of layoffs will begin and what the target groups are likely to be?

Is this the miracle Todd C has bet his career on?

Just seen there was a celebration of project unity in the UK with Shannon Bell. I am not sure this migration could have been anymore of a sh-t show. I previously spent 30% of my week chasing approvals (that in 4 years I have never not had one... — read more

If you're too good at your job, they'll never move you up. Do enough to stay safe. That's how you ensure you have a career here.

Once again, each team must come up with 15% of its total employees minimum who are rated as not performing. Think about that. It is a must. There's no pushback. Extreme pressure from the ELT to not buck this system. Not every team has employees who... — read more

No president's club this year!

Merging Sales Ops, Dev PMO, Renewals Ops, PS Ops (x2), Revenue Ops, and PMO into one org is textbook eliminate redundant layers. We should all be watching for follow-on layoffs in 60-90 days, consistent with the pattern we’ve been seeing since Mark... — read more 

Nice job, ADM. But what’s next? Core or non-core, sale or not? Thoughts?

It's pretty entertaining to see how the short sales have increased on OTEX since July 15. Tomorrow might be fun.

Prove employees are the most valid asset OT has. Or continue the peppering of bad press until the company finally goes under.

Could you please spell out your acronyms in the first post? Just because your random letters mean something to you, it means nothing to the rest of us. I'm in Core (aka the ones that actually matter). When you talk about some random unit being sold... — read more 

Have you been laid off from OoenText in the US and taken the COBRA option for health insurance? If so, can you share cost info? Thanks!

Who are the Teflon's ? The one who always manage to dodge accountability by shifting responsibility onto others, while the rest of the team is left to pick up the pieces and work twice as hard to go unrecognized as always.
