Thread regarding Open Text Corp. layoffs

@va I really don't like that this is true, but it is.

In an old man yells at cloud voice, "It didn't have to be this way!" and "YOU MANIACS!! YOU BLEW IT UP! AH, DAMN YOU! GOD! DAMN YOU ALL TO HE-L!!"

@OP I know staying here may be worse for a lot of folks, but something to help keep your sanity. Try to focus on the positives however little they maybe. Be grateful for the job you have in this job market. It's not good out there, trust me. Any unemployed person would consider you lucky to have a job.
Have a plan in place. Use the time that you are here to upskill so that you are prepared in case you do get laid off. Keep applying to jobs as if you are laid off and see how the market is, if you get an offer leave. If not, consider yourself lucky that you still have more time to search for one by being on OT payroll.
If you have a family spend time with time, spend time with your friends and just try to be positive. This may sound preachy but hope it helps.

@f3 I believe the reply you answered too is from a bot... i saw the same thing in other threads....

as the @OP , people in the team and I taking more and more responsibilities , more then ever.... we just don't have enough people in teams to do anything and OT just keep cutting us off more and more each and every day.
It's not anymore about taking responsibilities - everyone does it's about keep our head above water wan the a hand with 50KG force behind it that push us down and tries to drown us....

The stock is now below the $22.58 low of September 18 and at its weakest since the August 6 earnings. Where's the CEO?

Q2 of FY27 starts Thursday - it’s quite possible that stay-or-go decisions have already been made for a number of people, and will play out this week and next. If your number is up, hope you get a package, however small.

Also, some co-workers straight up disrespect you and the team, by washing their hands off with not taking on more responsibilities

Jesus man :) I am sorry and quite sad for you. You exactly discrespect yourselt at first place.

You do not get paid for taking responsibility of others, that is also your choice. Company or team is not your family.

This company constantly abuse it's power vs employes for own gains which you will never ever see. All signs, layoffs, closed offices, less ammount of new coworkers from centers of excelent in ratio from 1/2 to 2/3 max, nonsense mandatory office rule changes... you name it.

You can stay if you want as long as you want and take all reaponsibility you want but who will save you if not you?

@OP There is certainly a lot to be desired in the salary department--in my case I need a 50 to 60% raise to come up to market average for a step down in seniority (that's how low mine is). Leaving is not an option, though, when AI reads resumes and rejects based on one small thing missing (that a human would recognize could be learned easily based on everything else that is known by the candidate).
The constant fear of layoff is what erodes my mental health.
Still, what strikes me as sad is that this is the only company I have ever worked in where my managers (I've had more than one) all have had experience doing the work that I currently do--they know the job from experience. In all past jobs, not one manager had a clue what my work meant.

• some of my existing responsibilities...

@OP agreed and confirmed 100%. The energy in the office is incredible and everyone is happy and doing their best work

Also, some co-workers straight up disrespect you and the team, by washing their hands off with not taking on more responsibilities, leaving everyone else in the team having to take more. Like buddy, we are all burnt out, what makes you a special one, you get to do what you want when you want. You’re disrespecting everyone in the team. Just when you thought you were in a great team, in times like these everyone shows their true colors.
