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 

Here to shear that there is a massively supportive corporate level campaign to monitor and manage compliance with the RTW mandates. This includes the 5-day requirement for employees who have always been assigned to an office to badge in five days a... — read more 

Seriously, if the comp. is going down then why are they hiring? OK, they remove the employees with high salaries, give more work to those who are still there, but then still hire new ones (obviously less pay) does that mean the teams that are... — 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 

This is a company stuck in amber. Old school processes, old school thinking, old school resistance to anything new. Propose a fresh idea and watch it get crushed. Try to work differently and see how fast you get shut down. Individual contribution... — read more 

Happy August 14th! Now that the official "you must be present to win" date has arrived, did OpenText actually pay out any annual bonuses today? After they raised the achievement metrics last year, I’m genuinely curious if anyone saw 100%, a fraction... — read more 

No president's club this year!

I feel like I've drank some poisoned coolaid at the FY27 kickoff. Ever since the last round of restructuring, layoffs, optimisation or whatever the fu-k else you wanna call it the company processes have ground to a screeching maniacal halt. Sales?... — read more

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.

One of the biggest surprises here has been how disconnected everything feels. There's very little collaboration, almost no coaching, and it's easy to go long stretches without hearing from leadership unless there's a problem. Is this just me? Did I... — read more 

There's a wave 2 WFR aligned for October. There is also a McKinsey run project ongoing ...And employee F26 ratings have been moved up to July. What's OpenText up to?

OT hasn’t done anything to make any meaningful (or simply, ANY) change. The “Bored” and so-called leadership are former CEO nepo-babies who don’t care a whiff about anything but their own “standing” with King of the Bored Jenkins. What do we know? ... — read more

What happened to the other BU's that were sold off? Did all employees get laid off? To be sold off seems like a good thing at this point, or is that just wishful thinking?

So people can be ready for it.

It's been a few weeks, but I've finally calmed down. When I first heard the news my body felt weak, I couldn't sleep because this visionary was gone.

internal sentiment at this company is too negative. hard to work with some people/teams with sh-t attitude and outlook as a motivated new hire and outsider, trying to make it work. cant even explain how much worse my last gig was and it was rated one... — read more 

How can moving to limited pools of employees around centres of excellence, improve a company? I call BS. They are winding OT down.
