Micronets is closed…
Posted by admin on January 2nd, 2010
It was a great time working for Micronets, but as so many things in life, everything comes to an end.
OpenText bought Vignette in May 2009 (Micronets-Vidavee was part of Vignette) and they decided(on July 2009) to close the office in Cluj Napoca. Everybody(around 24 people) was layd off by 30 December 2009. This is so sad, we had a great team and cool products.
We received some severance payment from OpenText (that Romanian laws grant us) but nothing more. There were people in the office who received the value of one salary…I was happy to get severance payment for two months.
The really sad part of the story is how OpenText treated us. More on this on a future post.
I learned a lot, I meet wonderful people(in India, US and UK) I made friends at Micronets and I’m sure life will be better without OpenText 
We just had Christmas and New Year, right now I don’t have big plans, just trying to rest. I’m thinking to take a freelance position for a while.

It was fantastic working with you Janos on some great Flex stuff. Great turnaround for every task that you had on hand and always a pleasure to work with

Sorry to hear about that. On the other hand, you never know when bad turns to good. Good luck on your journey.
