Anyone here had the misfortune of developing something for OrangeHRM? Its made in symfony but seems like an old af version and I cant seem to find anything on it that helps. Been searching for hours >.<

No, but we did write a software replacement for it in about 2 months. It's definitely way more complicated than it needs to be. It's only open source so far as they had a team of guys in Sri Lanka copy paste from stack overflow and OS projects until they had something that kind of worked.
