It means all salespeople become hunters because there is nothing else to farm. Last ditch effort to get as much new sales as possible in the short term.
@h5 We are totally cutting back on funding for any internal projects that don’t have a solid "AI angle." If a product line can't easily fit into the OpenText Aviator AI platform, it’s basically seen as just hanging on or something to get rid of.
Get ready for "one divestiture per quarter" throughout 2026.
People who still believe OT is growing are completely out of touch. The situation is a mess, the company lacks vision, direction, and any real plan. The sooner you recognize that, the better it will be for your future.
Many tenured and former employees have

All due respect I wouldn't use hiring as a barometer for the health of OT. They will offset that by upcoming layoffs. Also open reqs mean nothing as this is an easy lever to pull (ie: freeze reqs) to control opex. Lastly they must publically present a company that looks robust and stable for potential buyers, for part or all of the business. In M&A we call that putting lipstick on a pig. (No offense to pigs).
@f3 I guess headcount is Dublin.
Ireland
@cs or Manila or Bucharest.
@an you must be in India
There are new people arriving in my office daily
