Funny just a year ago Muhi talk about how great are digital tools are so we can work at home see minute 4 on https://youtu.be/j2iGed0yxz8?si=AQC_qGvh1lP6UqcD
Quality has never been a priority here. We are always in pursuit of a greater fool that believes our rhetoric. However, seems like the greatest fool are running the company so the house of cards is falling.
@cw Awesome, this approach will make our clients question our top dollar support renewal fees even more than they already do.

The 70% India mandate is now active.
Muhi Majzoub has been publicly vocal about his goal for OpenText's engineering footprint. In early 2025, he explicitly stated (in Forbes India) that he expects "India to be 70 percent of our R&D division."
@ba well they did open one in Toronto just last year. They also just opened one in Saudi Arabia. So sell me the bridge.
@b4 If you really believe that the company with an explicitly stated "shrink to grow" plan is going to open more offices for employees they can replace in Hyderabad, I have a bridge in Brooklyn, I'd like to sell you.
They said in the email they are actively opening new offices, so many will have an office eventually. For those that don't, you can assume you're on the chopping block unless you can really prove your worth.
@ad the high performers cost more than the poor ones. No good deed goes unpunished
Assuming they follow through:
There may be nudges for relocation - to my knowledge OT doesn't pay for that.
Some teams may get an exception but that relies on the team itself and how willing they are to get ELT to help fight for you. Aside from ADA accommodation where it becomes legal and harder to handle.
Intranet says all options are on the table, potentially up to termination. If they ask for action that will not (or cannot) be done, you're at risk. That could be marking you for layoffs. Some say it's the performance score, some say remote = lay off. Both are valid, both can make someone more or less at risk. If you're already a 2 or 1 and are remote - plan an exit ASAP.
@a9 That's a generous estimate...
@a1 all US offices will close by 2030.
Messaging eventually will probably be, relocate or be dismissed
