Surprised to see that Mark has not updated his LinkedIn or Twitter.

He pulled in about $155 million while running OpenText into the ground. Factor in what he made at CA and Oracle, and he’s probably sitting on a net worth north of $250 million USD.
He could easily retire and live comfortably, but his ego won’t let him.
No executive should be compensated at that level when, year after year, he laid off 2,000–3,000 people — not because they were underperforming, and not because tech replaced them, but just to hit a quarterly number and secure his bonus.
The board saw this pattern years ago but stayed quiet, largely because of personal friendships. Honestly, it’s surprising investors haven’t sued them yet for failing their fiduciary duty to protect shareholder interests.
Everything this fat f-kk touches turns to shiitt. It would be a shame if SF Opera took his advice seriously.
@1q6 , I doubt it. Mark only got in based on his past donations to SF Opera.
Will Sandy Ono now join the Opera?
@nn Mark must have known OT shares will go up after his forced departure.
He is now on the board of the SF Opera
@p5 his X/Twitter account has completely gone.
No, that tu-ds LI profile is still there: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markbarrenechea/
$7.2M in shares sold by him Friday 5th September 2025

And now his profile has gone entirely.

Many on StinkedIn do not update their resume after a removal until they can trumpet a new position. Or they change it to some pompous self employment title if nobody wants them (or just remove it altogether in some cases).
He just did a post 2hrs ago….Happy now?
Ha!
He busy counting severance bag 💰
