@16a wonder if Muhi will “retire”
They cannot hire when they have a massive lay off. Muhi’s India org will be impacted next week. With the business shrinking, they will decrease the products they’re spending money in R&D.
As salaries in India increase with cost of living (better lifestyle etc) the jobs go elsewhere.
Just shooting themselves in the foot.
@np I am extremely disgusted by this. Once, I very candidly expressed my dissatisfaction about it to an Indian employee, but his only reaction was to smile. Perhaps they believe this cannot be changed, because everyone does it this way—if you suddenly stop, you won’t get any recognition or resources.
some Indians are good but most of the
just keep the lights on. They want to get what they want but don’t do what people in US want.
The thing I struggle with hugely in the Indian teams is they have no back bone ( I get it is a cultural thing) but please start telling hard truths and only promise what you can deliver as opposed to yes yes yes and deliver next to nothing. Customers are getting fed up with it beyond belief, credibility is getting burnt and moving away after too many empty promises.
India has great talent and people that question so of the development and support decisions here and the ELT does not like that. They like workers in Manila that never question management and just “celebrate” how great OpenText is.
Really does not matter at OpenText, but flattery does.
Perhaps someone learned the quantity does not work as well as quality.
Long ago (1975), there was a book titled "The Mythical Man-Month" that explained this concept.
Maybe the abysmally bad management at OTEX has learned this the hard way.
Maybe India got too expensive
India 3.0 missed release date
OpenText has hit the Roche limit, this is why.
