#development

217 people were let go from india(gdi) yesterday. This involved managers, directors, testers and developers.

Share with the world how wells is performing? What’s going really well and what’s challenging?

How’s Kaskida development coming along? Everyone optimistic?

just heard some of my friends in Canada just got layed off... is there other teams that are getting hit today? primary storage EE/ development is where he works.. good thing Michel dell is the second riches person in the world today..

Can’t say I’m surprised. LDP quality has gone downhill so much that the businesses are taking development into their own hands

Visionary Realms CEO Chris Rowan admitted that recent combat and progression updates for Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen did not perform as expected. This led to a restructuring within the development team, resulting in unspecified layoffs. Robert Crane has been rehired as project manager to improve development processes. Rowan takes full responsibility for the management failures that allowed these issues to arise. The company plans to continue work on new zones and core game experiences while promising more open communication and an updated roadmap.

FuturLab, the developer behind PowerWash Simulator, has confirmed layoffs and the cancellation of an unannounced game. The studio's CEO stated that the project was no longer financially viable. Up to seven employees were affected by these decisions. FuturLab is now focusing on supporting PowerWash Simulator 2 and developing new game concepts. The company declined to provide further details due to legal confidentiality.

I’ve seen posts for Dev Planning Hiring…Is this to refill the lower buckets? I assume nobody wants to rotate thru from other disciplines.

I pity the poor/lucky souls who will be hired…

Despite recent corporate layoffs, Oracle is actively pursuing a zoning change for its proposed East Bank development in Nashville. The company has informed local leaders that it remains committed to establishing its global headquarters in the city. This project is considered vital for the revitalization of the East Bank area. Oracle has taken steps such as pulling demolition and grading permits to support future construction. The tech giant is also seeking approval for new design standards and street grid configurations for its River North properties.

Are people leaving on their own or being forced out? For such an important function it doesn't seem very stable.

Because ET is developing SOAP. Righhhttt

Why use AI .. apply human mind that is better to development more efficient than AI… human is always win ai just help on that nothing else

I am just a T3 employee do I don't know who is going to be laid off. But I am super frustrated with the current messaging by upper management in all areas.

Design has become super important and we are hiring designers like crazy. This should not be the case because design is one of the areas where we need less people as AI has made prototyping easier.

Developers are super important and I hope they don't cut any. Not because I am a developer but because a conventional developer is not equivalent to an AI developer and almost no one gets this. As a tech company, we need more developers not less.

Development Managers is a really bad role now. This used to be a role consisting of developers who wanted to be managers as well. And they are supposed to be able to "develop" their reports from a technical perspective. But a majority of these new development managers from HPOM are not technical at all and don't understand the basics. We now have product owners, agile coaches and even retail managers and DEI coaches as development managers. SAP is increasing the number of development managers of poor quality with no added benefit.

We need more QA colleagues.

AI cannot replace support colleagues and we need to find a more sustainable way to deal with this.

And we probably should replace all executives with AI because they don't seem to do anything for the benefit of customers or stakeholders. They are too obsessed with getting their pensions.

Google this: "The Corporate Bullsh-t Receptivity Scale: Development, validation, and
associations with workplace outcomes" paper by Shane Littrell, PHD

Every consultant from McKinsey, every MC member and HR exec who talks that fake BS we hear every day, but somehow doesn't know how to ACTUALLY lead, turns out there's this paper that dives into it. Turns out the coworkers who love mission statements and call their boss 'transformational' score lowest on actual decision-making. The buzzword-fluent are running the building. All the terrible people get promoted to grades 20+ and hire their grades 17 to 19 because they like the way these people "talk". It's all in this paper.

People with an actual IQ, turns out, get promoted less.

Getting let go made me realize my skills had gotten rusty. I'd been at NCR seven years and thought my resume was fine. Then I interviewed and saw how far behind I'd fallen. Finding a new job was much harder than it should have been.

Whoops. We sent someone a replacement device and then wiped it because it was flagged as a demo phone in our system.

Just saw a post on LinkedIn that was

Excited to share my next chapter at Xerox! And then the post went on to share that this person moved into a director role and how they will continue to help Xerox on the transformation journey.

What wasn’t said but I bet is true: 1) this person is part of the 20% moving up at Xerox 2) while others whine about no pay raises this person created their pay raise 3) this person will continue to change Xerox for the better.

Congrats to another 20% worker changing our company for the better. Yes this was posted in the last 24 hours and this person moved into a new position after a round of lay offs.

Why every time lay off news.. some thing do new .. better to develop new unique features that is not available in market

Is the role change only for higher level positions. ?
How about the dev team and testing QA team. Even there is a role change for them..

Curious if any AT&T employees who are over 50 and qualify for a pension have been unexpectedly put on a “Development Plan”?

I’ve been trying to wait out the correction for the people hired as “leaders” during the pandemic. I’m not sure if it’s just my BU or others were put in roles way beyond their skill set. It’s infuriating for me to have to sit in “coaching” and have my manager explain things they would have learned in the first semester of college, had they gone.

Why is my only opportunity for development wasted listening to someone who is twice my age and trying to explain a simple concept but still needs my guidance? WHY IS THIS PERSON HIGHER RANKED THAN ME?!

I don’t know how much more I can take of this. Will there be a correction for unskilled management?

I’m surprised to be seeing such an incredibly massive influx of new hires.. mostly contractors, but FTEs also. At this rate, the new hires could easily outweigh the total layoff numbers.. 5:1 easily. Im not trying to convince or sway anyone to believe anything, i just want to know if anyone else with a high level view is seeing the same thing.

An Analyst asked on the Earnings call if Meg thought there was a scenario where this discovery wouldn't proceed to development. He started his question by saying how big AF described it to be.

She did not answer the Analyst's question about whether there's a way it doesn't get developed.

CO2 is clearly a know issue with these fields. To not answer and dodge the question by sayijg a great team is working the project sounds like reason to run.

Should we be worried we've dug ourselves into a hole we can't get out of with this biggest discovery in 25 years?

It seems that the same concerns are brought up every year, lack of career development, poor communication, insufficient tools and equipment, but no measurable progress in any of these areas is ever really made. Has anyone ever seen any meaningful change come from this survey?

Also, is it truly anonymous?
I know of some complaints made about problem people, resulted in retaliation. People who were upset about being called out for their anti-social behavior and poor work ethic, engaged in intimidating behavior towards those they believed complained about them.

Hi, my manager gave me a written development plan. I am unfamiliar with the process here - can someone please share if these plans are genuine and have good success rate for me to give it my all? Or should I work on finding a new job? Any recommendations will greatly help me, I'm in a state of shock since yesterday

What happens to the RPO?

Oracle, OpenAi end plan to expand flagship data centre https://share.google/vPxXdg2sYqSgOo5bt

What Ai tools does AT&T allow for developers?

I worked at Hanmi for close to 5 years pouring all my effort into performance.

What did I get in return?

1. Sh-t pay and overworked
2. Toxic work environment
3. No sense of development or ability to climb the ladder.
4. Politics amongst management
5. Managers that don’t really care about development of their employees’ career advancements.
6. No change of salary negotiation even with an offer letter from somewhere else.

xLight, a U.S.-based startup developing an EUV light source based on a particle accelerator, on Tuesday signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with the U.S. Department of Commerce for $150 million in proposed federal incentives under the CHIPS and Science Act. xLight came out of the blue earlier this year when it hired Pat Gelsinger, former chief executive of Intel, as executive chairman. The money, if awarded, will be used to bring xLight's free-electron laser (FEL) based light source closer to reality once it is built in Albany and its viability is proven in practice.

The app dev teams have no time to work with the constant daily sprint calls, Jira, and other associated things. There is a team that supervises agile and Jira at high pay to pound you into compliance. It is so bad that we had to increase our sizing by 20% just to cover the overhead.

Five years in, and I’ve yet to meet a technical leader who actually knows the tech. Most hide behind buzzwords and slides, playing politics instead of doing real work or learning anything new. How can people like that lead development—and how has senior management not figured this out?

I have an idea, why not run off more high quality developers and let AI do the work. I mean its worked out well so far.

And it su-ks

Instead of developing people or rewarding effort, they just keep piling on more responsibility and calling it “growth.” No new title, no raise, no acknowledgment. You end up doing the work of two jobs while being treated like you should be grateful for the opportunity.

I was hired as a software engineer…….

But now I’m being asked to do work that has nothing to do with the JD…….

I genuinely don’t know what to do. It barely feels real like who hires you for a full stack python software developer and then suddenly tells you to do data engineering work instead

Do I start looking for another job, or do I just su-k it up and move to another department ? Or is this just a company-wide bait-and-switch hiring practice?

As long as you offshore development and onshore cheap labor you are going to continue to have outages.

Is this true. G2 said it would be available in September or October. It worked so good on the release demo.

So, after doing some cloud/DevOps/Python nonsense, my mission at Intel is over. I think I’ve been getting the usual market compensation, but now, for economic reasons, I have to leave—no hard feelings about that.

Out of pure curiosity, I browsed open roles at Intel, and what caught my attention was an NPU Compiler Developer C++ role at grade 7. Really? Most people I know have much higher pay grades, and honestly, they could clean the shoes of compiler developers.

I’m not claiming to be smarter than the CEO, but to me, this looks like a clear sign Intel’s finally tanking.
