We all know that big tech is laying off in 1000s, but did anybody ask why did they over hire in the first place? a billionaire commented that the engineers who got fired were doing fake work. One of the reason this happened because they got rid of Scrum Masters and agile coaches. The devs felt lost as nobody was talking to them and coaching them, the scrum ceremonies became rituals and the management lost the feedback mechanism. The TPMs do not know what it takes to be a coach, the teams stopped improving and they thought if we add more resources things will get better. C1 is following the failed model of big tech and laid off ADLs, the teams are already suffering and soon the productivity will go down. Scrum Masters and coaches ensures that resources are utilized to their fullest potential, they are like lubricants that make the vehicle running and if absent the there is friction and the vehicle starts falling apart. The laid off ADLs will find jobs sooner or latter but it will be C1 which will suffer in the long term.

100% with the DNA test. too many Indians and Chinese. What happened to DIB? Should the company hire more black and latino engineers?
I think the background checks have to be every year and those that have criminal findings not reported in the last year, will have to repay all past wages from the time they were convicted until the last background check.
I agree with @1hcr+1lMHloL2 on the last post below. Especially about requiring DNA tests to verify if there are any incestuous nepotism going on, inbreeding is bad for the gene pool. And i suspect that is a cause of many problems at c1.
- Hire technologists, not clerk's.
- Stop stack ranking which is easily manipulated by BSers , old timers and cliques.
- For Director and above, run a background check every 2 years ( to catch dr-g usage and DUI/DWI) before it affects their judgement.
- Ask hiring managers to submit their DNA relative's tree from 23&me to see if they are hiring their own close relatives (jk-ing but it's an issue too).
