Agile TSA and C2E will lead to layoffs. Think about the purpose of these 2 disastrous initiatives. It is to lower the cost of pre-sales engineering resources while paying senior engineering leadership bigger paychecks. That is the only reason that these exist. It is NOT “to meet the customers where they are.” That is such a spin by leadership to sell this and our customers want customer intimacy not a potluck pool approach for engagement.
There is lower pay and no career path with these 2 initiatives. Ask your senior leadership about career path and they have no answer cause there is no answer. That is not their objective. Their objective is to reduce the cost of pre-sales engineering resources.
Since customers do NOT want this type of engagement and are going to the competition to get real customer intimacy, these 2 disastrous initiatives will continue lead to noticeable loss of business and in-turn layoffs in the SA and TSA ranks cause the goal is still the same which is to reduce the cost of pre-sales engineering resources whether that be SAs or TSAs.
