I heard there were a lot of EOIs in IT. Perhaps in the 100s for this wave of Imagine IT (North America, UK etc). However the BU IT such as MCBU and GOM seem to have seen very light cuts. Very few folks left standing. This does not seem to fit with the messaging from our CIO and others.
They went our of their way to warn us and now it seems like a non-event.
What is going on? Any insight?
glad to have a job and all, but IT is so screwed up that half the people don't know who their supervisors are. they are still taking their sweet time to implement "the operating mode" that nobody understands.
yea, we get it. do away with silos and hierarchies. be agile. but it's one thing to say those things, and it's another to appear completely unprepared and a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off. how many are you people in chapters actually have had your new organization reach out to you and show that they actually kind of know what they're doing? or are you just getting invited to platform teams that are 25% filled. we got a "team" of random 3 people with 7-10 unfilled positions expecting to deliver. I guess it is 2020, and it is a dumpster fire. nothing should surprise us.
ABU IT got Hitnhard last week.
To the previous poster...f— you. Show some sympathy. You may not understand what those individuals do, but they’re people...with real jobs. Don’t undervalue that.
@2fky and @2ohu are probably some ES losers still wishing that their pet projects with Google were still going on even though nobody found any value in them. Google Cloud is not a cost effective solution, and they also have lost the cloud battle in the industry and then made up some bogus reason about how they don't want to create solutions for the industry anymore while continuing to call our decision makers for more business. Take a look around. All the service companies and key operators have shifted over to Azure. Even Schlumberger who started out with Google is jumping ship and going to Microsoft because their DELFI platform did not work on Google.
And the NADC was not $2B. The contract with Microsoft is also not 15 years. But good try making up numbers. Maybe you should just go work for Google now that you've been laid off from round 4.
Google Cloud was not in the play because we had to unload Louie Elrich f— up of a 2 Billion Data Center in San Antonio. Everyone was going to cloud where Luie was building a DC, WTF? We had to trade that for pennies on dollar to Microsoft. We gonna be MS wh–e for 15 years now, contractually. There you have it
Better question for CIO is why Google Cloud (cost effective solution) was not considered in the bid for cloud services that azure won and why was purchase of cvx san Antonio data center a criteria for selecting the cloud provider.
Houston IT and I was cut. I honestly feel free, multiple ROMs during my tenure were just exhausting.
A little over 1000 of the 4000 IT worldwide. 500 or more jobs not filled
Well they are all doing "digital" things and utilizing "agile" ways.
Too many IT people in the offices, last time I saw there were 4 sitting in one office, 2 in each cubicle and all the offices/cubicles were full. People were working in break-rooms, conference rooms and huddle rooms because they did not have a place to work. Not sure what is going on with IT and who is paying for the projects. Seems seer madness !
