@XiZnXwN-2snl is correct. The IT CIO no longer has a seat at the big table and will probably bail in the near future to be replaced by the Network IT leader.

@2klm To this company IT isn't a core function, it's just a cost center to be squeezed.

This is truth.

And since IT used to be the major source of labor for striking union members, it also tells you there will never again be a strike. Settling the contract a year early was the first ominous sign of many more things to come.

They'll outsource as much as legal will permit, replace everything they can with cloud services, push all development into SOWs, and everything that HAS to be retained will be done by the lowest caliber of worker possible. There will be almost no permanent employees, everybody else will be rented from body shops, "service" companies, or somehow temporary in one form or another. They'll try to cram job functions down to a spec in a contact so expect gridlock.

It's basically the same trajectory, just further down the time line. To this company IT isn't a core function, it's just a cost center to be squeezed.

Maybe Infosys could also handle Verizon executive leadership? Why pay a Verizon executive $15 million/year? An Infosys employee could handle the job for $23,000/year without health insurance.

Why do trolls so often introduce an inane topic as an OP and, upon seeing no traction, or in an attempt to build the illision of fake consensus, start to answer their own posit, @wos?

@wos,

1) Never feed a troll after he’s posted.

2) Never expose a troll to the bright light of logic.

3) Don’t ever get the troll wet.

what do you want to know. we'll be outsourcing more. they do not see IT as a core competency, this means "give it to vendors"
