Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

While stabbing us in the back, Saul brags and takes credit to the press

Look at this hypocrite..... bragging to the press about how working remote is great, in the mean time he's screwing us by pushing the hub plan.

You will be amazed at how many people can do their work from home. I was amazed myself to see that — because everything that can be typed on a command line, any type of execution command that a developer or an engineer needs to do can be done through a computer with remote access from home instead of sitting in the office. There are only a few critical jobs that require a presence, such as in the data center and a few field support people for folks who have issues with a phone, an iPad or a laptop.

I hope someone shoves that back in his face at hub time....

"HIs compensation must be buzz-word based. "

All of Wells senior management falls into this category.

I've never worked anywhere with so many exec's sending out so many words that have so little meaning.

I think they all compete to see how many times they can each get their picture on the homepage.

They are wasting time on Agile. The original SDLC, systems development life cycle is the way to go.
Must gather requirements, design, develop, test and promote to production. Agile is like "well let's just skip out on a few necessary steps and push it through more quickly". That will not work in the long run.

Saul is good in not forcing office employees to come back to the office where just one office employee with corona virus could cause the entire building's employees to become infected as well (like the meat packing plants).

Saul is a Narcissist. He is inconsistent and often incoherent. He does not offer original thoughts or grand strategy. His skill is manipulating people and collecting what I assume in a hefty paycheck. HIs compensation must be buzz-word based.

Make post readable. On the last AMA with Chris G he said Agile doesn't apply to every team at the bank, they know that.

We should all probably get to know Agile (it's not really anything new other than some buzzwords), but if you are not a developer, you probably won't be in any scrums anytime soon.

And if you are a developer, just roll with it, this year it will be Agile, next year it will be something else, you code away like always.

I for one am totally insulted by all of his going on and on in meetings about how we can't be productive work effectively and are not efficient if we're all working remotely and not co-located in an agile like fashion. We aren't a bunch of robots and it's not cookie cutter. While it may make sense to have some teams that work scrum and design be together in some sense it certainly doesn't matter for the majority of us that aren't on scrum development teams. In many people have been working remotely for years and none of us have skipped a beat. Just look at how fat fast are teams reacted to the covid-19 response with our systems and online offerings. I would love to call him on it in one of the all hands.
