Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

Blazing into the Future with Older Tech

So now we're keeping our network equipment longer. Okay ... so we march forward with older networking equipment. Wow! What bean counter figured that one out. Okee Dokee ... Kids, can you say, "Colonial Pipeline Hack?" Can you say, "Vulnerability?" Can't wait for Congress to get their oversight committees on this one ...

I think we are boldly going where no bank has gone before ... into the abys of stupidity ...

For Pete Sake! This is what we've come to ... you don't need two lungs or two kidneys ...

Dear Next CEO ... I wish you all the best upgrading the infrastructure after the next hack attack.

Company bean counters everywhere don’t understand that technology is an investment so they treat it as an expense. Who runs this company? You got it - bean counters. You are a bean too, BTW, which is why they will lay you off without a second though no matter how long you have been here or what you accomplished.

@oho. Even more so if they move things to the cloud.

@1mtt+1b1K5dzR. It isn't going slowly. There is just a massive amount of work to do. Some of the data transfers alone were taking multiple weeks.

The infrastructure has to be built in the cloud. The apps tested before moving over.

Other apps aren't browser based but are thick clients that need to be rewritten.

why is going to the cloud so slow? They should hire qualified experienced cloud Architects, engineers, etc and get rid of the rest of the useless IT/arch/engineering dept here

Why would they upgrade the infrastructure now when most of it will be in the cloud in the next 2-3 years?

No one here, who has to work with our systems on a daily basis, can disagree with OP’s headline.

You don’t know what you are talking about. Pretty much everything as we know it is changing.

Wells Fargo definitely vulnerable to a hack. Especially as we increase offshoring to third world countries. That’s going to be one that for the books when that happens. Aside from that, I’m pretty sure my 13 year old niece and her friends could get in.

OP, you realize that network vendors continue to support their products after 3 years right? Vulnerability Patching will continue just as it does now.

Would you be willing to be laid off to pay for the new networking equipment?
