CX is a mess. At a happy hiur half the leaders were talking about headhunters and moving on.

I think a lot of people care. And given the expectation of IT modernization we need more talent and not less. The treatment of these directors is coming out as they depart in droves. When the exec leadership was chosen in vivify people were skeptical but open minded. However now it is clear that their is a small inner circle that is passive aggressive and real IT lleadership is being constantly ignored based off what knowledge was learned at outside orgs. Emperor has no clothes. Bring back the execs from before.

The exodus continues with one of the brightest today. I am sure we wikl say internally it was no big loss but amongst us Tech folks. Inexcusable. Would love to see the metter he wrote about our leadership. I am sure that will be butied. Following up on the earlier post i am hearing people are gearing up.

Dude tech people change all the time. You stay if you are probably are going for pension at 55 and have like 10 -15 years with the company and are grandfathered in for benefits package. There are a ton of computer science grads who can’t find jobs and add in crippling student loan debt. They need a job ASAP!,,

It’s a simple formula, most companies pay for senior dev talent.

Then cherry pick new computer science grads who submit 500 applications with no interviews. Find a few groom them into senior devs and one or two stay.

Rinse and repeat. It’s not rocket science.

State Farm and other companies will survive and thrive just fine

Just let me know when the key instigator of this mess goes back to seattle (if he can even get a job). I will toast at that point.

Management and Directors are clueless about what they really implementing and just get raised and promotions for putting in cr-p they don't even know what it does it how it works. It's too bad. Brains are not at the leadership level its clear and It's clear all the sales folks for the out of the box systems know that - a shame but great for the third parties involved.

This is the year known as the “Great Resignation.” Every business is faced with this-a component of the lousy service everywhere.

We will see a lot more talent leave. A lack of trust of our sr exec and his skills.

Working from home full time. I noticed a lot of postings looking for hard to fill talent recruiting lately. Hard to fill is professional term for desperation.

An an increase in full remote jobs has intensified competition for talent, particularly in IT. State Farm can no longer a
assume they are the only game in town for Bloomington employees. And for new hires there's no pension to encourage longevity.

Of course they are not concerned. As far as they see it, it just means more work for the newbies.
