Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

Don't get me started. 10 years ago it was the wild west, devs committing to the dev branch and breaking the build daily. While that did indeed suck, we have strike systems in place if you do that today. Not to mention all the scripts, test cases and peer reviews we have to do. I spend far more time on the red tape than I do delivering the actual work. How many test-cases or automation scripts get run after the initial commit? All that work just to check a box. Toggles (request, waiting on implementation), endless JIRA sub-tasks and test cases/automation/QA scripts (all in different systems). I can't do my job because of .......my job.

Agree on tech. The job cannot be efficient nor fun anymore.

The only efficiency "metric" that they are interested in is profit divided by headcount.

Be more efficient so we can outsource your 401k peons!!!

Thatz so Chuckie Pucky and his circle of Clowns can get bigger bonuses and stock options.

If we got rid of the asset cap, a lot of these thoughts will dissipate or at least reduce the urgency. The asset cap and consent order just exposed these items

too many intake requests and folks making excuses not to deliver

So much inefficiency in my job is caused by others upstream not completing their required processes & procedures. So when it gets to me, I have to correct all the prior mistakes, corner cutting etc. Of course if there is any error on the file, I am held accountable on my quality and no one else is disciplined so it will never change because everyone know that's just how it works. If the company would hold all roles accountable for accurately completing their job functions, that would cut a lot of the waste, duplicate/triplicate work being done overnight.

Just look at the ocean of red tape we deal with in tech. These processes and sub tasks are f-kin insane.
Everyone is locked into very specific duties and handcuffed… efficiency plans won’t work at least in tech.
