I used to work on the One Talk testing team, and the current complaints on this forum are 100% accurate. The product is incredibly buggy because the testing management layer is completely non-technical and acts as a club for friends and personal connections.
Why is upper management blind to how many manual and automation resources are being wasted here? Throwing bodies at a problem under the same bad managers won't fix a broken release pipeline.
We have great, competent managers on other teams in this company. Just shuffle the people and move One Talk testing under a different, objective engineering leader who actually understands quality. The product will instantly get better.

Finally heard they are Laying of People from VBG and Tpd …One talk Team part of it ..Heard some AD and SD will be laid off..
@CN..👏👏 atleast few people still appreciate hardwork over a--kissing
@ch Such a valuable skill for so many that I too am lacking. And I would proudly accept a layoff or termination if that skill was a requirement. It would be even better if it was clearly mentioned in the job description to save everyone a lot of hassle.
I was reading a post about a discussion, and I wanted to share my own experience. I used to work with the device testing team, and I have to say, the manager was terrible. He only kept his friends around, the ones who constantly praised him and socialized with him. Meanwhile, I was let go without any warning. It was a tough time for me, and I realized that I lacked the skill of, well, let's just say "a-s-kissing."
When they lose their jobs due to favoritism towards their friends and management, then this post will be more relevant to them.
It's all cause and effect. You are free to ignore any post where you can't see it.
The Cause: Poor management affects the team which affects the products which affects the department which affects the org which affects the company which affects the customers which affects the stock price which affects the board members which affects the CEO which affects what the next action plan will be to fix it.
The Effect: Future layoffs which affects stock price which affects the board members which affects the CEO by substantially increasing the size of their bank accounts.
@ba Because, whatever one talk is , the people there don't want to get laid off because their department is poorly managed.
@ba Lets see, health of products 👉 affects health of dept 👉 affects health of company 👉 affects health of stock price 👉 affects health of board 👉 affects health of CEO 👉 affects future layoffs.
Still don't know what one talk is but I am guessing they don't wanna get laid off because their product is poorly managed.
Not sure how that one got by you.
@OP how does this affect or relate layoffs which is the sole purpose of this website?
