Or should I say "Digital." Longer to deliver on requests, always needing to submit tickets to get answers on anything. Contractors everywhere. Seems (and feels) like a mess, especially since the rename/re-org. What gives?

Travel to worthless User Conferences where they learn new buzzwords to expand their lexicon of gibberish. Some of these people are next to impossible to understand with the use of their corporate speak. I sometimes believe that so much is lost in translation that SAFe Agile was put into place by accident; someone misinterpreted Ehren townhall about Safe Spaces into putting a completely worthless software project philosophy into IT Project Management. 75% of people are less effective and get less done, the remaining 25% are just MPC drones that do and say whatever it takes to move up.
Our IT department leaders just travel the world to go to conferences to talk about the things we should actually be doing but aren't. How about we do these things first, then you can talk about it?
Hip-hip-hooray! It is a headache! Maryann and her golden boy team are probably following the advice of newly minted, grossly overpaid McKinsey & Company MBA’s who are here today and gone tomorrow. You see, these smug MBA types will not be accountable for their silly recommendations 5, 10, 15 or 20 years down the line. Further, Maryann and most of her golden boys will be pensioned off in Florida, Tennessee, or Texas.
Marathon no longer values employing company IT professionals even in times of enormous profits because they prioritize shareholder and executive payouts versus developing career IT professionals that can help lead and sustain long-term growth. In other words, this type of financialization provides no value to IT professionals, our company's success, or local Marathon communities. Yes, it's a mess.
