Thread regarding Gainwell Technologies layoffs

State gets the Codebase

Well, I've seen it all now. The customer had the rights to the code, so the account is losing it up to their Git host.

Now, the real shenanigans will start. I can't believe this was allowed to happen. I miss my EDS days, customer owned the data, EDS owned the code.

The State is going to use this against us. I don't like this at all. What special flower allowed this to happen? Probably one of those new banker managers. I'm just shaking my head & rolling my eyes.

Why is everyone so concerned about what state it is?

It’s almost a guarantee that it’s coming to a state near you.

@bb I don't know about the OP, but the relationship at the state where I'm at is very adversarial - the state doesn't seem to want us here & that's why I'm here until I retire in the next couple yrs. I'm just doing time until that day - just enough / nothing more.

Exactly what are they going to do with a code base that is poorly documented. The people that built it are long gone. Good luck trying to recreate the firewall rules.

Ruh-roh!! Wonder how many states have this clause in their contracts...

@bf More states are going to fire Gainwell. They are dropping business faster than they are gaining it.

It’s a sinking ship.

Sounds like your state client is thinking of firing Gainwell. Or maybe they just want to audit the codebase.

My understanding was the customer owned the entire system even in the EDS days. Might have varied by State.

What are you worried about?

“The state is going to use this against us”

Really? Doesn’t Gainwell fork for the state?

Why do you have the “us” vs “them” mentality?

Has Gainwell made you a poor employee?
