What a bloodbath. Was told over 4000 and closer to 5000 between NG and Allstate over the next three days.
Is this true?

@bg Whilst I get your sentiment. No one in Allstate IT thought OBD was a good idea outside of the "leaders" pushing it, the sycophants and the bullsh-tters. It's has been a recipe for disaster after disaster and outage after outage. They laid off any leader who spoke against it or was perceived to be a threat to Z&K.
However the OBD chickens are well and truly coming home to roost now, after 3 years of id--ts drawing murals and excluding SMEs. The problem is they've laid off most of the people who could've fixed the mess they've made. So it's going to get a lot worse and I cannot see it getting better.
@av OBD ensures that technology can always blame the business for failures while claiming credit for the wins.
OBD is horrible
Yes we lost half of our support team.
@a2 That's why their stuff still works.
@a2 We were all supposed to transition to OBD, but they decided to transition some and just released all of the service teams. NatGen was waterfall but in the process of changing over. This layoff took out pretty much all the worker bees.
Not surprised about NG tbh. Aren't they still working with Waterfall in a lot of their teams?
Doubt it is that many but a significant number to be sure.
