He has mandated using InfoSys for developer consulting here at FHEG to "save costs". The developers at InfoSys are completely incompetent (they lack basic understanding of general tools developers use). I'm afraid of the future if they stay on for much longer.

Maybe arrogant development IT doesn't work very hard. Note that I am excluding CNS as they are always available around the clock to assist.
Name an accomplishment of SS or in fact the whole leadership. Thats right, SS ordered and we all got new Lenovo notebooks instead of the Dell I7 notebooks we already had that were working fine. Other leadership you got Retalon, Dominican Republic and on and on. The only thing this leadership has done is layoff many people to lower cost and drive a bonus for them, and destroy the morale of many good people.
SS is light years better than the leadership we had before. Cmon, you guys are forgetting how the last leadership did absolutely nothing unless it was a HUGE fire or the competition beat us to it
SS makes things happen which is very refreshing
HEY 71847, you dumb luddite. It's 2015 most people have high speed internet in their homes. it's just as easy to work from home as it is in the office. Come on and join the 21st century, it's great.
Maybe the consultants all start late.
I second the arrogant comment. Also, how come floor 7 and 10 are a ghost town at 5pm, except for the consultants.
I second the 'insane demands' comment.
@71373 - you must not be working with the right group then. Sure there are arrogant developers in the department, but the majority of us want the business to succeed. The problem we face is when the business decides they know how to do or job and give us technical details that don't make any sense. Then they make insane demands as far as deadlines. There is definitely a disconnect between us and you guys. But I can assure you, we are not the problem.
One project Johnny! Nice bandwidth
I have been on the business for a number of years and working with consultants is a breath of fresh air. They are responsive, polite and sincerely want to help me do my job. Dramatic change from internal who are arrogant and road blocks. Both sides could attend a few programming classes but technically they are comparable.
some consultants do a good job, some do not. The problem is that we are hiring consultants based on cost, not performance.
All consultants are not the same. Before the mandate, we previously used Clarity for critical projects and they delivered quality and accurate work, they were excellent.
I agree. You get what you pay for and for the past two years we have seen the result. Just like many other companies, this will move back in house once management is replaced.
I would restate as bargain labor = GIGO
What you talkin about! Your probably right, same old shit, but at a third of the cost. How is that obsolete ORPOS working out for you after many, many millions of dollars. He should actually be promoted soon.
If you think you know something about the quality of work simply because of where the plant is located, you're prejudiced. You are the definition of prejudiced. Good work can be done by good vendors anywhere in the world. Poor vendors do poor anywhere in the world. It is the poor work that should piss you off, not where the work is done.
Can't be any worse then the sloppy work done in the past
It's not racism to point out the people we are outsourcing to aren't able to perform the work to standards. The sloppy work performed will destroy our company because the customers are going to recognize shoddy work and quit buying from us.
The problem with Follett isn't employees' racism or "favoring minorities unless they are subservient". It's that management has forgotten that our customers got us to where we are today. They've decided its better to cut financial costs instead of building a good product our customers will enjoy using. SS's only role is to save the company money. I'm not sure who I should be more upset with, this guy who is destroying our name, or whoever put him in charge. Britten should be kicking ass and getting rid of these schleps, not tweeting about her damn TV network.
70374, racist pig! That's the problem with Follett, not favoring minorities unless they are subservient. Even still it doesn't matter for they have an inbred nature to believe they are superior.
3rd world labor = 3rd world quality. Enjoy your bargain
