Tick Tick Tick

Nine months and counting .... another week and still no announcements or communications regarding anything from TS. No process announcements or people, rumor is we'll adopt TS shit, yea like that was working.

This crap is going to blow up in the most spectacular fashion we've ever seen.

 

July 8th, another week, no announcements. Tick tick .....

 

Still waiting!!!!!!!!

With the talc judgment assume cuts will be deeper

 

July 16th, another week, no announcements. Tick tick .....

 

Cuts to ITS area - about 225 ppl in 3-4 weeks

SDDC - 2 + 1 director
App Support - 4 + 2 directors
network engg - 2 + 2 directors
security - 18 + 2 directors
storage - 2 + 1 director + 1 VP
network ops - 3 + 1 director
desktop - several

 

Too generic to be useful. You're double counting same teams.

 

I'm at a remote site, these have occurred, been announced or speculation? Hard to image 225 people let go and we haven't heard.

 

John Linskey - good for nothing VP fired due to Credo Violations. Ran AS Support org like a mafia and forced business to be awarded to one consulting firm big time. Hope his cronies meet the same fate.

 

It was Dan and Steve who picked the cronies for support contract

 

Why Marin Landy was fired, heard that he was escorted out by security and it was not a pleasant scene

 

Well didnt they just communicate the new support vendor choices? Does that mean they will redo the RFP or will we be stuck with those bad decisions until the end of time?


I thought landy was going to be in charge of a lot going forward. What happens to his team?

 

Support will transition to new vendors in a new operating model, all TS Support Employees will have to reapply for job after transition is completed (which is slated to complete by end of Q3)... this was announced today in Support Townhall

 

There's a support town hall? Interesting

So the new vendors and new operating model will or wont be the ones which were picked from that wrongdoing? Shouldnt they do the RFP over again or at least the selection process?

 

Why haven't they touched Steve if he was involved?

 

RFP outcome will not change, Dan and mark had other big problems like EDG (Enterprise Data Grid) Fiasco to answer ... Steve Sorensen has lot of backing including Steve Wrenn ... All of these folks needs to go if IT has to be rescued from complete disaster ... the biggest question is when Stuart will go

 

What org / group is considered support?

 

Support here means Linskey's group. Also to provide a little clarity. Linskey was around when the RFP was drafted but was not involved in the selection from my understanding as he was out during the review periods. GTS acquiring AS was a ZELEM grab maybe that should be re-visited too.

 

What went wrong with the EDG project? Someone fill me in?

 

It takes less words to say what went right: Nothing.

 

well said - this piece of shit got nothing done, it was pipe dream of one man that we all know.
