Thread regarding Allscripts layoffs

The real ones that are suffering are the Clients. They were sold something That isn’t reliable and now we are not even taking care of them. They are in a really tough spot financially.

History has a scary way of repeating itself. I heard these same conversations with the TechBubble crash in 2002. IBM lays off x hundred consultants. Oracle RIFs x hundred staffers. It’s sad but comical. Same clowns reappear in different companies promising to turn it around. Remember the days of the May Report or SecretCompanyMemos.com? I can’t wait to read the rumors on this one going into Q4. LK and PB do us all a favor. Resign. Take your $$$ and find some other company overseas to wreck. Take your E&Y buddies with you.

@1gxw+152wNFyC: of course they do.

This is concerning, I just found this site. Question, do you know if they plan to sunset Paragon financials or revenue cycle?

It sounds a lot like the movie "Office Space". To bad in this case it's reality and not a comedy. So, sad.

Exit low performers. With all the cuts over the years there shouldnt be any left. Oops i forgot about India

Where can I find the recording?

Thanks. That must have been when I stepped into the kitchen to make breakfast. Was listening to some degree but was not watching the screen. I just went back to the recording and found the slide you were referring to. Crazy. Maybe theyre hoping that by showing us that slide we'll get the hint and thatll help their voluntary attrition point of action.

Madame Magnanimous: thank you.

I snipped the slide, she just put it up there and didn't even mention any of its contents. WhAt a complete POS

Consultants. What a racket.

The key to being a well-paid consultant? Keep a set of generic PowerPoint slides. For each new client, slap in a couple of corporate-specifc graphics. For each division within the company, modify the template with specific division name, leadership hierarchy, etc.

During the Analysis phase, our consultants go out to multiple lunches and dinners with C-Suite executives to learn about their unique corporate business model, how s-crewed their finances are and who their biggest investors are. They spend the rest of the evening sampling the local strip club pole dance talent and drinking top end whiskeys. Wash, rinse, repeat for at least two weeks just to make it look good.

They will then present C-Suite with the recommended path forward. This includes intimidating and terrifying current staff so that they don't complain about all the work being dropped on them, forcing some into choosing early retirement in order to make sure they don't die from a heart attack or self-inflicted guns#ot wound, and having others groom offshore Jimmy and Johnny so that they can eventually take credit for products American workers have put their blood sweat and tears into for years.

Secondary recommendations must include the development of corporate policies requiring associates to sit at desks that reinforce the employee sense of worthlessness. Surround them with loud mouths with no social skills to make their time at the office even more hellish. Force associates to attend meetings where they are treated like pre-schoolers by yet another corporate cheer leader exchanging the little remaining self-respect she might have for more MIPS. Please pass the finger paints.

Recommendations complete, our consultants then collect their newly printed check with six figures on their way out the door. On their way to the next client, they prepare their PowerPoint presentation templates once again. Same problems. Same solutions. And never once do they happen to point out that the real problem is in the C-Suite itself.

After all, you never bite the hand that feeds you.

It was one of the slides in the town hall meeting, 10 options ranked by least manageable to most manageable.

I was on the all hands call today and didnt hear any of this. Did you infer this info from today's call or were you in another meeting with her?

Voluntary attrition? I will love it!
