Had to see this coming.

I was laid off years ago from a different company and felt like I did something wrong,
but it wasn't me it was a company much more dysfunctional than CMCSA.
This was not your fault.

However...
Some observations from a former national engineer who lead a team that built a system intended for divisional and DCF usage;

Other national and 2 of 3 divisional teams HAD to build their own instead of collaborating with national and all divisions.. e.g. Power hungry.
Upper management permitted this to happen. Heck, the west pretty much encouraged it.
DCF rolled out new systems with poor naming strategies and a ~70% ability to match names in existing systems.
Cable is dying !! And Brian Roberts has realized that the monopoly is over and hired a co-CEO since the next 10 years will determine if CMCSA survives.

Point is, we had too many people building the same system(s) and management let it happen. Upper management was all about power and not about cooperating.

I have long said that Comcast must be strategizing to keep and encourage duplicate names & accounts in the system. I worked for a utility company years ago, and you had to prove your identity. Businesses would only be allowed to use the name that is registered with the Secretary of State website. Yet, there are so many additional accounts and revenue lost from this. I personally have felt it was to boost the sales side to make it look like they were getting more customers than they were. But that is just speculation, of course ;)

@a5 from design and as-built stage it’s an absolute mess. They will never all “learn” from each other in the 3 regions

@a5 EXACTLY !!!!!

We could have learned from the divisions or other Elad groups but their management needed control.
