Of course this is just another way to erode morale and save another nickel for executive bonuses. The new dependent verification requiries a birth or marriage certificate to be uploaded into the cloud for verification. Given the recent hacks, maybe we should just send a copy to China or Facebook so they can save some bandwidth. I have less than zero faith that these documents will be kept secure of deleted after verification. Of course this is just another way to erode morale and save another nickel for executive bonuses.
It's interesting to attend all-hands meetings where execs claim there's a lot of room for growth, and that they really need people to stay and get with the new program. Then their actions show total disregard for those same employees.
At the beginning of the HPE/CSC merger, management talked about how excited they were to be the only "Pure Play Global Services Provider" or some such rot. During the meetings, people were cheering, posts were done on how excited the employees were to be put in such a dominant positions. I was horrified. We can see how that works out for employees. No way to stem the financial bleeding with other cyclical businesses picking up the slack, except to fire, fire, fire employees. Keep this in mind when they describe how great being a "Pure play AWS reseller" works for out us. It probably will be good if you have no other skills and make the minimum wage. Those of us with skills and a higher salary are toast.
Another failure in leadership. There's one exec I trust to give the real story with minimal spin. I hesitate to mention their name, so they dont get on ML's next hit list. Watch what they do, not what they say.
