A customer even posted here complaining about the products sucking.
You should all realize, collectively, that you did a poor job.
Unfortunately many kiss a-s managers and directors got to keep their cushy jobs.
And this is not to say that offshore development will fix things, they will likely make it worse and/or quit because they sick of dealing with the code base you left them.
My product is great.
Folks, do some of us have to label people here whose views we don't agree with as being "stupid" or "imbeciles"? Have things become so bad at TR that some people cannot show a minimum of respect towards others?
Some of you are really stupid..
The OP is spot on here... and yes, id--tic directors and managers are part of the problem.
Nepotism is a huge problem at TR.
@OP+1drUEjNo You're on to it! You're obviously so knowledgeable about TR's declining product quality and the reasons for this decline then perhaps you could also answer the following:
Why did so "many kiss a-s managers and directors get to keep their cushy jobs " from 2018 to 2021 when so many of the lower level workers lost their jobs?
Why is it that lower level employees always seem to take the blame for poor product quality? Surely, it the job of managers to keep product quality at a high level and to supervise the production process?
It's been alleged in some of these pages that managers in the past were paid a bonus for RIFing some of their direct reports. If this allegation is true, then why would that be when surely RIFing some of their direct reports would be part of the job they are paid to do?
You people.
The products had been in decline for years due to poor engineering, you are just too stupid to see it.
A couple of points here. First, the decline in product standards are a direct result of management decisions - not the people on the floor working on these products. If you severely cut resources and RIF those with institutional knowledge of those products this is what happens. Second, customers are the ones who ultimately suffer here. Ask yourself whether it’s fair they pay top dollar for products that have suffered a decline in quality? They are not going to put up with this for too long. Management should remember here that ultimately it’s customers who pay their salaries and bonuses.
@qpr+1drUEjNo what's up on this board with imbeciles calling everyone they don't agree with an "HR"?
hehe look at all the minions rushing to defend the code quality of the products. It's pathethic. OP you're 100% correct.
Get your facts straight before you post. When the focus is on transferring work from the destination where the VAST MAJORITY of the customers are, to destinations that offer the very cheapest labor sources, all to make short term profits, is just one example of the collective short-term executive bonus-centric attitude of the top layers making the critical decisions. This has been going on for years now. The current problems are a result of year over year short-term strategies to drive up short-term profits, rather than consider longer-term horizons. The current mgmt is doing nothing different except accelerating it.
The low-cost labor staff understands that what's going on. They aren't stupid. They know they receive a fraction of the salaries they're replacing. All they have to do is a good enough job until they find the next one that pays better and then they're gone too. Why not? If the job can be moved to an even cheaper destination, their jobs are gone too.
I don't care where you are located. When a company sells a product that requires people to actually think when making the product, and the company treats those people like they are unimportant interchangeable components, then don't be surprised when people do the very least amount of acceptable work to finish a task and then jump to the next best offer.
What do you do for fun when you're not doing HR stuff, OP?
It's difficult to respond to a post that is so monumentally incorrect. You got it exactly wrong. The major reason for loss of product quality is laying off so many experienced employees, leaving a skeleton crew over-burdened with just getting the products out. Blaming the remaining employees who are doing their best with so little support from management and so few remaining colleagues to share the workload is unfair and just makes no sense.
