Thread regarding CVS layoffs

WTH did tilak say today?

How does product work with PMO. He didn't understand the question. I didn't understand his dribble. We r agile .. yeah who cares. We need to do better.

tilak needs to go. His super app stinks. Recording hours in Clarity is a joke. If you can't get hours you just borrow from something else. Totally useless and pointless.

lol he was a contractor. The speaking skills and intelligence will remain in that range. Unfortunate reality of the leadership at CVS!

400 colleagues were brought on a call which had no clear Agenda.
For the first 20 mins no one knew what was happening. Is Tilak resigning or is he firing all of us, it was that bad.
Someone please train the leaders to be more concise on responding to QnA
The so called leaders are leading from their c suite not knowing the ground realities .

Be agile? Who can I charge hours to in order to learn what this means? Can anyone provide ITPR?

It's the stupidest thing ever. Basically have the company charge itself for IT infrastructure and applications.
So if they don't pay, the coding doesn't get done? Or do we overestimate cost and hours or just be noncompliant to CMS .

Hey we need this data value added to the project as a requirement.
Ok that's going to cost money
Don't have that in budget
Ok without funding I can't do it
But CMS requires...

It's either they want cheaper labor or fines...
Nothing good can come from this.

100% charging hours to Clarity is a contradiction to Agile.

SherK is that you downvoting from 2 different computers? lol

Life at CVS IT In summary:
Leader: "We are Agile"
Other Leader: "Do nothing without hours"
Another Leader: "Not getting work done without hours or funding is no excuse"
Peers that owns a task needed to complete my work: "No can do, I have no hours"
Me: "goes home and drinks bourbon until I throw-up"

  • Rinse and repeat next day -

Charging time like contractors is insulting.

The first question I get from people is ‘where can I charge my time in Clarity’. This is not agile.

There is nothing agile about CVS - just dump your work on another team if you don't want to do it

It doesn't work if even one person does not follow it. It is a mindset.

Agile is not working well in my department. Everyone is doing their own thing. No communication,..
