@1w0 getting rid of three and have one do their job
@1w0 if they’re serious about turning the ship around then they will cull the underperforming staff at the start of 2026 wasting no time

They might as well close the Helpdesk, ServiceDesk, and Operations and replace with AI bots. They are basically human AI bots. If their data bank doesn't have an answer they can read, they cannot come up with solutions on their own. I have problems with my work computer, but who do I call? This slows me down as I have to try and troubleshoot things on my own and reboot a lot. I wish they would give us local admin on our machines.
I pray to God I am working somewhere else next year. I plan on transferring my 401k elsewhere when possible.
