T-Life is a complete cluster. It’s amazing that any work on that app gets it done. It’s all baling wire and duct tape on the back end. The left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing.
Approximately 500 NTW from Kevin Lau’s Org are gone tomorrow. A large part of those I’ve been supporting T-Life. Management is going to continue to push these impossible timelines with fewer people. What does that mean? Seven days a week probably at least 12 hours a day, people will be working. Jeff Simon , Kevin Lau, Senthil Velusamy,& Stef Shirey do not care at all. They are operating from a place of fear and would rather throw you under the bus or into the meat grinder that impact their own bonus.
T-Life is dangerously close to a major outage, once that happens whoever’s left is going to wish they were gone. Leadership will freak out and point fingers at everyone put themselves.
There was an issue with T-Life a couple weeks ago. Jeff Simon was up in arms demanding to know who cut corners to get this change out the door? Why were corners cut? Turns out Jeff was the one that signed off on cutting the corners. He knew the risk and when things went sideways, he went off on the people that he told to do the work.
