Thread regarding NTT Data layoffs

You all need to just let it go. Morabito and the cloud crew are not worth it. That includes the managers and supervisors that fall under him now. Let them carry on the traditions of Gainwell. And just like Gainwell, they'll end up in the shi-tt-er

What? You dont like to be strung along, treated like sh!t, with less than minimum respect on a daily baisis.... How dare you

So many people want to jump off the Gainwell contract, but can't afford loosing their employment. Has a hostage feel and management knows it.

@wd

Gainwell still owns your soul and NTT signed a contract with the devil himself to keep you bound in he-l.

I've had to double up on the Amlodipine and Venalaxfine to try and reduce the anxiety and depression. I'm going to have to go back to the doctor and try to get something stronger. At the beginning of the day, I'm on the verge of an anxiety attack and at the end of each day, I'm sick to my stomach.

What I'm having to deal with at work is nothing new. But it's a continuation of things before I was rebadged to NTT. I was hoping for something better once I was on NTT's payroll, but the managers came over as well and the NTT managers have taken on the persona of the managers that were rebadged Same c-r-a-p, but now there's a few more NTT managers towing the line for the other company as well

Last August I told a manager over me that I wanted to pursue a different path. His remark was, 'I'm glad you want to do that, but let's stick with the plan'. I still don't know what the plan is or was.

Is the plan to lock me into a position that is basically career sui-cide. To prevent me from moving on and doing what I enjoy. If that's was the plan, it's working. Congrats on ruining someone else's aspirations.

I work in an area that everyone wants out of. Two have managed to escape but not without managers/supervisors putting obstacles in the way. They got lucky and managed to get around those obstacles. The rest of us, not so much.

There is no training or skills improvement outside of what you do/study during your free time.. But without opportunity, it means nothing. We've been forced into roles as administrative assistants despite our eroding skillsets as engineers.

Stuff is thrown at us in an adhoc manner with no guidance or direction beforehand. We're intentionally held back or information is withheld until the last moment. Then it's surprise, use your imagination. BTW, if you mess up, we'll let you know about it after the fact.

Another manager told me, if I didn't like what I was doing. Go apply for a job elsewhere. I'm not talking about a different department, but a totally different company. In other words, I have to leave the company to do what I want to do or advance my skillsets. Is how I took his remark. Which is sad. So advancing or improving one's skillsets, or moving to a different area, while staying at NTT is nothing but hyperbole.

I feel as if I have no worth other than I fill a position that a contract mandates. But doing anything of value isn't available for me in my currrent role. And everyday a little more of my confidence and self-esteem is stripped away.

Life in the cloud, it's just not rainbows and unicorns.

Should be called the No Voice Survey or the We Only Listen to You if You are part of the problem survey

This was the most negative survey I have completed in 37+ years in IT. They laid off my manager last summer, we now report to someone in India who is never online when we are online, makes no sense to have a US West Coast employee report to someone with a 12.5 hour difference.
This company is getting worse and worse to work for, I really miss the old NTT Ltd.
