Is anybody else getting really fu--ing tired of this?

Yikes. Soon I might have to actually work.
Yes. I think it's the same everywhere. High interest rates dramatically changed the number of employees are willing to hire. Why wouldn't it though? If you have to beat 7% guaranteed returns on every new capital investment, a lot of projects with small ROI don't make sense to even start.
Yep, Wiley Wilkens is somewhere on a gold toilet still thinking he made a positive difference. That fat degenerate b@stard may be 4th worst in Att history behind Randall, Stankey, and the joke that listened to him.
“the funny thing about Microsoft, is that a major licensing agreement was up this past June. I think the deal that got ATT the 40% discount may be vaporized now. I suspect that the whole job cuts thing was related to the massive bill that Microsoft sent. Throw in the github debacle and you can bet that ATT will need to get down to 40k people to prevent a financial collapse. I seriously think that Microsoft could buy ATT at some point. In reality what a genius move. Hook a major telecommunications company, milk them dry, then buy them with the cash they just paid you.”
I said this some time ago, what a genius play on Microsoft’s part to rope in d-mbasses like Legg and Stankey - convince them Azure would be cheaper than on-premise, get them to waste tons of money migrating everything over, everything has become significantly worse and more complex due to ancient legacy T security and networking requirements, making deployments overall significantly more difficult and slower.
On top of all that, no one ever spins down POCS, I have POCS that I have subscription access to that are STILL getting charged monthly fees YEARS after they were done or ‘quit’ just eating Stankeys lunch. I look at the bills and salivate knowing how much money they’re wasting on literally nothing.
Tens of thousands of dollars on some of them doing absolutely nothing. Guess what? Not my job to fill out the bs paperwork to spin them down, next.
Between all that, I’m certain it’s cost us more switching to Azure than it would have cost to stay on prem.
Maybe if all the technical folk didn’t hate Stankey and the company we’d actually start trying to reduce Azure costs, but nah. They’re sc--wing us, fu-k’em.

Being held more accountable for work?
Migration to cloud was stopped after someone realized it is not a saving.
Well no sh-t, who would have seen that coming?
Let me fill you on a little secret: the meeting where Azure was first pitched to the executives was compiled entirely by Microsoft themselves. Guess who assembled all of the "cost savings" charts? ;)
My mouth dropped when I heard this. Conflict of interest much??
Then there's the broken promise. The cost savings was supposed to come from needing less system admins to maintain cloud services. Only problem is Azure is a burning dumpster fire of a product that the system admins who once supported on-prem systems now have to deal with finding workarounds for all of the bullsh-t, nonstop problems stemming from Microsoft. Essentially, the amount of work hasn't changed, it simply shifted.
Microsoft lied to AT&T.
took over another coworker's job since last year. i suppose job security but its he-l
Don't try to do what you can't do, otherwise it'll be your neck on the chopping block. Learn to say no or just ignore them.
This company punishes people harder when they actively try to help and that help results in breakage, as opposed to when they simply choosing not to do anything at all.
I've witnessed my coworkers get reprimanded when they've attempted to pick things up they can't handle. Don't make that mistake: let things break.
Us wave 1 and wave 2 folks that declined, told you that would happen.
I just don't do what I can't do. Prioritize...
What I can't do can disappear, I'll move on.
Legg tower is lacking projects. Migration to cloud was stopped after someone realized it is not a saving. I’m so bored here doing same simple tasks for few years now. No innovation. It amazes me how my team was able to survive for so many years. We have very talented AD who knows how to stay under the radar.
Overtime is available. Just ask your manager.
is it better than cleaning up vomit on aisle 6?
I am extremely tired, on top of 2hr ride for 3 days and freezing cold office. Looking for another job and getting interviews. Only a matter of time until I leave.
