One Follett is dead. Share services moving back to the business units.

Now this is the craziest thing of all from the whacked out Follett leadership. They lay off employees, only to turn around and hire them back as consultants for even more money. Bazinga.
Infosys is on the top 20 list. Of course they can give their cow dung jockeys job security when the money keeps rolling in from clueless execs like those at Follett. They just keep rolling from one host to the next like parasites.

When you have a job you like, it’s good to know that it offers stability and security in addition to a decent paycheck. That’s why job security is an important factor for those looking for work.
So sad too bad. May your roads to re employment be gated by those you displaced.
This applies to accounting and HR as well.
It means all of IT gets laid off, and the business units write the business requirements, pick vendors, and contract them to implement systems changes.
Which means the business has a lot more work to do, and will get systems that match incomplete BRDs. Then Follett will get a patchwork of systems, with issues consultants don't address initially, so they get another contract. Changes will create issues in systems downstream, causing the need for more work. The costs will rapidly go up, but our CIO, who owns stock in outsourcing companies, makes money, even though our systems will break.
It means more IT failures, as we've been seeing ever since SS came to Follett.
What does that mean?
