Thread regarding GE Digital layoffs

Central services do not work well at GE

In the nearly two decades I have been with GE, it appears that central services do not work well at GE. There are those who think that they can do it better, cheaper than the businesses can do it themselves. However, what I find is you get what you pay for. CoreTech doesn’t really take to heart what the businesses complained about. They assume they are infallible and it is what it is. The new billing model is ridiculous. The implementation of GEIT ServiceNow was extremely subpar. They shoved that new CMDB instance down the businesses throat. Turns out it was nothing more than a hack job loaded with inaccuracies. The data lake? More like the abyss where accurate data disappears. What does it say when your vender has an overpriced, complex billing model and can’t even keep your data and processes accurate? No wonder they are getting outsourced.

I love how CoreTech insists that their billing has declined each year. Really? Why does an Amazon EC2 instance cost $1500 a month?

I agree that the new instance of ServiceNow looks pretty, but is utterly useless and lacks a lot of the data that the old ServiceNow instance had. And is even far less usable than the old TSG instance of ServiceNow.

Then, the ultimate question is why has it been nearly 9 months since we've been able to do PC refreshes? Why does it take weeks to get new hire machines? Makes no sense. Of course the big wigs keep insisting that things are getting better and we're saving money. I can't seem to make the numbers work. How is it cheaper to give an engineer a half installed OS on a machine that they'll need to waste a day on getting it ready enough for them to install the applications they need and load their data? Then how is is cheaper to overnight machines to Miami, FL versus sending a pallet via freight to Cincinnati, OH? Someone isn't thinking through their unintended consequences.
